Foursquare Magisterium

Richard Seale was born to make Rum, this is the legend of one of the most influential Rum producers in the world, great-grandson of Reginal Leon Seal who founded the Foursquare Distillery in 1926 in Barbados, now in its fourth generation. Significant was his battle against the addition of sugars in rum, too often without the knowledge of customers, and on the accuracy of the information on aging on the bottle. Today the Foursquare Distillery produces two main labels: Doorly's and Foursquare. The first is the backbone of the company and historic brand of Barbados Rum, the second expresses all of Richard's creativity and audacity in experimentation, giving life to limited production bottles. Characteristic of the historic brand is the refinement of Rums in different types of barrels that guarantee their personality without ever sacrificing drinkability.

The Foursquare Magisterium is a limited and highly sought-after edition, the Mark XXVI of the renowned Exceptional Cask Selection series of the Foursquare Rum Distillery in Barbados. Led by the legendary Richard Seale, this distillery is renowned for its purist approach to rum making, ensuring that it produces products without added sugar, colouring or other additives. Magisterium is a Single Blended Rum, a clever blend of rums distilled in both the distillery’s copper double retort pot-stills and continuous double column stills. This combination gives the rum a unique complexity, balancing heavier, richer notes with lighter, more refined ones. What makes Magisterium truly exceptional is its lengthy aging of 16 years. This time is spent in a combination of ex-Bourbon and ex-Sherry casks, with some components of the blend having benefited from double maturation (for example, 3 years in ex-Bourbon followed by 13 years in ex-Oloroso Sherry, or 9 years in ex-Bourbon followed by 7 years in ex-Oloroso Sherry, and one component aged entirely in ex-Bourbon). Bottled at a robust 58% alcohol by volume, and without cold filtration, "Magisterium" maintains all its organoleptic qualities and its natural color, offering an authentic and unforgettable experience. It is a rum that rewards patience, inviting a slow and meditative tasting.

Magisterium presents itself with a deep amber color, with mahogany reflections that testify to the long aging and the influence of the Sherry barrels. Its viscosity is remarkable, with slow and consistent tears that fall into the glass. On the nose it is rich, enveloping and extraordinarily complex. The initial notes are of salted caramel, toffee and dark chocolate, which blend with hints of dried fruit such as raisins, dates and dried mango, and banana flakes. Delicate nuances of Seville orange peel, coffee and a touch of toasted coconut emerge. The influence of the Sherry casks adds hints of dark fruits (plums, blackberries) and a balsamic note. This is balanced by an elegant ginger spice and a hint of anise and oak. The palate is incredibly silky, smooth and oily, with an enveloping tactile sensation. The taste is rich and evolving, confirming the olfactory notes of salted caramel, toffee and a creaminess reminiscent of vanilla ice cream. Flavours of dates, raisins and dried pineapple develop, with a more tart nuance of black cherries. The influence of the wood translates into elegant oak notes and a delicate bitterness of dark chocolate. The finish is long and lingering, leaving an aftertaste of pineapple and dried mango, gingerbread, lemon peel and a light sensation of spice. This is a rum that rewards those who take the time to explore it, revealing layers of flavour with every sip.
