Foursquare ECS 12 Year 2011

Here we have another bottling of rum from the Foursquare exceptional cask series. This rum was distilled from molasses in 2011 from both the pot and column stills. It was then aged in Barbados for 12 years in ex-bourbon casks before being bottled at high proof with no additives.
