Exceptional Cask Series, 'Equipoise'

• Limited release single blended aged rum produced by Foursquare Distillery in Barbados
• Distilled from molasses by Master Distiller & Master Blender, Richard Seale
• Blend of two 14-year-old double retort pot still and twin column Coffey still single blended rums; the first aged 5 years in ex-bourbon barrels and 9 years in ex-Cognac casks, the second aged 12 years in ex-bourbon barrels and 2 years in ex-Camus Cognac casks
• Aromas of toasted banana chips, caramelized pineapple, pipe tobacco, and leather precede a rich palate displaying chocolate-covered figs, blackberry pie, and caramel with grilled peaches, pineapple, and toasted coconut on a familiar Foursquare finish
• No added sugar, coloring, or other additives
• Non-chill filtered; 61% ABV

Amongst the most coveted rums in the world, each release of the Exceptional Cask Series aims to achieve balance relative to a desired profile, resulting in distinct vintages. This release, Mark XXII, is named Touchstone—a litmus for quality, excellence, and authenticity—and displays extraordinary refinement from double maturation in Cognac casks.
