Foursquare Exceptional Cask Selection 2011 emerges as a paragon of Barbadian rum, meticulously crafted by the esteemed Foursquare Rum Distillery. This particular expression is a testament to the distillery’s commitment to innovation and excellence, distilled in 2011 and aged for 14 years in a combination of ex-bourbon and ex-Madeira casks. The dual maturation process imparts a complex interplay of flavors, with the bourbon casks contributing classic notes of vanilla and toasted oak while the Madeira casks add layers of rich fruitiness and subtle spice. The result is an impeccably balanced spirit that showcases the artistry of blending and aging without any added sweeteners or flavorings, adhering to Foursquare’s philosophy of authenticity.
On the palate, this rum reveals its multifaceted character; it begins with an inviting warmth that unfolds into a symphony of dried fruits—think figs and apricots—complemented by hints of almond and caramel. As one delves deeper into the tasting experience, secondary notes emerge: leather, tobacco, and a whisper of cinnamon. This complexity is underpinned by a robust yet silky texture that carries through to a long finish where echoes of those initial fruit notes are enlivened by an elegant oaky resonance. At 62% ABV (cask strength), Foursquare Exceptional Cask Selection 2011 offers both intensity and finesse—a harmonious blend that will captivate aficionados seeking depth in their sipping rum experience.

Rum is a distilled spirit made primarily from sugarcane juice or molasses, offering a diverse range of flavors and styles. It can be produced using either pot still or column still distillation methods, resulting in various textures that range from smooth to rich, and light-bodied to full-bodied depending on the style and aging process.
This versatile spirit can be unaged, known as white rum, or aged in barrels to develop deeper flavors found in gold and dark rums. The aroma profile typically includes sweet and fruity notes with hints of caramel, vanilla, and spice; tropical fruits and coconut may also emerge based on the aging conditions. Rum is commonly used in cocktails such as Mojitos, Daiquiris, Pina Coladas, Rum Punches, and Mai Tais, making it a staple in both casual gatherings and sophisticated mixology.
