“Balanced, sweet, vanilla, oak. Easy sipping rum.”

The Exceptional Cask Selection VIII Premise is a well-regarded rum distilled in Barbados at the Foursquare distillery. Crafted from molasses using both pot and column stills, and aged for 10 years, this limited release boasts only 30,000 bottles. With an ABV of 46%, its aroma offers notes like vanilla, wood, and coconut. The taste mirrors the nose with vanilla, oak, and dried fruit, complemented by caramel undertones. User reviews highlight its balance and natural sweetness, with some noting its complexity akin to the Foursquare Port Cask Finish. While praised for its easy drinking qualities and nuanced flavors, some feel it lacks boldness. Overall, it’s appreciated for its refined profile and elegant presentation.

“For me, this is one of the best sipping rums from Foursquare. Various other releases at cask strength have already shown that Foursquare harmonizes well with ex-sweet wine casks, and here is proof of this at reduced drinking strength.”
