Foursquare: A Deep Dive into Rum at Loki Edgbaston

Join us for an evening celebrating one of the world’s most acclaimed rum producers — the legendary Foursquare Distillery of Barbados.

Founded in 1996 by Richard Seale, Foursquare has become a global benchmark for quality, authenticity, and innovation. Famous for its “no additives” philosophy — no sugar, no colour, no flavourings — Foursquare stands out as a true champion of transparency in rum. Every bottle reflects craftsmanship, integrity, and the sun-drenched terroir of Barbados.

Guided by Pete, you’ll taste six standout expressions from Foursquare’s range, each showing a different side of the distillery’s style. From vibrant white and spiced rums to rare cask-strength bottlings and indulgent cream liqueur, this tasting is your chance to experience why Foursquare is one of the most respected names in the spirits world.

“To drink Foursquare Rum, one must only possess a dream of tasting some of the finest things that money can buy…” – Warren Bobrow, Forbes.com

About Foursquare

Foursquare Rum Distillery, located on the historic grounds of a former sugar plantation dating back to the early 1700s, was re-established in 1996 by the Seale family in St. Philip, Barbados. Today, it is led by Richard Seale, a fourth-generation family member and one of the most influential voices in modern rum.

Richard’s vision combines traditional pot still and modern column still distillation, with spirits matured in ex-bourbon and sherry casks under the Caribbean sun. The result is a range of rums that are layered, honest, and deeply expressive — always produced without added sugar, colour, or flavouring. This commitment to authenticity and innovation has made Foursquare a global benchmark for fine rum, earning international acclaim and the IWSC Rum Producer Trophy in 2024.

Their limited “Exceptional Cask Selection” has become the gold standard in rum, winning countless awards and cementing Foursquare’s status as a world leader in fine spirits.
