Foursquare Rum

Foursquare is the rum world's answer to a distillery run by an obsessive chemist rather than a marketing department. Richard Seale refuses to add sugar or colouring to a single bottle, and the result has become so respected that Foursquare is now mentioned in the same breath as whisky's most celebrated names.

  • RomDeLuxe Collectors Series Rum 10 Barbados rum bottle
    Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197280234

    19 years in a colder, continental climate have given this Foursquare rum a gentler, milder character than one usually associates with Barbados's tropical heat.

    Expert Description

    RomDeLuxe Collectors Series Rum #10 Barbados is a Barbados Rum, distilled at the Foursquare distillery in 2002 and aged 19 years, bottled at 50.7%.

    The rum is distilled from molasses on both pot and column stills and has spent most of its ageing in a continental climate rather than Barbados's tropical heat. This gives the bottle a lighter, golden colour and a gentler, milder character than most other RomDeLuxe releases from Foursquare, where tropical ageing typically creates a darker, more intense profile. Only 214 bottles were drawn from this 19-year-old single cask.

    The result is an elegant, approachable rum where Foursquare's classic coconut and vanilla character appears in an unusually gentle guise.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Gentle coconut and vanilla with a hint of chocolate and fine wood notes.

    Palate

    Mild and round with the same coconut and vanilla character as on the nose, supported by light spices.

    Finish

    Softly concluding with fine wood notes and persistent chocolate.

  • Foursquare Plenipotenziario 12 Year Single Blended rum bottle Velier
    Item no.: 22227865479-1106-19658

    The name means "plenipotentiary", a title Velier gave this edition to signal that it was given free rein to represent Foursquare's full stylistic range in a single bottle.

    Expert Description

    Foursquare Plenipotenziario 12 Year is a Barbados Rum, a Single Blended Rum aged 12 years in ex-bourbon casks in the tropics and bottled at 60%.

    The rum comes from Foursquare Distillery in Barbados under Richard Seale's leadership and was created in collaboration with the Italian rum enthusiast Luca Gargano of Velier. The term "Single Blended Rum" refers to the rum being a blend of batch and continuously distilled rum from the same distillery, a style unique to Foursquare and distinct from both pure single cask and multi-distillery blends. The 12 years of ageing in Barbados' tropical climate have given the rum significant intensity and depth.

    At the high strength of 60%, the rum's full complexity appears without dilution, where both sweetness and spice come through strongly.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Vanilla, caramel and coconut flesh, with ripe mango, milk chocolate and a hint of sea salt and tobacco.

    Palate

    Vanilla, dark cherries, honey and orange, with cardamom and a hint of cigar smoke.

    Finish

    Sharp with orange zest, burnt sugar and earthy cask tones.

  • Foursquare Sassafras 14 Year Single Blended Rum Barbados bottle
    Item no.: 22227865479-2021-03-0011

    Named after an aromatic plant that grows wild on Barbados, this Foursquare release unites two distillation styles in one bottle, three years in bourbon casks followed by eleven years in cognac casks.

    Expert Description

    Foursquare Sassafras 14 Year Single Blended Rum Barbados is a Barbados Rum, a single blended rum aged 14 years, bottled at cask strength 61%.

    The rum was created in collaboration with Italian bottler Velier and combines distillate from Foursquare's traditional double coffey column still with distillate from copper retort pot stills, a technique that defines the "single blended" style. The blend first matured for 3 years in ex-bourbon casks before spending a further 11 years in ex-cognac casks, giving the rum unusual depth. Only 6,000 bottles were released in November 2020. The name Sassafras refers to an aromatic plant common on Barbados, chosen by Richard Seale to reflect the rum's characteristic aromas.

    The result is a full-bodied, complex rum where the elegance of cognac casks meets Foursquare's classic, robust character.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Rich and complex with caramel, dried fruit and an elegant note from the cognac cask influence.

    Palate

    Full-bodied and powerful with spice, dried fruit and a fine, persistent wood depth.

    Finish

    Long and warming with persistent spice and an elegant, dry conclusion.

  • R.L. Seale's Foursquare 10 Year Export Proof Barbados Rum bottle
    Item no.: 22227865449-9509

    Red label, higher strength. When Foursquare raised R.L. Seale's classic 10 Year Old from 43% to 46%, an already respected Barbados rum grew even more intense without losing its nutty balance.

    Expert Description

    R.L. Seale's Foursquare 10 Year Export Proof is a Barbados Rum aged at least ten years in ex-bourbon casks and bottled at 46%.

    The rum is produced at Foursquare Distillery in Barbados under the leadership of Richard Seale, one of the modern rum industry's most respected voices, known for his insistence on full transparency around ingredients and maturation methods. R.L. Seale's Finest Barbados Rum is a blend of pot still and column distilled rums, both of which have rested at least ten years in previously used bourbon casks before being blended into the finished Export Proof edition.

