Product description
The Foursquare Distillery is located on a former sugar cane plantation on the small island of Barbados, at the eastern end of the Caribbean Sea.
The owners of Foursquare Distillery, the Seale family, cultivated sugar cane as early as the mid-17th century, and since 1820 they have also been involved in the production of rum. The rum factory has been operating in its current location since 1996. At that time, they purchased a defunct, run-down and almost completely ruined distillery, founded in 1636. After renovation and modernization, the plant has three column stills and two stills. Rum is produced there in small batches, exclusively from molasses. The modern plant also includes a bottling line and bonded warehouses. The company is currently headed by Richard Seale, a fourth generation representative of RL Seale & Company.
Foursquare 2009 is a rum described by the producer as a "single blended rum". It is a blend of distillates from the same distillery (single), but distilled both in the rectification column and in pot stills and subjected to blending (hence blended). It was distilled in 2009 and bottled in April 2021. It spent 12 years maturing in bourbon barrels.
