Foursquare 2005 Cask Strength Single Blended Rum is one of three Exceptional Cask Selection 2018 releases from Richard Seale’s Foursquare Distillery. The Foursquare 2005 Cask Strength Single Blended Rum is Exceptional Cask Selection VI, whilst the 10 year old Bourbon and Cognac cask Dominus is mark VII and the 10 year old Bourbon and Sherry cask Premise is mark VIII.
Foursquare Rum is produced by R L Seale, one of Barbados’ oldest trading houses, a family-owned business whose involvement in rum-making extends from father-to-son since 1820. Current head distiller, Richard Seale, is one of the region’s most innovative distillers and blenders and has a passion for producing perfect rum with great flavour. The Foursquare Distillery occupies the site of a former sugar factory that dates back to 1636 and, as one of the most modern and efficient rum distilleries in the world, is designed to be both highly energy efficient and environmentally friendly. Foursquare rum is made from locally owned and sourced sugar cane converted to molasses, fermented very slowly over 44 hours with South African yeast and then distilled. The rum is a blend of pot still and column still rums. The pot still rum brings complexity and flavour whilst the column still rum add balance and aroma.
The Foursquare 2005 Cask Strength is a labelled as single blended rum which, in the proposed Gargano / Seale Categorisation of Rum, is a blend of pot still and traditional column rums, the direct comparison being with Blended Scotch Whisky – read more here.
Foursquare 2005 Cask Strength is, therefore, a blend of column and pot still distilled rums. It is made from rums distilled in 2005 only was tropically aged in Barbados for 12 years in ex-Bourbon casks and bottled in October 2017 at a pretty serious cask strength ABV of 59%. As with all of the Exceptional Cask Selection range nothing is added to sweeten or colour the rum.
