About Foursquare Rum

Foursquare Rum is produced by R L Seale, one of Barbados’ oldest trading houses, a family-owned business whose involvement in rum-making extends from father to son since 1820. The owner and talented head distiller, Richard Seale, is one of the region’s most innovative distillers and blenders and has a passion for producing perfect rum with great flavour. He also campaigns for clarity in the labelling of rums and produces Doorly’s and R L Seales rums.

Foursquare Distillery

The Foursquare Distillery occupies the site of a former sugar factory that dates back to 1636 and, as one of the most modern and efficient rum distilleries in the world, is designed to be both highly energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. Foursquare rum is made from locally owned and sourced sugar cane converted to molasses, fermented very slowly over 44 hours with South African yeast and then distilled. The rum is a blend of pot still and column still rums. The pot still rum brings complexity and flavour, whilst the column still rum adds balance and aroma.

Foursquare Convocation Single Blended Rum

Foursquare Convocation is labelled as a single-blended rum, which means that it is a blend of double retort pot still and traditional continuous twin column rums from a single distillery.

Blend Composition

Convocation is a blend of three aged rums:

• A 14 Year Old ex-Bourbon cask
• A 14 Year Old ex-Madeira fortified wine cask
• A 14 Year Old dual-maturation which spent four years in ex-Bourbon and 10 Years in ex-Madeira casks

Fully matured at the Foursquare Distillery before blending and bottling. Bottled at 62% ABV without chill filtration, at its natural colour, and free from sweeteners and other flavourings.

Ex-Madeira Cask Finish

Madeira is a fortified wine from the Portuguese island of Madeira. It is known for its unique production process involving heat exposure, which gives the wines a distinctive caramelised, nutty flavour.

When ex-Madeira casks are used to finish rum (and whisky), they can add a range of flavours like toffee, burnt sugar, and dried fruits (raisins, figs, or prunes) with almond, walnut, or subtle citrus undertones.
