The Distillery
Foursquare Rum Distillery is tucked away in the southern countryside of Saint Philip, Barbados, on 8 acres of a former sugar plantation and has been producing exceptional, authentic Barbados rum for over 25 years. One of the most respected and admired producers of spirits in the worldand the only family-owned distillery on the islandFoursquare Distillery was established in 1996 by Sir David Seale and is currently operated by his son, Master Distiller and Master Blender, Richard Seale.

R.L. Seale & Co. was formed in 1926 by Reginald Leon Seale as a merchant blender and bottler of rum in Barbados, but it wasnt until 1996 that Foursquare Rum Distillery began distilling in the former Foursquare sugar factory.

Richard Seale, a titan within the rum world and a champion for spirits of integrity, combines traditional Barbados methods of rum production with contemporary technological innovationsfrom strictly controlled fermentation to vacuum distillation. An outspoken advocate for truth and transparency, he produces rums in accordance with the proposed Barbados Rum G.I. that requires distillation, maturation, and bottling be conducted entirely in Barbados, without additives or adulterating substances.

In just 25 years, Foursquare Distillery has grown from a repurposed sugar factory to a national heritage site, folk museum, and one of the greatest operating distilleries in the world. Driven by a belief that rum should take its rightful place as the most prestigious of all spirits, Foursquare does it right.
