Foursquare Isonomy 2005 Barbados #3 (70cl, 58%)

A 17-year-old Barbados rum from the Foursquare Distillery, released as part of the Exceptional Cask Series. It is a single blended rum distilled from molasses using pot and twin column stills, then matured in an ex-Bourbon cask. The distillery is family-owned and traces its roots on Barbados to the 1650s. This release is the oldest official bottling to date and is limited. On the nose there are complex aromas of caramel, vanilla, sweet spices and dried fruit. The palate is round and silky, with wood, leather, candied fruit and dark chocolate. The finish is long and warm, with lingering spicy notes.
