Foursquare Sagacity

sagacity noun the quality of being sagacious sagacious adjective 1a: of keen and farsighted penetration and judgment : DISCERNING sagacious judge of character I have to say; there is nothing I look forward to more than a new release of the Exceptional Cask Selection series from Foursquare Rum Distillery in Barbados.

TRES HOMBRES BARBADOS 2018
