What is Foursquare Exceptional Cask Selection Mark XXII Touchstone?
Foursquare Exceptional Cask Selection Mark XXII Touchstone is a masterful blend of pot and column still rums, aged for 15 years in ex-bourbon casks before being finished in ex-Madeira wine casks. What makes this rum truly unique is that it's one of the few rums in the world to receive a perfect 100-point score from the Whisky Advocate, placing it in the rarefied company of some of the world's most prestigious whiskies.
Why do we love Foursquare Exceptional Cask Selection Mark XXII Touchstone?
Foursquare Exceptional Cask Selection Mark XXII Touchstone stands out as a masterclass in rum blending, combining 16-year-old pot and column still rums aged in ex-bourbon and ex-Madeira casks. This limited edition release showcases Richard Seale's expertise, offering a complex profile with notes of tropical fruit, dark chocolate, and spice, all while maintaining Foursquare's signature balanced approach without added sugar or flavorings.
How do you drink Foursquare Exceptional Cask Selection Mark XXII Touchstone?
Foursquare Exceptional Cask Selection Mark XXII Touchstone shines brightest when sipped neat or with a single large ice cube, allowing its complex flavors to unfold gradually on the palate. This sophisticated rum is perfect for cooler autumn evenings, paired with rich desserts like dark chocolate truffles or bread pudding, though it's equally at home in spirit-forward cocktails that showcase its depth and character.

Nose: Rich caramel and vanilla notes lead, followed by ripe tropical fruits like mango and pineapple. Oak spice and a hint of leather add complexity. A subtle nutmeg and cinnamon aroma lingers in the background.
Palate: Smooth and full-bodied. Toffee and dark chocolate flavors mingle with dried fruits, particularly raisins and figs. The oak influence is evident, bringing in warm baking spices and a touch of tobacco. A slight nuttiness reminiscent of toasted almonds appears mid-palate.
Finish: Long and warming. The sweetness fades, giving way to drier notes of cocoa powder and espresso. A pleasant peppery spice builds, accompanied by lingering oak tannins. The finish concludes with a subtle saltiness, reminiscent of salted caramel.
