Foursquare Convocation 14 Year Mark XXVIII Single Blended Rum

Process & Profile

Foursquare Convocation 14 Year Mark XXVIII Single Blended Rum is a celebrated addition to the Exceptional Cask Selection series from Foursquare Rum Distillery in Barbados. Crafted by Master Distiller Richard Seale, this limited release, marked as the 28th in the series, blends two distinct 14-year-aged molasses rums. One component is distilled using a double-retort pot still, while the other comes from a twin column Coffey still, showcasing the distillery’s diverse production methods. One rum matures entirely in ex-bourbon barrels, while the other is aged exclusively in ex-Madeira casks, adding rich complexity. All aging, blending, and bottling occur on-site in Barbados, with no added sugar, color, or filtration, preserving its authentic character. Bottled at 62% ABV (124 proof), this deep amber rum highlights the distillery’s commitment to craftsmanship.
