The Foursquare Sagacity Exceptional Cask Selection Mark XI is a 12-year-old blended rum from the esteemed Foursquare Distillery in Barbados. This single traditional rum is crafted by blending both pot- and column-distilled rums, maturing them in a harmonious mix of ex-bourbon and ex-Madeira casks. The Seale family, whose roots in Barbados date back to the 1650s, brings a long legacy of rum-making expertise to this exceptional creation, making Foursquare a cornerstone in the rum industry.
This extraordinary rum is part of the highly-acclaimed Exceptional Cask Selection series, which features other notable expressions such as Foursquare 2005, Dominus, and Empery. To preserve the rum’s original character, it remains unaltered before bottling, which may result in some natural deposits.
Sagacity greets you with a fragrant aroma of vanilla, candied dried fruits, orange peel, and sweet citrus. Upon tasting, your palate is treated to notes of chocolate, dried fruit richness, smooth honey, and a burst of citrus. The finish is medium to long, with lingering vanilla and a gentle warmth, evoking unforgettable moments of celebration. This exceptional Barbados rum was distilled and aged for 12 years on the island in Foursquare's copper double retort pot still and continuous twin column stills, then aged in ex-bourbon and ex-Madeira casks before its release in August 2019. A true testament to the Foursquare legacy and the artistry of rum-making, the Foursquare Sagacity Exceptional Cask Selection Mark XI is a must-try for any rum enthusiast.
