Velier Foursquare 2006

Velier Foursquare 2006 is a landmark bottling, the first release in the celebrated partnership between Luca Gargano's Velier and Richard Seale's Foursquare distillery in Barbados, a collaboration that went on to define modern collectible Bajan rum. It is a single blended rum in the classic island idiom, marrying rich double retort pot still spirit with cleaner column distillate from one distillery, matured in ex bourbon oak and bottled tropically aged at full proof.

At ten years and 62% it is concentrated and powerful yet built with the balance Foursquare is known for, all without additives, in keeping with both houses' strict no sugar, no colouring ethos. The cask strength spirit delivers caramel, vanilla, milk chocolate, coconut and licorice over firm oak and a long, spicy finish, intense but elegant and carrying its strength gracefully. This is a benchmark for unsweetened, full proof Barbados rum, aimed at experienced drinkers who want the Foursquare profile turned up to its full depth.
