Distilia & Iconic Bar 1802 Join Forces for an Exclusive Foursquare Release

After the great collab with Bar Lamp Tokyo - Clarendon 1995 - we continue our journey through the world’s most iconic rum bars.

Meet Foursquare 2006/2025 - Distilia for Bar 1802:

an 18-year-old single cask rum from Barbados, distilled at Foursquare in 2006 and matured for 14 years in the tropics before reaching its full expression at 59.7% cask strength.

This edition embodies everything that defines the Distilia for TOP Bars series: authenticity, precision in selection, and meaningful collaboration with institutions that shape modern rum culture. If Tokyo marked the beginning, Paris raises the bar.

Personally selected by Christopher Bellail, the visionary behind the iconic Bar 1802 at Hotel Monte Cristo, this bottling captures the essence of place - where Barbadian terroir meets Parisian refinement.

Drawn from Single Cask #38, bottled with no additives and no compromises, it delivers structure, depth, and unmistakable Foursquare character -powerful, layered, yet elegantly composed.

Long tropical-aged Foursquare single casks are becoming increasingly rare. Bottlings created exclusively with legendary bars are rarer still.

For collectors, rum enthusiasts, and those who appreciate collaborations rooted in real culture - this is a bottle worth securing.

Jean-Luc Pasquet 1985, The second chapter of The Virtues series

After the resounding success of The Virtues, Charity - the Savanna rhum agricole that disappeared almost instantly and earned outstanding acclaim - we return with the second chapter of our heavenly series.

The Virtues - Kindness:
a 40yo Cognac from Jean-Luc Pasquet, distilled in 1985 in the heart of Petite Champagne and matured patiently for four decades in a wide-grain Limousin oak cask.

Kindness embodies everything that made Charity such a defining release: purity of spirit, absolute integrity in selection, and storytelling rooted in timeless values rather than trends. If Charity set the tone, Kindness deepens the voice.

This exceptional Cognac was bottled at natural cask strength 50.36%, no additives, preserving its full aromatic clarity and silky texture. The result is a spirit of remarkable balance and grace - complex, expressive, yet effortlessly inviting.

Already praised by leading spirits reviewers including Whiskyfun, Le Blog a Roger, and The Jack Drop, Kindness confirms that The Virtues series is not a moment, but a direction.

A Legendary Long Pond ’83 & Enmore ’85 Return in a New Masterpiece - Sketches of the Past

Discover Sketches of the Past, an exclusive two-bottle collection celebrating the legacy of Count Wacław Rzewuski. Known as the Golden-Bearded Emir, his 19th-century Arabian expeditions left behind a treasure of legendary horse sketches, which now adorn these limited-edition bottles to capture a spirit of elegance and noble lineage.

The collection brings together two remarkable, cask-strength single cask rums:

  • Long Pond 1983 (38 yo, Jamaica)
  • Enmore 1985 (36 yo, Guyana)

Unblended and strictly limited, these bottles offer a rare opportunity to experience the oldest, most character-driven spirits from these iconic distilleries. Rich, layered, and unapologetically bold, Sketches of the Past is where rum becomes legend.
