The Foursquare Exceptional Cask Selection XXII Touchstone is a 14-year-old Barbadian rum, distilled from molasses using a combination of pot and column stills in 2008. This exceptional expression is matured in a harmonious blend of bourbon and Cognac casks, resulting in a complex and flavorful palate. The rum captivates with a tantalizing bouquet of oak, refined fruity aroma, and smooth, warm spice notes. The palate features luscious tropical fruit essences, notably pineapple, melding seamlessly with charming woody undertones and an exquisite cocoa finish. The olfactory experience is further enhanced by brown sugar nuances, a refreshing hint of citrus, and the inviting allure of baking spices. Bottled at 61% ABV, this limited release is a remarkable discovery for rum connoisseurs, showcasing the rich sophistication of Barbadian rum distillation and the exceptional craftsmanship of the renowned Foursquare distillery.
For the 22nd release in Foursquare's Exceptional Cask Series, the distillery collaborated with the esteemed Camus house to finish the rum in Cognac barrels. Two separate batches of rum were used, with varying ages and cask types, creating unique expressions that were then expertly married by Foursquare's team. This limited release is a testament to the distillery's commitment to innovation and excellence in the Caribbean rum tradition.
