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.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Enticing aromas of vanilla and orange peel open the bouquet, leading into layers of sweet mandarin, tangerine, and subtle herbal-spice notes.

• Palate: Powerful yet rounded, with savory tones reminiscent of miso and salted caramel. Hints of enoki mushroom, leather, cedar, and honey interplay with a foundation of brown butter, rich toffee, berries, and citrus fruits.

• Finish: Long, layered, and complex, with an intriguing fusion of fruit, spice, and savory richness.

The Equidem 2024 is more than a rum – it’s a statement of craftsmanship, patience, and vision. A true collector’s piece and an unforgettable tasting experience for serious rum enthusiasts.
