750 ml, 53.5% ABV (107 Proof), this is a blend of whiskies finished in FourSquare rum barrels
#9 on Whiskey Advocate’s Top 20 Whiskies of 2023
“This whiskey from Bardstown leaps out of the glass with cocoa nibs, chocolate croissant, cigar box, and banana split aromas. The blend of 7 year old Indiana rye and 17 year old Tennessee bourbon is finished in rum barrels for nearly 2 years, imparting flavors of syrupy fruits, fig jam, overripe bananas, and cherry cola. While the nose is assertive, the palate is more subdued, allowing delicate flavors of leather, cherry cordial, and berry smoothie to shine. The finish is long and rich, with chocolate malt, cinnamon candies, and toffee, fading to charred oak and maple syrup. —Shane English” 94 Points
“Like Bardstown Bourbon Company, Foursquare is defined by innovation and transparency throughout their production process. Enjoy this custom blend of 7 yr rye and 17 yr bourbon, designed to beautifully accentuate Barbados flavor, aged for 23 months in Foursquare rum barrels.
TASTING NOTES
Plantain, toasted almond, and clove meld with coconut, peanut, orange zest, and raisin. A vibrant palate balances rye spice with aged oak, leading to an enveloping, complex finish of baked fruit, lingering spice, and caramel sweetness.”
