A declaration of intent from one of rum’s most revered distilleries, Foursquare Equidem is the 27th edition in the award-winning Exceptional Cask Selection series. This unapologetically bold expression lives up to its Latin namesake, meaning “truly.”
Distilled from molasses using both copper pot and twin column stills at Foursquare Distillery in Barbados, Equidem exemplifies the hallmark Bajan style. It is a single blended rum, produced entirely without additives, colouring, or chill filtration. For this edition, two distinct rums were brought together in a carefully considered blend. One component was aged for five years in ex-bourbon casks before being transferred for nine additional years in ex–Black Muscat wine casks. The other spent a full fourteen years in ex-bourbon barrels. Aged entirely under tropical conditions and bottled at a commanding 61% ABV, the result is a rum of remarkable depth and intensity.
Equidem is visually striking, noted as the darkest Foursquare release to date. On the nose, the rum opens with warm aromas of aged leather, dark cherry, and pipe tobacco, balanced by gentle notes of toasted coconut, vanilla, oak, and a soft touch of caramel.
The palate is full-bodied and richly textured, delivering layers of black pepper, tannic oak, and bold tobacco. These flavours are supported by creamy milk chocolate and subtle hints of dried fruit. The structure is firm, with a grounded earthiness that adds a brooding elegance. The finish is long and persistent, evolving from spice and leather into a lingering note of ripe plum, cocoa, and dried herbs.
Foursquare Equidem is a complex and contemplative spirit that speaks to the distillery’s unwavering commitment to purity and precision. This is a rum that rewards attention, offering a profile that is as powerful as it is refined. Truly exceptional.
