9y Foursquare 2012 ex-bourbon and port, cask #164, 55%
This is a blend of pot and column still rums, distilled in 2012, tropically aged in an ex-bourbon cask in Barbados for 8 years, followed by 18 months of secondary maturation in a port cask in New York.
Nose: both rum and bourbon notes on the nose, with vanilla and butterscotch cream soda mingling in a light sweet ballet of flavor.
Taste: balanced and light, yet full-bodied, the subtle sweetness of the rum, with floral, honey and vanilla, are enhanced by a very soft port influence, more like a hint of umami than a distinct flavor of its own, that grows in depth on the mid-palate.
Finish: The second and third sips build on the first, and the initial light flavors blossom into a long and almost savory finish.
Reminder: We only ship spirits within California.
