Foursquare Magisterium 16 Year Single Blended Rum

Process & Profile

Foursquare Magisterium 16 Year Single Blended Rum is a standout offering from Foursquare Distillery, located on a historic sugar plantation in Barbados. Crafted under the guidance of Master Distiller Richard Seale, this limited-edition release marks the 26th entry in the Exceptional Cask Selection series, unveiled in late 2024. The rum is a blend of three distinct 16-year-old rums, distilled using both a copper double-retort pot still and a continuous twin column Coffey still. Two of the components undergo a double maturation process: one aged initially in ex-bourbon casks for 3 years before spending 13 years in ex-oloroso sherry barrels, and another aged 9 years in ex-bourbon followed by 7 years in ex-oloroso sherry. The third rum matures entirely in ex-bourbon casks for 16 years. All aging, blending, and bottling occur on-site in Barbados, with no added sugar, color, or filtration, preserving its natural character. Bottled at 58% ABV (116 proof), this release showcases a deep, dark hue and a robust, authentic profile.

Tasting Notes

  • Nose: A warm and inviting mix of caramelized orange peel, toasted coconut, and passionfruit, with hints of candied nuts, cedar, and a touch of sea breeze.

  • Palate: Rich and full-bodied, featuring dark cocoa, hazelnut, and orange zest, with a savory mid-draw cigar note and subtle blueberry tones, balanced by sherry-induced depth.

  • Finish: Long and dry, with pronounced oak and a lingering warmth, accented by traces of spiced fruit and a faint peppery kick.

What Makes It Special

  • Double Maturation Mastery: The dual aging in ex-bourbon and ex-oloroso sherry casks creates a unique interplay of sweet and savory flavors.

  • Hand-Selected Excellence: Richard Seale personally selects each cask, ensuring only the finest expressions are released under the Exceptional Cask banner.

  • Limited Availability: As a one-of-a-kind release, it’s crafted in small quantities, appealing to rum aficionados and collectors seeking rare finds.

How to Enjoy

  • Neat or With Water: Savor neat to experience its full complexity or add a splash of water to soften the intensity and highlight subtler notes.

  • Cocktails: Enhances a sophisticated Old Fashioned, letting the rum’s rich flavors shine with a minimal mix of sugar and bitters.

  • Pairing: Complements dark chocolate, roasted nuts, or a savory charcuterie board for a luxurious tasting session.
