Foursquare Exceptional Cask Selection Mark XXVII Equidem in a Nutshell

Okay, Foursquare fans, let's talk Equidem, their Mark XXVII Exceptional Cask Selection. What sets this one apart in the world of craft spirits is its significant nine-year finishing in ex-Black Muscat wine casks, following an initial five years in ex-bourbon. This extended dual maturation imparts a distinct dark fruit and almost savory complexity – think salted caramel or even a hint of miso – to the classic Foursquare profile, something Anders Erickson would appreciate for its cocktail ingredient potential. It’s a thoughtful evolution for your home bar, especially if you enjoy exploring how different finishing casks influence a spirit's final character; this Bitter Bear spirits offering is a prime example of that art.

Anders' Take on Foursquare Exceptional Cask Selection Mark XXVII Equidem

"Foursquare Equidem is great example of Barbados rum. The rich molasses, the cask influence, and the balance make it incredible neat. It’s a standout in the Exceptional Cask Selection."

Where is Foursquare Exceptional Cask Selection Mark XXVII Equidem from?
