THE BRAND
Run by family Seale since several generations, Foursquare distillery is the most technologically advanced distillery in the Carribean with a history of rum making dating back to 1820. Reginald Leon Seale is the name of one of the oldest Barbados rum productor who set up a distribution business in Bridgetown at the beginnig of the last century. Nowadays Richard Seale is the master distiller and owner of the Foursquare Distillery and thanks to him, a radical modernization has taken place.
Despite being sat in the middle of a sugar cane plantation, Foursquare imports most of their molasses from Guyana. The rums produced at Foursquare are all a blend of pot and column stills distillation, combined both before and after being barelled. All Foursquare rums do not contain sugar and are distilled and bottled in Barbados. Richard Seale in this regard calls himself a rum keeper, always sided against adulteration, the use of sugar and industrial multi-column. The distillery was designed to be energy efficient and has the most advanced recycling and waste disposal system on the island.
THE BOTTLER
Masam is an independet bottling company run by Maryse Accorsi, wife of the late Silvano Samaroli.
