Foursquare 14 Years Old TOUCHSTONE Single Blended Rum 61% Vol. 0,7l

The Foursquare 14 Years Old TOUCHSTONE Single Blended Rum 61% Vol. 0.7 l is an impressive example of the precise craftsmanship of the renowned Foursquare Distillery in Barbados, which is appreciated worldwide for its uncompromising quality and authentic rum styles. This exclusive bottling, which was released in November 2022 as part of the acclaimed Exceptional Cask Selection (Mark XXII), stands for depth, complexity and the unmistakable signature of Master Distiller Richard Seale.

Touchstone is a single blended rum distilled in both pot stills and column stills - a combination typical of Foursquare that balances intense aromatic richness with textural elegance. After distillation, the rum matured for a total of 14 years in ex-bourbon and ex-cognac barrels, creating a perfect balance between tropical sweetness, spice and fine wood notes. The tropical climate of Barbados accelerates the maturation process and ensures an exceptional concentration of aromas.

Bottled at a powerful 61% vol., naturally not chill-filtered and with no added sugar or colorants, Touchstone represents the distillery's pure, unadulterated style - uncompromisingly honest and full of depth. It shows how masterfully Foursquare has mastered the art of barrel maturation and how elegantly bourbon and cognac barrel aromas combine to form a harmonious whole. 

Tasting notes:

Color: Deep amber with golden reflections.

Nose: Rich and complex with notes of vanilla, caramel, dried fruit and subtle oak accents.

Taste: Full-bodied, strong and warm with aromas of honey, baked banana, toffee, oak spice and a hint of grape skin from the cognac barrel.

Finish: Long-lasting, dry and elegant with vanilla, roasted aromas and a fine woody note.

The Foursquare Touchstone is a rum for connoisseurs, which is best enjoyed neat or with a drop of water to develop its full aromatic depth. It is ideal for quiet moments of pleasure or as a fine accompaniment to dark chocolate with sea salt, roasted nuts or desserts with caramel and dried fruit. It also unfolds its full presence with a fine cigar. An outstanding example of Barbadian rum culture that reflects the philosophy of Foursquare - honesty, craftsmanship and authenticity - at the highest level.
