Nose

Focused and concentrated with clear aromas of vanilla, coconut and light caramel. Notes of dried banana, orange peel, leather and pronounced yet refined oak follow.

Palate

Dry and powerful with flavours of toffee, toasted oak and creamy vanilla. The structure is firm and almost tannic, layered with spice notes of nutmeg and white pepper and a slight bitter edge that adds tension.

Finish

Long, intense and very dry with lingering oak, spice and a warm, almost classical finish that echoes beautifully.

Foursquare Rum Distillery is one of the most highly regarded rum producers in Barbados. The distillery was opened by the Seale family in 1996 on the site of a former sugar factory. By then, the family had already been active in the rum trade for generations: R.L. Seale & Co. was established in 1926 as a rum blender and bottler. Under Richard Seale, Foursquare developed into a leading producer of authentic Barbados rum.

Foursquare distils from molasses and combines two classic techniques: a copper double retort pot still for richer distillates and a twin column Coffey still for lighter rum. Both styles are produced separately and then used in blends matured in the tropical climate of Barbados. The distillery has become particularly known for transparency and its firm preference for rum without added sugar, colouring or flavouring.

Alongside established brands such as Doorly’s and R.L. Seale, Foursquare enjoys particular acclaim among enthusiasts for its Exceptional Cask Selection. These limited releases explore different ages, cask types and double maturation, helping Foursquare achieve an almost iconic status within the modern rum world.
