Foursquare Rum Distillery 12 Year Old "Mark XIII - 2008" Ex-Bourbon Cask" Exceptional Cask Selection Single Blended Barbados Rum

Foursquare Rum Distillery really should need no introduction. Originally set up by Reginald Leon Seale, the great-great grandfather of the current Master Blender and Distiller Richard Seale, the distillery has become the byword for classic Caribbean rum. Richard Seale is an absolute iconoclast who has turned the rum world on its head. In an industry dominated by huge drinks corporations that has long sold a story above the quality of its product, Seale has fought for transparency in production and labeling of rum. Derided by some as an idealistic purist, he is championed by many (including K&L) as a leader in an industry that has transformed how we think about rum and what rum consumers want. It's no wonder that noted spirits authority Fred Minnick has called Foursquare "the Pappy of rum." We have tracked down an exceptional and rare cask of Foursquare (not an easy feat), and as always for Foursquare, it has been bottled without color, caramel, or sugar added. The Mark X bottling is aged in a combination of first-, second-, and third-fill ex-bourbon barrels and is part of a special line of limited editions. These rums are the personal passion project of Richard Seale, and he only releases them if and when he feels their quality warrants it.
