Rum
Foursquare, Shibboleth
The Foursquare Distillery in Barbados is the home of the Seale family, which has been involved in the blending and bottling of rum since the late 1800s. The art of rum-making has been a family affair ever since, and in 1996 the Seales opened a state-of-the-art distillery. The driving force of the distillery, Richard Seale, is a vocal advocate of rum production, and this expression, matured for 16 years in ex-bourbon casks, is a great example of the quality from this distillery, with summer fruit compote on the nose, backed by redcurrants, yuzu fruit, tobacco and leather. A zesty palate of lemon curd, marmalade, lime pickle and oak notes lends excellent depth and complexity.
