Foursquare Convocation ECS Mark XXVIII is a masterclass in Barbadian distillation, representing the pinnacle of the acclaimed Exceptional Cask Selection series. Aged for 14 years in the tropical heat of St. Philip, this singular blended rum is a meticulous marriage of two distinct spirits: one matured entirely in ex-bourbon barrels and the other in rare ex-Madeira casks. Bottled at a formidable cask strength of 62% ABV without added sugar, coloring, or chill-filtration, Convocation offers an unfiltered exploration of dual-cask mastery. It presents a sophisticated aromatic profile of toasted coconut, bergamot, and rich pipe tobacco, leading into a dense, velvety palate of caramelized grapefruit peel, roasted macadamia nuts, and blackberry cobbler. Designed for the discerning connoisseur, this limited-release expression balances power with remarkable poise, delivering a chewy, indulgent mouthfeel reminiscent of salted caramel and fine toffee. The influence of the Madeira casks imparts an exquisite oxidative depth, punctuated by notes of cocoa and lingering baking spices that transition into a long, elegant finish of dark chocolate and dried tropical fruits. Whether savored neat in a tulip glass or opened with a few drops of limestone-filtered water, Foursquare Convocation stands as a testament to the artistry of master blender Richard Seale. It is an essential acquisition for any serious collection, offering a profound and evolving tasting experience that captures the authentic soul of Barbados.
