Foursquare Convocation Exceptional Cask Selection XXVIII Barbados Vintage 2010 Single Blended 14Y 62% 70cl

This exceptional Foursquare Convocation is a decadent journey into the heart of Barbados. Far more than a traditional aged rum, it is a striking fusion of tropical intensity, meticulous maturation, and a world-class finish. Distilled in 2010 and aged for an impressive 14 long years entirely under the blistering Caribbean sun, this 28th release in the legendary Exceptional Cask Selection (ECS) is the rum that, as they say, "pushes the limit just a bit too far!"

Created with an uncompromising focus on texture and gourmandise, this Single Blended Rum masterpiece transforms a classic pot and column still blend into a rich, liquid dessert. It is a bold statement of craftsmanship, perfect for those who seek a rum that is as thick and generous as a chocolate fondant.

A Masterclass in Refinement

Every bottle of the Convocation embodies the art of patient aging and unadulterated purity. The character of this rum was forged through a precise technical process:

  • Tropical Concentration: 14 full years of rapid, intense tropical maturation in Barbados, providing a sturdy backbone of deep structure, oak tannins, and unparalleled complexity.

  • Artisanal Blending: A sophisticated marriage of heavy copper pot still and twin-column still distillates, allowing the natural sweetness of the molasses and the rich wood to intertwine seamlessly.

  • Pure Cask Strength: Bottled at a roaring, majestic 62% ABV—entirely unchill-filtered, uncoloured, and without a single grain of added sugar, preserving every ounce of its oily texture and heavy density.

Tasting Experience

Inside the bottle lies a profile so rich and velvety that it feels like Christmas in a glass.

  • Nose: For the caramel and dark chocolate lovers! You are immediately immersed in a bath of dark caramel, rich molasses, and dried figs—thick, greasy, and flowing. It evokes the scent of a buttery chocolate fondant fresh from the oven, topped with roasted nuts. Then, a "diva" makes her entrance: toasted oak, smooth vanilla, and complex baking spices. This is followed by layers of gingerbread, cinnamon, and a comforting touch of subtle cocoa.

  • Palate: Pure indulgence. The term "fondant" was no exaggeration; the rum literally melts on the palate with generous layers of toffee, dark chocolate, and a near-sorbet-like freshness of dried fruits. The density and "fat" are remarkable, offering notes of orangettes, warming clove, oven-warm gingerbread, and a creamy tiramisu beautifully integrated with the formidable 62% strength.

  • Finish: Long, warm, and incredibly commanding. The texture clings to the palate, leaving a sophisticated, lingering conclusion of oak spice, rich caramelised notes, and elegant wood tones that invite you back for another sip just for the sheer pleasure of it.
