Aged first for 10 years in Ex-Bourbon Barrels, then 4 additional years in Ex-Calvados Casks. All aging, blending and bottling occurring entirely on-site at Foursquare Rum Distillery in Barbados. Bottled at 60% ABV
Initial Impressions: Complex and intriguing, dark, compelling layers reveal themselves more and more over time in glass.
Aroma: Chocolate Truffles, Maduro Cigar Pipe Tobacco & humidor. There is an earthy and rich element in the nose, balanced by rounded fruits and a bright apricot/orange blossom floral note in the background.
Palate: Rich and expressive but with an underlying bright citrus note, layers of berries, cacao beans, caramelized orange and a hint of nuttiness evolve into a subtle spice, leather and a hint of pipe tobacco on the close. Overall bold and complex that lingers on the palate.
