- Aged 15 years on-site in Barbados; aged 10 years in ex–bourbon barrels and 5 years in ex–Muscatel barrels
- The nose leads with bright notes of caramelized orange peel and nougat with nutmeg, cinnamon, and allspice before transitioning to a round, punchy palate exploding with citrus, white peach, lychee, and rich, dark fruit

Hand-selected by Richard Seale himself, Foursquare’s Exceptional Cask Series represents the most unique and coveted rum from this celebrated distillery. Penultimus was primarily aged for ten years in ex–bourbon barrels before being re-barreled in Muscatel wine barrels for an additional five years, layering bright citrus and tropical fruit notes over Foursquare’s rich and herbal rum. As the name may imply, this is the penultimate release of the Exceptional Cask Series and is not to be missed!

"Foursquare™s Exceptional Cask Selection series features limited, one-off releases, each highlighting a unique experiment in blending and maturation from the Barbados distillery. Convocation, the 28th entry in the series, is no exception. Convocation blends two 14-year-old rums: one aged fully in ex-bourbon barrels, the other in ex-Madeira casks, before the two batches are married and bottled on site. The influence of fortified wine is unmistakable, adding richness and oxidative complexity to the distillery™s familiar vanilla and coconut core. Expect additional waves of cocoa, candied citrus, and toasted nuts, wrapped in a chewy toffee richness that extends deep onto the finish. A high point in Foursquare™s Exceptional Cask Selection series, Convocation rewards enthusiasts who seek out rum™s most noteworthy releases."
