Details
Foursquare 2011 is a Single Blended Rum, in that it is a blend of heavy and light marques Rums distilled in the copper double retort pot-still, and the continuous twin column stills of Foursquare Distillery. Matured in Barbados for 12 years in ex-bourbon cask American white oak, before blending and bottling at Foursquare.
Foursquare 2011 offers both a welcome familiarity in the house style, but compliments this with a unique flavour profile. A complex and evolving sip, that is balanced in its delivery. Its approachability belying its presentation strength. A truly excellent rum that you would want to return to time and again.
