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 no. 17 was matured in ex-bourbon cask for 11 years, out of which 5 years in the tropics. Distilled in 2010, in column and pot stills, was bottled at 59.3% ABV. 264 bottles only.
Tasting Notes:
“Aged for 5 years in the tropics and probably the usual self-blend of column and pot rums. Now I do vividly and fondly remember the 'pure pot' Foursquare I could try last year. I'm sure there will be more. Colour: gold. Nose: always this orangey lightness that's so seductive, these Jaffa cakes, marmalade, actually even more orange juice (freshly squeezed), orange blossom… Aren't oranges stealing the show here? But rum with Vitamin C, who would complain? With water: light earthiness, putty, marzipan, touch of linoleum perhaps… Mouth (neat): not the first time that I'm finding an agricole side to a Foursquare. Orange cake, cane honey, maple syrup, rosehip tea, these touches of varnish and lemon juice that we always enjoy… With water: stays the same, gets just easier – not that it was difficult before. Finish: medium, on orange blossom madeleines and scones, and indeed orange juice. Soft aftertaste. Comments: particularly excellent at just 11. Now since years in the tropics are tripled, that would actually be (3*5)+6 = 21 years. I liked this one better than No.18.”
SGP: 641- 89 points.
