RumX Guide

Foursquare, explained

What is the Foursquare Exceptional Cask Selection?

The Exceptional Cask Selection (ECS) is Foursquare's series of limited single blends finished in casks such as port, madeira or sherry and bottled at cask strength with full transparency, and it turned Foursquare into a collector phenomenon. The series ran from 2008 to 2026, and Mark XXXI "Epilogue" is reported as the last release. Collectors look out for releases like Criterion, Plenipotenziario and Détente, and two releases of the series were named Supreme Champion Spirit at the International Spirits Challenge, in 2018 and 2021.

Which rums does Foursquare make?

Besides the Exceptional Cask Selection, Foursquare makes Doorly's, R.L. Seale's, Old Brigand and The Real McCoy, which is made entirely at Foursquare too. Not every Foursquare is allocation-only: the Doorly's range (3, 12 and 14 Year, plus cask finishes) and R.L. Seale's 10 deliver the same craft for everyday drinking. At the other end sit cask-strength single blends such as Destino and Absolutio.

Who owns Foursquare?

Foursquare is family-owned by R.L. Seale & Co., with Richard Seale as master distiller. The distillery is young, but the Seale family has been in Barbados rum since R.L. Seale & Co. opened in 1926. For four generations they were blenders: buying, ageing and marrying rum. When Sir David Seale bought the dormant Foursquare sugar factory in 1995 and rebuilt it into a distillery that started up in 1996, those seven decades of blending knowledge came with it. That is Foursquare's quiet edge.

How is Foursquare rum made?

Almost every Foursquare is a blend of pot-still and column-still rum, married before ageing so the flavours grow together as they mature. Master distiller Richard Seale is rum's most outspoken purist, and to him that balance is the Barbados style: he has spent a career defending it, with no shortcuts.
