Foursquare Equidem 14 Year Old Exceptional Cask Selection XXVII Rum

The Exceptional Cask Selection is a small-batch vatting of Foursquare rums using some of the best-performing casks in their portfolio. Equidem Single Blended Rum is the 27th release in Foursquare's acclaimed Exceptional Cask Selection series.
The Equidem 2024 release combines pot and column distilled rum, matured in ex–bourbon barrels and then transferred into ex–Black Muscat wine casks for 9 years before being bottled at 61% ABV.

Equidem won the 2025 IWSC Rum Spirit Trophy (the highest honour for the rum category), earning 98 points.

    Nose:    Lots of treacle Tart on the nose, with juicy sultanas, overripe nectarines and plums. Zesty lemons and clementines with a hint of marzipan, ginger and dried turmeric at the end.

    Taste:    Soft and silky on the palate. A light caramel touch that develops into sweet, jammy summer fruits of peach and more plums.

    Finish:   Astringent black tea with a gingery, peppery, warming lingering finish.
