Foursquare
Foursquare: Barbados icon of additive-free, single blended, tropically aged rum
Foursquare stands at the heart of Barbados rum heritage—revived in 1996 by the Seale family on a historic sugar factory site. Revered for uncompromising integrity, the distillery champions additive-free, tropically aged, single blended rum made from pot and column distillates. With 562 expressions on RumX, it’s a benchmark for quality and transparency.
Across 11,219 community reviews, the distillery holds a strong 8.3/10 median on RumX. Enthusiasts praise its balanced profile—toasted coconut, vanilla, baking spice, cocoa and coffee—delivered with clean, dry oak. From accessible Doorly’s to the power and nuance of the Exceptional Cask Selection and acclaimed Velier collaborations, the house style stays precise, honest and deeply satisfying.

Most frequently mentioned flavors
RumX users value the clarity and integrity: no additives, precise oak management, and full tropical maturation. They highlight great value in Doorly’s 12 and 14 for daily sipping, while the ECS vintages deliver cask-strength depth and spice. Velier releases like Plenipotenziario, Sassafras and Raconteur add layered fruit and chocolate tones. A few note wood-forward or hot moments, but patience in the glass rewards with balance and complexity.
