Bardstown Bourbon Company Collaborative Series: Foursquare Rum is a landmark limited release born from the partnership of two world-class producers united by a shared commitment to innovation and transparency. Foursquare Rum Distillery of Barbados — directed by fourth-generation distiller Richard Seale and widely regarded as the pinnacle of Caribbean rum — provided ex-rum barrels for this extraordinary whiskey finish.
The base is a purposefully crafted blend of 90% 7-year-old Indiana rye (45% corn, 51% rye, 4% malted barley) and 10% 17-year-old Tennessee bourbon (84% corn, 8% rye, 8% malted barley) — designed specifically to complement the Barbados rum character. The blend was then finished for a remarkable 23 months in Foursquare ex-rum casks on the top floor of Bardstown's rickhouse G, maximizing evaporation and concentration for an intensely flavored result. Bottled at 110 proof (55% ABV).

About Foursquare Rum Distillery
Located on a former sugar farm dating to approximately 1720 in Barbados, Foursquare was re-opened by the Seale family in 1996.

Outstanding neat or on a single large ice cube. The synergy of rye spice and Barbados rum warmth is unmistakable. A must-have limited release for collectors and adventurous whiskey drinkers.
