AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The Foursquare distillery in Barbados was founded by the Seale family in the mid-1990s. The Seales, having bottled rum in Barbados for over five generations, own a string of traditional brands which now feature Foursquare rum as their main component.
Barbados 1999 has been distilled by Foursquare on pot and column stills and matured in ex-rum American Oak cask for 22 years. This Foursquare spent 8 years in the tropics. The cask yielded 210 bottles containing spirit at 61% ABV. Only 210 bottles have been bottled.
Tasting Notes:
“The Colours of Rum have released a fine selection of well-aged Foursquare. Colour: rich gold. Nose: ultra-typical, even at 61% ABV, opening on nougat, maple syrup, and honey popcorn, with touches of coconut and a hint of diesel fuel. A fresh profile leading to notes of fresh sugarcane juice and violets. Truly very pretty and elegant. With water: lovely notes of fresh rubber, ‘new Nike’, brake fluid, orange zest, genever, etc. Mouth (neat): the high strength brings out a marked bitterness, artichoke liqueur, and very dark chocolate—it needs water. With water: loads of oranges of all kinds, including Seville oranges, with a pinch of salt and pepper, as well as ginger. Finish: long, but unchanged. That wasn’t needed anyway. Peppery aftertaste. Comments: extremely pretty, just as expected.”
SGP:651 - 89 points.
