Description
A remarkable blend of three distinct 16-Year-Old Single Blended Rums, crafted at Foursquare Distillery using both the copper Double-Retort Pot Still and the Continuous Twin Column Coffey Still. Two of the rums underwent double maturation: one aged 3 years in ex-bourbon casks and then 13 years in ex-Oloroso sherry barrels; the other aged 9 years in ex-bourbon, followed by 7 years in ex-Oloroso sherry. The final rum spent its entire 16 years in ex-bourbon casks. All aging, blending, and bottling take place on-site at Foursquare in Barbados, with this expression bottled at 58% ABV (116 Proof).
