Description
Foursquare Détente is the 14th release in the distillery's Exceptional Cask Selection series. This single blended rum is crafted using both the artisanal double-retort pot still and the traditional twin column Coffey still. The meticulous aging process in both ex-bourbon and ex-port casks imparts a harmonious balance of rich fruit flavors and subtle spice, resulting in a complex and evolving rum experience. Bottled at 51% ABV, it offers a robust yet smooth tasting experience, free from added sugars, colorings, or flavorings.
