Set to delight those who appreciate fine spirits, The Whisky Exchange, a leading purveyor of the finest spirits, proudly announces its latest partnership with renowned Foursquare distillery.
Exclusive to The Whisky Exchange, this elegant and complex rum spent a decade maturing in an ex-bourbon barrel before a final four years in an ex-sherry cask. This dual maturation process, overseen by Foursquare master blender and distiller, Richard Seale, unveils tropical fruit flavours, with the hot climate and quality sherry casks giving this an extra layer of complexity with mature notes of coffee, tobacco and cigar boxes.
Seale’s pioneering spirit and forward-thinking approach have solidified Foursquare Distillery as a global leader in rum production. With a legacy spanning four generations, his Exceptional Cask Selection series exemplifies the mastery of Barbadian rum.
Foursquare Mystique showcases the distillery’s ability to seamlessly pair with a plethora of cask styles. Its full-term tropical maturation has sped up the integration of oak and spirit, resulting in one-of-a-kind expression with a complex character usually associated with much older spirits.
Dawn Davies, head buyer at The Whisky Exchange comments: “We have always been huge supporters of Foursquare at the Whisky Exchange and it is an honour to partner with Richard Seale on another limited release with him. The rums are the perfect stepping stone for the whisky drinker who wants to explore this fast-growing category as well as providing delicious liquid for the rum lover.”
Davies tasting notes:
Nose: cassia bark, dried orange peel, coffee, cigar boxes, tobacco and dark, pan-roasted spices.
Palate: brown sugar, dates, buttered toffee popcorn, nutmeg, cinnamon and a hint of clove with warming spice on the finish.
Finish: this is a rum for the whisky lover who appreciates a rich, sherry-cask dram
Foursquare Mystique is priced at £110, available now from The Whisky Exchange
