Bundle Foursquare Sovereignty + La Hechicera Serie Experimental No.1 Muscat
Foursquare Sovereignty is the latest addition to the workshop of Richard Seal and his exclusive rum distillery Foursquare. It is the nineteenth (Mark XIX) rum from the Exceptional Cask Selection. The rum was blended in 2021 and was named Sovereignty, which means "sovereignty", in honor of the important event when Barbados stopped pledging allegiance to Queen Elizabeth II. and officially became a republic.
It is a collector's rum created from a blend of two molasses rums that have been distilled using Pot and Column Stills. The first rum was bottled for 3 years in ex-bourbon casks and finally matured for 11 years in ex-sherry Oloroso casks. The second rum matured for 14 long years in ex-bourbon barrels.
After mixing, it was bottled with 62 % alcohol content without added dyes, sugar and cold filtration. Only 12,000 bottles were produced. For best enjoyment, we recommend serving at room temperature without ice cubes and water.

The experimental series of La Hechicera rum No.1 Muscat Cask-Finished has a varied history of aging in oak barrels, which were filled to the very top with the best nutmeg wine. It was a memorable experiment that was accidentally discovered.
One of the brand's owners, Miguel Riascos Sr., once filled 16 large barrels of barrel with his favorite nutmeg to find out what to do with it. After 12 years, his son Miguel Riascos Jr. discovered in the inventory a remarkable wine with excellent tones of walnuts, plums and leather, ripening under the relentlessly warm climate of Colombian Barranquila. He emptied the barrels of wine. As is customary with special series, he used them again to fill them with La Hechicera rum at the age of 12-21 years.
The result is an experimental limited edition of La Hechicera Muscat rum, distinguished by a final maturation of several months in barrels filled several times - first after rum and then after nutmeg wine.
Maturation history - profile of used barrels:
until 2003 - bourbon matured in barrels
2003 - 2006 - rum matured in the same barrels
2006 - 2018 - nutmeg wine was placed in these barrels
2018 - 2019 - the original Colombian rum La Hechicera returned to the barrels
