Foursquare Equidem 2024 - Barbados Rum - Muscat Cask Strength - 61% 70cl
Foursquare Equidem 2024 Barbados Rum Muscat Cask Strength 61%
The Foursquare Equidem 2024 is a stunning release within the acclaimed Exceptional Cask Selection series, crafted at the world-renowned Foursquare Distillery in Barbados. Staying true to the house style of balance, authenticity, and complexity, this limited edition showcases a remarkable double maturation journey.
Distilled in both the copper Double-Retort Pot Still and the Continuous Twin Column Coffey Still, Equidem combines richness and precision. It was first matured in Ex-Bourbon barrels for 5 years, before being transferred to Ex-Black Muscat wine casks for an additional 9 years. The influence of Muscat brings a vibrant fruit character, interwoven with the classic depth and elegance for which Foursquare is celebrated.
Aged, blended, and bottled entirely on-site in Barbados, this cask strength bottling comes in at a bold 61% ABV (122 Proof), offering intensity without sacrificing harmony. As with all Exceptional Cask Selections, Equidem 2024 is a one-of-a-kind release, only available in limited quantities, and selected by Richard Seale, the visionary Master Blender of Foursquare.
