Distillery
Situated in Barbados’ south-eastern parish of Saint Philip, the Foursquare Rum Distillery finds its home on the grounds of an old sugar plantation dating back to around 1720. In 1996, the Seale family took the initiative to reopen the distillery, with Richard Seale, the 4th Generation Blender & Distiller of R.L. Seale & Co., currently overseeing the distilling operations and blending. Over the past decade, Foursquare has become one of the world’s most revered and sought after rum producers.
Wonderful bouquet of freshly baked bread, complemented by notes of creamy butter and sun-dried fruits.
Delightful array of tropical fruits such as ripe banana, mango, and lemon, accompanied by subtle spicy hints of nutmeg and cinnamon. The finish is remarkably long, smooth, and harmonious, reiterating the elegant blend of fruity and spicy flavours
