A solid representation of Barbados rum. The nose has caramel, vanilla, wood, tobacco, and dried fruit. The taste is roasted nuts, chocolate, dried fruit, and spices. The finish is long with a pleasant mix of honey and vanilla.
Uiuiui, nice surprise, tested briefly when it pops up here, in contrast to the various Foursquare I had in my glass before and at the GRF, this one stands out positively and surpasses them.
I’m comparing this to Equidem - and to me that’s high praise (currently amongst the best tasting rums I’ve put to my lips so far!) The nose on this is delightful - I’m grinning from ear to ear!! You do get the signature coconut, caramel, burnt sugar and toasted notes but you also smell the presence of the Madeira cask as well - almost doubling down on the caramel side of things with the smallest tinge of nuttiness and dried fruits along with it. On the palate, the Madeira is pushed front and centre to the palate - it doesn’t dominate, it’s just the bourbon barrel part of the blend definitely plays a supporting duet kind of role… Notes of vanilla, cinnamon, burnt sugar, maple syrup alongside the usual Madeira cask notes of sharp yet floral dried fruits…. What’s REALLY apparent is the texture both in smell and taste - it smells and tastes thick, velvety, full bodied, balanced, complex and creamy. An utter delight for me!
Finishing my second bottle and behind on reviews. I guess I could stop the review at “second bottle” as it speaks for itself. Convocation is bold but really well put together. Oak, vanilla, and dark fruit stand out, with the usual spice keeping it fun. The finish hangs on clean and steady. One of those pours that keeps you reaching back for another sip. I’m going to let it sit for a month and try again.
