Foursquare Rum limited releases

In recent years Rum has become one of the hottest and most exciting spirit categories around. As people began to appreciate how complex and layered older Rums can be, enough to rival top malt Whiskies and old Cognacs in many eyes, some distilleries have shown an ability to consistently produce amazing quality. Foursquare Distillery is certainly one of those.

Based in Barbados and now operated by Richard Seale, the 5th generation to be involved in Rum Distilling on the Island, Foursquare has developed a reputation for quality and collectibility and its ‘Exceptional Cask Selection’ offers a range of different rums from different barrel finishes. All personally selected by Richard Seale and all one off limited releases.

We are delighted to offer a small parcel of Foursquare for sale on a first come first served basis. Just 3 bottles of each are available. Each limited to just one bottle per customer.
