Foursquare 12 Year Old Exceptonal Cask Selecton XXII 2009.
A Single Blended Rum consisting of both Artisanal Pot and Traditional Twin Column Coffey distilled molasses rums.
Matured for a minimum of 12 years in Ex-Bourbon Barrels.
All aging, blending and bottling occurring entirely on-site, at Foursquare Rum Distillery in Barbados.
INITIAL IMPRESSIONS: 2009 is bright and fruit forward, while still showing great depth and complexity from aging entirely under a tropical climate.
It showcases significant red fruits - both dried and fresh - brown butter, baking spices, and nuttiness indicative of long aging. The mouthfeel is complex and lingering - with nice oak tannins throughout.
AROMA: Cranberries, Red cherries, and black currants - evolving into mango, Ceylon cinnamon, and allspice. Layers of cocoa, vanilla pods, toasted coconut and caramel candies with a hint of green chili pepper.
PALATE: Bright, fresh with a subtle baking spice finish - cinnamon, clove and allspice. Notes of citrus zest, ripe and overripe fruits, nice lingering sweetness reminiscent of fresh caramel candies and finishes clean and dry with a hint of vanilla.
