Foursquare 14 Year Old Equipoise Rum - 70cl
Equipoise (“A state of balance”) is the twenty-fifth release in Foursquare’s acclaimed Exceptional Cask Selection (ECS) series. A double-maturation Single Blended Rum, it combines artisanal copper pot still and twin column Coffey still distillates, aged entirely at Foursquare Rum Distillery in Barbados.
This limited expression spent 10 years in ex-Bourbon barrels, followed by 4 years in ex-Calvados casks, showcasing Foursquare’s innovation in pairing classic Barbados structure with French apple-brandy influence. Bottled at 60% ABV (120 proof), Equipoise is non-chill filtered and free from sugar or additives, embodying Richard Seale’s philosophy of authenticity.
Each Exceptional Cask Selection is one of a kind, released only when deemed of outstanding quality. Equipoise (Mark XXV) delivers a rare intersection of balance, intensity, and innovation.
TASTING NOTES
Nose: Chocolate truffles, Maduro cigar, pipe tobacco, with earthy richness lifted by apricot and orange blossom.
Palate: Bold and complex; berries, cacao, caramelised orange, nuttiness, evolving into spice, leather, and a touch of tobacco.
Finish: Long and lingering, balancing fruit brightness with deep, savoury complexity.
ABV 61%
