Foursquare Magisterium 16Y old Bourbon / Sherry Cask 58% 70cl

This exceptional Foursquare Magisterium 16Y Old is a decadent journey into the heart of Barbados. Far more than a traditional aged rum, it is a striking fusion of tropical intensity, decades of meticulous maturation, and a world-class finish. Distilled at the prestigious Foursquare Distillery, this release is the rum that, as they say, "pushes the limit just a bit too far!" to establish a new benchmark of master-level blending and pure sherry cask harmony.

Created with an uncompromising focus on texture and gourmandise, this 16-year-old masterpiece transforms a classic Barbados spirit into a rich, liquid dessert. It is a bold statement of craftsmanship, perfect for those who seek a rum that is as thick, generous, and complex as a Black Forest gateau.

A Masterclass in Refinement

Every bottle of Magisterium embodies the art of patient aging and innovative dual-cask finishing. The majestic character of this rum was forged through a precise technical process directed by master blender Richard Seale:

  • Dual Distillation Mastery: A flawless Single Blended Rum combining rich, heavy spirit from the copper Double-Retort Pot Still and precise spirit from the Continuous Twin Column Coffey Still.

  • The 16-Year Triple Alliance: A highly complex blend of three distinct 16-year-old rums: one aged entirely in Ex-Bourbon, one aged 3 years in Bourbon then 13 years in Ex-Oloroso Sherry, and one aged 9 years in Bourbon followed by 7 years in Ex-Oloroso Sherry.

  • 100% Tropical Maturation: Fully aged on-site in Barbados under intense climate conditions, maximizing wood integration and flavor concentration.

  • Unadulterated Integrity: Bottled at a bold cask strength of 58% ABV with absolutely zero added sugars, artificial flavorings, or colorings.

Tasting Experience

Inside the bottle lies a profile so rich and velvety that it feels like an opulent celebration of dark wood and rich fruits in a glass.

  • Nose: For the sherry and wood lovers! You are immediately immersed in an intense, aromatic bath of caramelized orange peel, toasted coconut, and sweet passion fruit—thick, deep, and flowing. Then, a "diva" makes her entrance: premium unlit Maduro cigar notes and rich caramel, beautifully layered with candied almonds and a comforting touch of cedar wood.

  • Palate: Pure indulgence. The terms "rich and full-bodied" understates the reality; the rum literally melts on the palate with a soft, elegant, and savory entry. The density and "fat" are remarkable, offering heavy layers of dark cocoa, orange zest, and toasted marshmallow, balanced by an unexpected, sophisticated hint of fresh blueberry.

  • Finish: Monumentally long, warm, and highly complex. The texture clings beautifully to the palate, leaving a lingering, elegant trail of dry oak char, sweet baking spices, and a lip-smacking fruit richness that invites you back for another sip.
