The Wagemut Foursquare Special Edition 2021 is a remarkable creation by Nicolas Kröger, under the Wagemut label. This special edition features a 20-year-old Foursquare rum, bottled in 2021, with an ABV of 50.9%. Produced at the renowned Foursquare Distillery in Barbados, this rum stands out with its unique sherry profile. The rum has been meticulously aged, with part of its maturation process involving a former sherry cask, imparting a rich, sherry-forward character. The edition is limited to just 914 bottles, each in a 700ml elegantly designed standard PX-Cask bottle. Upon pouring, the Wagemut Special Edition 2021 reveals a deep mahogany hue, with thick legs gradually developing on the glass. The aroma immediately captivates with dominant sherry notes, enriched by subtler hints of vanilla, spices, coconut, coffee, and wood. On the palate, this rum is a harmonious blend of sherry, raisin, cherry, brown sugar, dark chocolate, and spice, delivering a rich and sweet experience. The high ABV of 50.9% is skillfully balanced with the sweetness, culminating in a long and satisfying finish that features sherry, raisin, prune, dried fruit, woody notes, and dark chocolate. While this rum may deviate from traditional dry rum profiles, it excels in creativity and craftsmanship, offering a unique experience that combines the best aspects of rum and sherry. Ideal for those who enjoy sweeter, complex profiles with a fondness for sherries or aged port wines, this special edition is a must-try. Its limited availability and reasonable pricing make it an intriguing option for spirits enthusiasts looking to explore innovative expressions in the world of rum.
