FOURSQUARE RUM DISTILLERY
MASTER SERIES #4 SINGLE BLENDED RUM
BARBADOS
Why Buy: Bourbon maven Fred Minnick christened Foursquare "the Pappy of Rum," and The International Spirits Challenge has named Foursquare its "Rum Producer of the Year" an astounding nine years in a row. And if anything, that's not praise enough. These are THE gold standard for premium, artisanal sipping rums that transcend their category — rums that stand alongside the best Cognac, bourbon, and gin in the world. And their extraordinary Master Series might just be their finest achievement yet. Master Series No. 2 and No. 3 flew out the door, and we have every expectation that No. 4 — a high-octane (124 proof), single blended rum aged 14 years — will do the same. So, secure your order today, folks, and thank us later.
What They're Saying: Forbes spoke for us and many others when it wrote: "To drink Foursquare Rum, one must only possess a dream of tasting some of the finest things that money can buy.”
Our Tasting Notes: What a journey this is. A masterful marriage of artisanal pot-distilled and traditional Coffey-distilled molasses spirits, it is big, and bold, and delivers layers upon complex layers of richness and spice. The 14 years of maturation in a combination of ex-Bourbon and ex-Madeira casks have imbued it with a depth that simply has to be experienced to be understood — notes of crème brûlée, dark chocolate, and roasted nuts intertwining with a vibrant core of dried mango and candied ginger. The finish lingers on with a graceful, velvet-like warmth, and you are left in awe at the poise and balance on display.
The Story: Though the distillery itself was only founded in 1996, the Seale family's roots in Barbados' sugar and molasses industry stretch back nearly 300 years, to the 1730s. It is this rich heritage, combined with a forward-thinking, innovative spirit, that has enabled Foursquare to emerge as the undisputed leader in the world of premium, artisanal rum. At the heart of the Foursquare ethos is an unwavering commitment to transparency and authenticity. Every aspect of the production process, from distillation to aging to blending, takes place on-site at the distillery, overseen by the legendary Master Distiller Richard Seale. And the results speak for themselves — rums of unparalleled complexity and depth.
The Specs: A blend of two 14 Year rums, one finished for 14 years in ex-bourbon casks, the other, finished entirely for 14 years in ex-Madeira casks.
ABV: 62% (124 proof).
Fun Fact: The sprawling Serles estate boasts a captivating and evocative sight — an 18th century windmill. It’s a picturesque reminder of the island's rich agricultural heritage, and of the family’s long-time roots.
Our Guarantee: Remember, friends - we always buy and source direct, so you can be confident that your rum will arrive in your hands with pristine provenance.
