Foursquare 14 years Of. Redoutable Ex-Bourbon & Ex-Madeira Casks - bottled 2020 Exceptional Cask Selection Mark XV

The wine

A Foursquare 14 year old matured in bourbon and Madeira casks bottled in 2020. As is often the case at Foursquare, this is a blend of rums distilled in column and pot stills. The Exceptional Cask Selection range was created in 2008. It is a great example of the diversity of which Foursquare is capable, with classic maturations in bourbon casks appearing alongside more original wood such as brandy, Madeira and sherry. This is the fifteenth edition in the range.

About the Producer Foursquare

Looking for a rum produced by a family company that respects traditional methods? Then look no further. Foursquare is a family-owned distillery that has been masterfully managed by the Seale family since it was first founded in the 19th century. The distillery is located on the island of Barbados in the Caribbean Sea. The story goes that in 1883 Reginald Leon Seale decided to learn the art of rum blending. He then created his first company in 1926, lending his initials to the business name, R.L. Seale & Co. At the time, Barbados could not market its own rum, which was instead sold to bottlers and other independent brands. The distillery was handed from father to son, until Foursquare was built in 1996 on the site of the former sugar refinery and distillery of the same name. Rums are produced at the distillery from diluted molasses, and fermented with South African yeasts. Foursquare quickly established a strong reputation for its ex-bourbon cask maturations.
