Originating from the illustrious Foursquare Distillery in Barbados, the 2010 Foursquare 10-Year-Old Rum from Single Cask Nation is a true testament to the art of rum-making. Matured in a single ex-bourbon hogshead for a decade, this limited release boasts only 259 bottles, making it a rare gem for rum enthusiasts. Bottled in 2021 at a robust 55.9% ABV, this rum captures the essence of Foursquare's craftsmanship with its rich and complex profile.
The nose reveals an intriguing blend of acetic acid, typical Foursquare varnish, and vibrant orange notes. Rich aromas of chocolate, mocha, wood, pineapple, and coconut are interwoven with spicy hints of allspice and cocoa, accompanied by a subtle hint of burnt sugar. On the palate, a harmonious balance of sweetness and woodiness is evident, highlighted by flavors of pineapple, caramel, dark chocolate, and roasted notes. The finish is lingering, with nuances of caramel, wood, dried fruit, tannins, warmth, and a pleasantly dry touch.
