Foursquare Convocation \u2013 Exceptional Cask Selection Mark XXVIII
\nFoursquare Convocation is an exclusive rum from the renowned Foursquare Distillery in Barbados, released as part of the acclaimed Exceptional Cask Selection. Known as Convocation (Mark XXVIII), this 14-year-old single blended rum embodies complexity, elegance, and power in perfect harmony.
\nProduction and maturation
\nThe style is \u201csingle blended,\u201d meaning a combination of both pot still and column still distillates from the same distillery. Convocation is crafted from three distinct components carefully brought together:
\nA rum aged 14 years in ex-bourbon casks.
\nA rum aged 14 years in ex-Madeira casks.
\nA rum aged 10 years in ex-bourbon casks, followed by 4 years in ex-Madeira casks.
\nRather than relying on short finishing periods, each component completes its full maturation in its respective cask type. This creates an extraordinary balance, allowing both bourbon and Madeira influences to fully shine.
\nConvocation is bottled at 62% ABV, with no added sugar, color, or chill filtration \u2013 a pure cask strength expression.
\nNose
\nThe aroma opens with vanilla and toasted coconut, layered with dark berries and dried fruits. Hints of tobacco, spice, and subtle oxidative Madeira notes add depth and intrigue.
\nPalate
\nThe taste is rich, powerful, yet refined. Flavors of caramelized grapefruit peel, ripe blackberries, roasted nuts, and dark chocolate dominate, supported by tropical undertones of pineapple and a touch of salted caramel and toffee. The mouthfeel is dense, creamy, and long-lasting.
\nFinish
\nThe finish is long, warm, and sophisticated. Madeira influence reveals itself with dried fruit, nuttiness, and a delicate oxidative, wine-like character, balanced by spicy oak and soft tobacco notes.
\nOverall impression
\nFoursquare Convocation is a brilliant showcase of Richard Seale\u2019s and Foursquare Distillery\u2019s philosophy: purity, honesty, and uncompromising quality. It is a rum for true connoisseurs seeking intensity, as well as for enthusiasts eager to explore how long maturation in different casks can create a deeply layered and harmonious spirit.
\nReleased in limited quantities, Convocation has quickly become highly sought after among collectors and rum lovers alike. Its balance of power and elegance places it among the most remarkable releases in the series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
