The Distillery

The Foursquare Distillery in Barbados is a renowned and respected name in the world of rum, known for its unwavering commitment to producing high-quality spirits. Established in 1996 by Richard Seale, a fifth-generation rum distiller, Foursquare has quickly gained a reputation for its exceptional rums and adherence to traditional production methods.

Foursquare rums are known for their versatility, as they are produced in a variety of styles, from aged and blended rums to single-cask expressions. The rums are aged in a tropical climate, which accelerates the aging process and imparts unique flavors and aromas to the spirits. This distinct aging process, along with the use of Barbados' high-quality sugarcane and natural spring water, contributes to the signature taste of Foursquare rums.

Foursquare Distillery has also gained recognition for its innovative approach to rum production. The distillery has experimented with various barrel finishes, including sherry, port, and Madeira casks, resulting in unique flavor profiles that push the boundaries of traditional rum-making. These innovative expressions have garnered critical acclaim and have become sought-after among collectors and connoisseurs alike.

In addition to its commitment to craftsmanship and innovation, Foursquare Distillery also plays a significant role in preserving Barbados' rum-making heritage. The distillery collaborates with local farmers, cooperages, and other artisans to support the local community and promote sustainable rum production practices.
