The wine

Foursquare assemblé à partir de fûts et de millésimes différents : 2004 en fût de bourbon, 2005 en fût de Madère et 2007 en fût de chêne neuf. C'est une collaboration entre Richard Seale, le patron de Foursquare, et Luca Gargano, celui de la célèbre maison de négoce génoise Velier. Velier a en grande partie construit sa réputation sur ses sélections chez Demerara Distillers Limited (Guyana) et Caroni. Il n'a plus accès aux chais de la première et les stocks de la seconde s'épuisent petit à petit. Il a donc fallu trouver de nouveaux territoires à explorer ; la Barbade est un de ceux-là. Il s'agit, dans la tradition de la maison, d'un mélange de rhum distillé dans un colonne Coffey et de rhum distillé deux fois en pot still. Edition limitée à 5 400 bouteilles.

The distillery Foursquare

Looking for a rum produced by a family company that respects traditional methods? Then look no further. Foursquare is a family-owned distillery that has been masterfully managed by the Seale family since it was first founded in the 19th century. The distillery is located on the island of Barbados in the Caribbean Sea. The story goes that in 1883 Reginald Leon Seale decided to learn the art of rum blending. He then created his first company in 1926, lending his initials to the business name, R.L. Seale & Co. At the time, Barbados could not market its own rum, which was instead sold to bottlers and other independent brands. The distillery was handed from father to son, until Foursquare was built in 1996 on the site of the former sugar refinery and distillery of the same name. Rums are produced at the distillery from diluted molasses, and fermented with South African yeasts. Foursquare quickly established a strong reputation for its ex-bourbon cask maturations.
