What is Foursquare Exceptional Cask Selection Mark XXV Equipoise?
Foursquare Exceptional Cask Selection Mark XXV Equipoise is a unique blend of pot and column still rums, aged for 14 years in ex-bourbon and ex-Madeira casks, creating a harmonious balance of flavors. Interestingly, this rum was named 'Equipoise' as a nod to its perfect equilibrium, mirroring the term used in dressage where a horse maintains perfect balance between its hindquarters and forehand – a fitting metaphor for the rum's exquisite balance between its various components.
Why do we love Foursquare Exceptional Cask Selection Mark XXV Equipoise?
Cocktail aficionados should seek out Foursquare Exceptional Cask Selection Mark XXV Equipoise for its innovative blend of pot and column still rums aged in three distinct cask types: ex-bourbon, ex-cognac, and ex-madeira. This limited release showcases master blender Richard Seale's artistry, balancing the richness of 14-year-old rum with the complexity imparted by its unique triple-cask maturation process, resulting in a spirit that's both luxurious and thought-provoking in cocktails.
How do you drink Foursquare Exceptional Cask Selection Mark XXV Equipoise?
Foursquare Exceptional Cask Selection Mark XXV Equipoise shines when sipped neat or with a single large ice cube, allowing its complex flavors to unfold gradually on the palate. This luxurious rum is perfect for savoring on cool autumn evenings, paired with rich desserts like dark chocolate truffles or crème brûlée, though it also makes an excellent base for sophisticated rum-forward cocktails when you're in the mood for something more adventurous.

Nose: Rich vanilla and caramel open up, followed by ripe tropical fruits like mango and pineapple. Oak spices emerge, bringing cinnamon and nutmeg. A hint of leather and tobacco leaf adds complexity.
Palate: Full-bodied and smooth. Dried fruits and baking spices dominate initially, with raisins, dates, and allspice. The sweetness is balanced by a subtle tannic quality. Notes of toasted almonds, dark chocolate, and orange peel develop as it opens up.
Finish: Long and warming. The oak influence becomes more prominent, with a pleasant dryness. Lingering notes of honey, black pepper, and a touch of coffee. The sweetness gradually fades, leaving a satisfying spicy warmth.
