Foursquare Sassafras Single Blended Rum
Foursquare Sassafras Single Blended Rum is a limited edition created by Luca Gargano and Richard Seale. The name is inspired by the aromatic complexity of the essential oil extracted from the sassafras plant.
Sassafras is a blend of heavy and light rums distilled in a Coffey Still, a continuous still, and a Copper Double Retort Pot Still, a double retort copper still, which come together in perfect aromatic balance.
The rum is then aged for 3 years in ex-bourbon casks and a further 11 years in ex-cognac casks. This ageing offers distinctive notes of vanilla and oak on the palate and lingers long in the mouth, leaving pleasant notes of caramel, vanilla and spice. It was aged exclusively at the Foursquare distillery in Barbados.
The bottles were bottled at 61 % alcohol. The bottles come in gift boxes. Each bite is bottled with no added sugar, colourings or flavourings.
