Foursquare 2009 Single Blend Rum

Foursquare 2009 is Mark XVII of the Exceptional Cask Selection — the vintage that followed the beloved 2008, and the fourth in the distillery's run of twelve-year, ex-bourbon, 60% single-vintage releases. Foursquare is the distillery Fred Minnick dubbed the Pappy of rum: the Seale family's operation in St. Philip, Barbados, where Richard Seale has led the fight for unadulterated rum — no sugar, no color, no additives, no filtration — and every drop is distilled, aged, blended, and bottled on the island. 2009 is a Single Blended Rum, pot and Coffey column distillate married before the cask, distilled in 2009, tropically aged twelve years in ex-bourbon barrels, and bottled at 60% ABV in 2021 in limited quantities. The vintage series is the purest expression of the house: no finishing cask, just Foursquare's spirit and American oak in the Barbados heat. Expect the classic one-two of vanilla and toasted oak on the nose with coconut, caramel, and a solvent-tinged tropical fruit note, opening into a powerful, peppery palate of dried fruit, ginger, cinnamon, allspice, and the house's signature buttery texture, finishing long with leather, tobacco, and a hint of salinity. Honest note: ECS vintages sell out and climb on the secondary market, and each year's balance of pot and column shifts subtly — the 2008 and 2009 make a fascinating side-by-side. Neat, with a drop of water, slowly.
