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 2002 has been distilled by Foursquare on pot still only and matured in the ex-rum cask. This Foursquare is 100% continentaly aged. The cask yielded 208 bottles containing spirit at 49% ABV.
Tasting Notes:
“Continental aging here, so probably fewer tropical fruits (makes sense, no? Course not). Colour: white wine. Nose: it’s beautiful! One gets the impression there's quite a bit of pot still, with a touch of tar, charcoal, even rubber and patching glue. Some tiny overripe bananas in the background, then a brand-new iPhone (which does nothing more than the previous one) just delivered by Amazon. iPhone unboxing, there’s a new descriptor, but I think we've used it before. Anyway, it’s not grand arôme, but it’s more grand arôme than most usual Foursquares. Mouth: magnificent lemon and lime, still a bit of tar, brine, liquorice, gentian, I almost mentioned olives but let’s not exaggerate. Very saline, in any case. Finish: long, still on the same saline and tarry notes. A touch of ink. Very fine Foursquare. Comments: so, pure pot still? Or at least a significantly higher proportion of pot still than usual? It almost seems like a low-marque HMPDN.”
SGP:663 - 90 points.
