Foursquare Magisterium Exceptional Cask Selection Mark XXVI Rum

Foursquare Magisterium is the twenty-sixth release (Mark XXVI) in the Award-Winning Exceptional Cask Selection series. A name that conveys the Mastery of fine aged Rums that experts and enthusiasts have come to expect from the team at Foursquare Rum Distillery.

It contains a blend of Rums, distilled in the copper double retort pot-still and the continuous twin column stills of Foursquare and aged for sixteen years in ex-Bourbon and ex-Sherry casks. More specifically, it is a blend of three aged Rums, a sixteen-year-old ex-bourbon cask and two dual-maturations; the first comprising three years in ex-Bourbon followed by thirteen years in ex-Oloroso Sherry cask, with the second comprising nine years in ex- Bourbon and seven years in ex-Oloroso Sherry. A level of detail appreciated
by enthusiasts of Foursquare Rum.

Presented at 58% ABV, Magisterium may be summarised in a single word; soft. It's complex and evolving on the nose, silky over the palate, with an evolving profile that lingers a long, long time. A Rum that rewards those who take their time exploring this fabulous long-aged expression of mastery by Foursquare.

NOSE: Rich fudge and dark chocolate, dried raisins and sultanas. Tart dried mango and banana chips. Gentle notes or seville orange peel, and a hint of coffee.

PALATE: Silky onto the palate, soft and oily in the mouth. Rich salted caramel and toffee up-front, with a note or creamy vanilla ice cream. Dried dates, raisins, and pineapple. Tart black cherries at the back-end.

FINISH: More dried pineapple, and tart dried mango. Gingerbread, and zesty lemon peel. Gentle grippy-oak and anise at the very end. Warming.
