Description

An indispensable rum, this brilliant Bajan bottling effortlessly combines molasses sweetness with Sherry cask spice. Touches of marmalade, cinnamon and herbal teas enervate the nose, while the palate is pure satisfaction – rounded and rich, with unctuous fruit. When the day’s labours are concluded, I’d suggest settling in for an evening with this rum, a comforting film that you’ve seen too many times before, and a generous supply of your favourite dried fruits.

About this SPIRIT

Foursquare Rum Distillery

Foursquare Rum Distillery

The Seale family, owners of the Foursquare Distillery on Barbados, has at least five generations of rum-making expertise behind it. The distillery itself was mostly dilapidated until 1996, when it was purchased by David Seale and heavily invested in; the site now boasts a state-of-the-art bottling plant and is seen as one of the most modern and efficient distilleries in the region.

Now, under the stewardship of Richard Seale, Foursquare rums go from strength to strength. Unlike many other rums that use additional sugar and flavourings to promote an illusion of quality, Seale is intensely opposed to such practices, preferring artisanal methods and patience in making the rich styles of rum found at Foursquare.

Foursquare’s annual releases are widely sought after for their incredible breadth and complexity. Richard Seale was the first rum producer in history to win the prestigious ‘Distiller of the Year’ award in 2021 and is widely revered for his category leading expertise and talent. We’ve recently been lucky enough to secure a private cask from Foursquare, a project that has been many years in the making. A rare occurrence, the Seales choose carefully who to partner with for these bottlings to ensure they remain a coveted bottle to own.

As well as Foursquare, other well-known brands produced here include Doorly’s and R.L Seales.