    The higher strength of 46%, an upgrade from the previous 43% edition, gives the rum more body and intensity, without compromising the classic Foursquare style's elegant balance between pot still weight and column distillate purity.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Nutty with fig and a hint of floral spice.

    Palate

    Butternut squash and light vanilla meet dried fruit in a round, full-bodied palate.

  • RomDeLuxe Collectors Series Rum 13 Barbados Single Cask rum bottle
    Item no.: 22227865479-1106-1972798203254

    The Foursquare distillery in Barbados delivers another cask to RomDeLuxe's Collectors Series, this time matured in a cask that previously held Scotch single malt whisky.

    Expert Description

    RomDeLuxe Collectors Series Rum #13 Barbados Single Cask is a Barbados Rum, bottled from a single cask by the Danish bottler RomDeLuxe, distilled in April 2007 at the Foursquare distillery and aged 15 years in an ex-whisky cask, bottled at 60.7%.

    The rum carries the mark MBFSWM and comes from the Foursquare distillery under the supervision of Richard Seale and his team, known for their traditional approach without added sugar or colouring. After distillation, the rum was laid down in a cask that had previously held Scotch single malt whisky, giving it a different character than the classic bourbon and sherry casks usually seen from Barbados. Only 281 bottles were filled in September 2022.

    The result is a powerful, cask-strength rum where Barbados' classic balance meets a distinct whisky cask character.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Caramel, toasted oak and a pronounced whisky cask spiciness, with a hint of dried fruit.

    Palate

    Powerful and spiced with brown sugar, malt and a distinct oak tannin fullness.

    Finish

    Long and warm with lingering spice and a dry, malty close.

    Expert Description

    RomDeLuxe Collectors Series Rum #14 Barbados Single Cask is a Barbados Rum, distilled at the Foursquare distillery in 2005 and aged 17 years in a single cask, bottled at 57.9%.

    Veritas is Velier's answer to a question many bars keep asking: can a white rum stay true to style and still be easy to work with?

    Expert description

    Veritas White Blended Rum is a Blended Rum composed of three distillates and bottled at 47%.

    The rum is a blend of coffey still distillate from Foursquare Distillery in Barbados, pot still distillate from the same distillery matured 2 years in ex-bourbon casks, and unaged pot still distillate from Hampden Estate in Jamaica. All three components are distilled, matured, blended and bottled in the Caribbean with no added sugar, flavouring or neutral spirit, making Veritas a white rum with real character rather than a neutral base spirit.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Fresh with ice cream soda sweetness and a clean, grassy undertone, plus buttercream, banana cream, golden apples and dried pineapple.

    Palate

    Fresh and intensely fruity with whipped cream underneath, freshly sliced pineapple, overripe bananas and pears, combined with a hint of liquorice and spiced wood.

    Clean and dry with a light funky finish from the Hampden component, balanced by Foursquare's softer character.

About Foursquare Rum

Foursquare Distillery is located on Barbados on the site of a former sugar factory and is run by Richard Seale, one of the rum industry's most outspoken advocates for transparency and quality without shortcuts. The distillery blends distillate from both pot and column stills and matures it in a combination of bourbon and sherry casks, always without added sugar, colouring or other additives, which has made the brand a favourite among critics and bartenders worldwide. Collectors rank the Exceptional Cask Selection series, with releases like Sagacity and 2004, among the most sought-after rums in the world, while newcomers meet a clean, craft-driven style far removed from sweetened, commercial rum.

History & Background

The Seale family has run sugar and rum production on Barbados since 1926, but the modern Foursquare distillery was founded by Richard Seale on the site of a closed sugar factory, where he invested in both pot and column stills to create a broad spectrum of rum styles under one roof. Seale is known in the industry for being a driving force behind the creation of Barbados' official "Barbados Rum" appellation in 2020, a legal protection banning additives he had long argued against. This uncompromising stance has made Foursquare one of the most cited examples of how a small Caribbean distillery can set the agenda for an entire industry.

History & Background

R.L. Seale & Co. was founded in 1926 by Reginald Leon Seale as a rum trader and bottler, but it was not until 1996 that Foursquare Rum Distillery began distilling on the former Foursquare sugar factory site, established by David Seale in 1995. The site itself dates back to around 1730, when a molasses factory was built there, and the first distillery followed in 1737.

Production & Style

Richard Seale is a prominent advocate for unadulterated Barbados rum without additives and, together with Mount Gay and St Nicholas Abbey, has helped establish a geographically protected designation for Barbados rum.

Signature Style

Full-Bodied, Clean, Complex
The flavour offers an authentic, unblended rum character with no added sweetness, and deep complexity from cask ageing.
