History,
Foursquare 2005 was distilled, funnily enough back in 2005. It was bottled in January 2018 and has benefitted from 12 years of tropical ageing in Barbados. Aged in ex-bourbon barrels it is a blend of Pot and Column Distilled rum. No sugar, no additives and definitely no marketing bullshit. Limited to 12,000 bottles worldwide – 6,000 in Europe and 6,000 in the US.
Tasting Notes,
The nose is familiar. Lovely spicy bourbon casks – white pepper, lime zest and a touch of ginger and nutmeg. This is balanced by a really beautiful sweetness – vanilla and milk chocolate. You would never guess this was such a potent rum at 59% ABV. Tropical fruits are revealed on further nosing with hints of coconut and banana. Notes of chewy sugary toffee.
