In a recent development that's stirring excitement among fine spirit enthusiasts, The Whisky Exchange, a renowned retailer of top-tier spirits, has announced an exclusive collaboration with the esteemed Foursquare Distillery. This partnership has given birth to a uniquely crafted rum, Foursquare Mystique, which promises to offer a refined taste experience.
Aged for 14 years, Foursquare Mystique embarked on its journey in an ex-bourbon barrel for its first decade, followed by a final four-year period in an ex-sherry cask. This two-phase maturation, meticulously supervised by the acclaimed master blender and distiller of Foursquare, Richard Seale, has resulted in a rum that bursts with tropical fruit flavors. The warm climate coupled with the quality of the sherry casks has infused Foursquare Mystique with a mature palate, featuring rich undertones of coffee, tobacco, and the distinct aroma of cigar boxes.
Richard Seale's innovative vision and his commitment to excellence have positioned Foursquare Distillery at the forefront of global rum production. His Exceptional Cask Selection series, a testament to the family's four-generation legacy, has been celebrated for showcasing the epitome of Barbadian rum craftsmanship.
Foursquare Mystique stands as a testament to the distillery's adeptness in harmonizing diverse cask styles. Its tropical maturation process has expedited the fusion of oak and spirit, resulting in a unique expression with a complexity usually found in significantly older spirits.
Dawn Davies, the head buyer at The Whisky Exchange, expressed her enthusiasm: “We're proud to support Foursquare at The Whisky Exchange. Partnering with Richard Seale for this limited release is an honor. These rums represent a gateway for whisky enthusiasts venturing into the burgeoning rum category, as well as offering a delightful experience for dedicated rum aficionados.”
Davies' tasting notes paint a vivid picture of the rum's profile:
Priced at £110, Foursquare Mystique is now available for purchase exclusively at The Whisky Exchange.
