Foursquare 2008 is one of only two Exceptional Cask Selection vintages to score 8.7 on RumX — the other is the legendary 2004 — and RumShopBoy called it an instant classic. Foursquare is the distillery Fred Minnick dubbed the Pappy of rum: the Seale family’s operation in St. Philip, Barbados, where Richard Seale has led the fight for unadulterated rum — no sugar, no color, no additives, no filtration — and where every drop is distilled, aged, blended, and bottled on the island. Mark XIII “2008” is a Single Blended Rum, pot and Coffey column distillate married before the cask, distilled in 2008, tropically aged twelve years in a combination of first, second, and third-fill ex-bourbon barrels, and bottled at 60% ABV in June 2020 in limited quantities. Rum Revelations, tasting it blind against the 2007, found sweet wood, coconut, raisin, raspberry, vanilla, leather, and tobacco — round, fat, sweet, and bold — and fell in love. Rum Runner Labs: the classic Foursquare one-two of vanilla and oak, then ginger, cinnamon, and allspice, with coffee, caramel, coconut, and a hint of salinity — oaky but never over-oaked, living up to the hype. Memphis Rum Club: orange zest, cherry, dark chocolate, and bitter almond on a fruity, well-balanced finish, a preferred vintage for many fans. RumShopBoy: superb value, top-quality rum, 100% tropically aged, absolutely delicious. Honest note: these vintages sell out and climb on the secondary market; this is the one to open. Neat, with a drop of water, slowly.
