Foursquare The Duchess & Rum Aan Zee 13 Year Old.
This rum has been exclusively selected for the 12th edition of the “Whisky & Rum aan Zee festival” 2018. It is from a single cask (number 44) yielding 294 bottles and is from one of my favourite distilleries in the world, Foursquare in Barbados.
I have written many times before about Foursquare rums so I won’t repeat myself here today. Suffice to say, I think that everything coming from Foursquare is top notch.
As is always the case with Foursquare, there are no additives in this rum. Furthermore this blend of pot and column still rums has no added colouring and comes in at a stonking 59% ABV. It has been aged for 13 years, three in the Caribbean and ten in Europe.
The bottler, “The Duchess”, is an independent bottler of fine whiskies and rums. According to their promotional material “All rum releases by The Duchess have an excellent flavour and character, and are always free of colourants and flavour additives. An honest rum for an honest price!”
The UK and Europe do seem to be very fortunate to have so many independent bottlers of fine spirits. Under Richard Seale’s/Luca Gargano’s proposed rum categorisation, this would most-likely be classed as a “Single Blended Rum” – A blend of only pot still and traditional column still. When tested with my hydrometer, I measured 59% implying no detectable additives in the rum.
