DESCRIPTION

Introducing the **FOURSQUARE ZINFANDEL 11 YEARS OLD**, a distinctive expression of the Foursquare Distillery's masterful fusion of tradition and innovation in rum making. Produced in the tropical climate of Barbados, this rum features a complex profile that has been meticulously crafted and aged, demonstrating a commitment to quality and creativity in every bottle.

The rum begins its journey with a base of high-quality molasses, distilled using both **pot and column still techniques**. This dual method of distillation allows the rum to develop a rich and nuanced flavour profile that captures the unique characteristics of its ingredients. The initial maturation takes place in **ex-Bourbon barrels**, lending the spirit classic notes of vanilla and toasted oak.

The Foursquare Zinfandel 11 Years Old goes a step further in its aging journey. After the bourbon cask aging, it undergoes a secondary maturation in **Zinfandel wine casks**. Zinfandel, a grape known for robust red wines with vibrant fruit flavours, imparts additional layers of complexity and a subtle fruitiness to the rum. This not only enhances the flavour profile with hints of red berries and a light peppery spice but also gives the rum a distinctive character that sets it apart in the world of premium spirits.

This rum is bottled at a comfortable **43% ABV**, providing a perfect balance that allows the nuances of both the rums and the wine-influenced finish to be showcased beautifully without overpowering the senses. Aged under the intense Barbadian sun, the tropical aging process accelerates the interaction between the rum and the cask, intensifying the flavours and allowing the rum to mature more quickly than it might in cooler climates.

The Foursquare Distillery, located in Barbados and operated by the Seale family, is renowned for its innovation and commitment to transparency in the rum industry. Under the leadership of Richard Seale, Foursquare has earned a reputation for producing some of the finest rums in the world by eschewing additives and focusing on natural flavours derived from skilled distillation and careful cask selection. This commitment is evident in every bottle of Foursquare Zinfandel 11 Years Old, where the quality speaks for itself.

Bottled as an official expression by the distillery, this rum is a testament to Foursquare's dedication to craftsmanship and quality. The presentation of the rum in a 70cl bottle ensures that aficionados have ample opportunity to enjoy and savour this exquisite spirit either neat, with ice, or as a dignified base in a sophisticated cocktail.

**FOURSQUARE ZINFANDEL 11 YEARS OLD** is not just a rum; it's a journey through the art of distillation and aging, highlighting the unique climate of Barbados and the passion of the Foursquare team. For lovers of fine spirits, this rum offers an exploration of flavour that promises to intrigue and delight in every sip.
