Foursquare Exceptional Cask Series - Convocation / 70cl

Convocation is the twenty-eight release (Mark XXVIII) in the award winning Exceptional Cask Selection series.  It is a blend of rums distilled in the copper double retort pot-still and the continuous twin column stills of Four Square Rum Distillery, and aged for fourteen years in ex-Bourbon and ex-Madeira fortified wine casks.

More specifically for the detail-oriented, it is a blend of three aged rums: a fourteen year-old ex-Bourbon cask, a fourteen year-old ex-Madeira cask, and a dual-maturation comprising four years in ex-Bourbon and ten years in ex-Madeira fortified wine casks.

This excellent expression of Single Blended Rum is presented at 62% ABV, without chill-filtration, at its natural colour, and free from sweeteners and other adjuncts.

Tasting Notes (By Peter Holland, Foursquare Brand Ambassador (UK))

Nose - Juicy sultanas, pineapple, and zesty orange peel.  Gentle notes of butterscotch underpin delicate nutmeg, cinnamon, and ginger.

Palate - A soft, sweet rush of underripe pineapple, green banana, juicy ripe plum, more sultanas, and gentle toffee.

Finish - A warming embrace of oak, with an abundance of tangy, grippy astringency, dates and raisins, and cinnamon and ginger that lasts and lasts.
