Foursquare Rum Distillery, owned by the Seale family, has been making rum on the Caribbean island of Barbados since 1996. This 16-year-old bottling makes a welcome addition to our Cadenhead’s Dated Distillation range. In the small town of Saint Philip, it is distilled at Foursquare Distillery using an elaborate process in pot stills and column stills. It was matured for 14 years in a mix of ex-bourbon casks and Madeira casks from Portugal. The result is a Barbados rum with  notes of fresh apples, exotic fruits, and toffee. natural, with no additives,  no sugar or colouring, no chill filtration

Foursquare Distillery, owned by the Seale family, can trace its roots in Barbados back to the 1650s and look back on five generations of rum-making. However, the founding of the Foursquare brand came much later. While the family could lay claim to one of the oldest trading houses in Barbados, Reginald Leon Seale, like other merchants, was forbidden by the Barbados consumer law from selling rum directly to consumers. His solution was to establish a distribution company in Bridgetown in the early 1900s - and that was the birth of the R. L. Seale brand. R. L. Seale was not the only merchant to adopt this approach, but he was one of the few successful ones. This prosperity created the opportunity for expansion, and from 1962 to 1993, the rum portfolios of ESA Field and Alleyne Arthur, including Old Brigand, Taylor's Falernum, and D oorly's, were acquired. To consolidate the various brands effectively, it was decided that ESA Field and Old Brigand would focus on the local market, where they had always performed well, while D oorly's would become an export brand. This remained the case until 1995, when under the leadership of Sir David Seale at the time, the company bet on purchasing a sugar factory whose oldest building dates back to 1636 and had largely fallen into disrepair. However, his intuition paid off, and this site became Foursquare Distillery. Today, it is regarded as one of the most efficient and modern rum distilleries of all, complete with a state-of-the-art bottling plant on site. The distillery has a three-column still, which it uses for lighter rums, and a modern pot still, which is used for heavier rums. Distillation is done from fermented molasses in small batches (usually 112 barrels) and then tropical ageing follows. The rums are matured in small American white oak ex-bourbon casks in huge open warehouses, most of which come from an unnamed (but famous) distillery in Lynchburg, Tennessee.
