The Penultimus — Mark XXX in the celebrated Exceptional Cask Selection series — broke new ground as the first Foursquare release to use Spanish Moscatel casks in the maturation process. A blend of pot and column still rums, aged in bourbon American oak casks for over ten years before a five-year finish in Moscatel wine casks, the result is a rum of remarkable complexity: the classic Foursquare structure and depth enriched by the honeyed, dried fruit sweetness of one of Spain's most distinguished wine casks. Bottled at 57% ABV with no added sugar, no colouring, and no chill filtration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Foursquare Rum Distillery\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Barbados\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStill Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blend of pot still and column still rums\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaturation:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10+ years in bourbon American oak casks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 years in Spanish Moscatel wine casks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 57% (Natural Strength)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVolume:\u003c\/strong\u003e 70cl\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Exceptional Cask Selection — Mark XXX (13th release)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFirst Foursquare release to use Moscatel cask finishing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNo added sugar | No colouring | No chill filtration\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich tropical fruit and roasted vanilla lead, with dried fig, honey, and a lifted orange blossom note from the Moscatel casks.

Richard Seale has been an outspoken champion of additive-free rum — no added sugar, no artificial flavouring, no shortcuts. The Exceptional Cask Selection series has been the purest expression of that philosophy across more than thirty releases: single distillery, naturally matured, bottled at full strength. The Penultimus represents a pivotal evolution in the series — introducing a new cask type that opens an entirely new dimension of flavour while maintaining the absolute integrity the range is known for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFoursquare collectors building out the full Exceptional Cask Selection series\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRum enthusiasts seeking innovation within the world's most principled rum range\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWhisky drinkers exploring premium aged rum with wine cask influence\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eA premium gift for any serious spirits enthusiast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDelivery \u0026amp; Authenticity\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery bottle sold by Whiskys.co.uk is 100% authentic and sourced through verified, trusted channels.
