Hand-selected by Richard Seale himself, Foursquare’s Exceptional Cask Series represents the most unique and coveted rum from this celebrated distillery. Deceptively easy to drink despite its robust proof, Convocation is a blend of two fourteen-year-old rums—one fully matured in ex–bourbon barrels and the other in ex–Madeira casks—brimming with cocoa, tobacco, and caramel and punctuated by bursts of citrus and fresh berries.

Tasting Notes:

Initial Impressions: Deceptively easy to drink - especially at this ABV - with cocoa, tobacco and caramel notes, punctuated by bursting citrus and fruit characteristics. Finishes long and elegant with a rich and full mouthfeel.

Aroma: Core notes of Foursquare Rum - vanilla, toasted coconut, fresh berries, but quickly evolves into rich pipe tobacco, bergamot, and subtle nutty and oxidative characteristics.

Palate: Rich, complex, and robust. Caramelized grapefruit peel, roasted Macadamia nuts, blackberry cobbler, and pineapple undertones give way to a rich and chewy mouthfeel-reminiscent of taffy, and salted caramel. The caramel in particular is rich and deep, leaning into toffee sweetness.
