Foursquare Rum Distillery Criterion is the latest rum in their Exceptional Cask Selection. It seems that in the Foursquare world it never rains but it pours. Just last year we were spoilt with numbers 3 and 4 in the Exceptional Cask Selection and the “controversial” Foursquare 2006.

Duncan Taylor are a Whisky and Rum bottler from Aberdeen, Scotland. They have been selling their rums in distinctive flask style bottles for a number of years now.
Like another Independent bottler, Mezan they keep a very similar presentation for each rum. With them releasing so many rums, some differing only by a cask number it can make deciding on what to buy quite tricky!
The latest release from Bristol is this (near) Cask Strength effort from the Caroni Distillery. Bristol have released a good few Caroni rums over the past few years. Including their 1974 effort, which I have sadly yet to review.
Amongst these I seem to remember a Cask Strength Caroni which was possibly released for the Danish or European market only?
The El Dorado Rare Collection will likely need little introduction. This is a rum from the Enmore EHP (Edward Henry Porter – original owner of what was the Enmore Estate) Wooden Coffey Still.
Which is one the most heralded stills in DDL’s portfolio. It is capable of producing a number of different marques of rum from light to heavy and is featured regularly in both El Dorado’s and other independently produced blends.
Foursquare 2006. The first collaboration between Velier and Foursquare Distillery, Barbados. This will certainly not be the last. With Velier no longer issuing their acclaimed aged Demerara rums from DDL, Luca Gargano has began sourcing rum from other distilleries to release under the Velier banner.
Expressions is the first in a series of Aged Pot Still Rums, to be released by the newly formed Old Man Rum Co.
Foursquare Rum Distillery should need little or no introduction. Over the past few years alone, the distillery has released a number of new innovative rums.
These new rums compliment and expand upon the existing classics in the Foursquare repertoire.
Thanks to importer Marussia Beverages, the UK has been treated to a number of new releases in the past couple of months. Some have been unexpected such as the Doorly’s 8 Year Old (review coming soon). Others such as this rum, very much anticipated and eagerly received!
