The Seale Family has been living and working on Barbados for nearly 370 years. They started making Rum there in 1820, selling wholesale to distributors. Eventually they opened up their own distribution company, allowing them to market premium Barbados Rums under the R. L. Seale brand in the early 1900s. Since then they have developed a range of private brands including Doorly’s, E.S.A. Field, Rum 66, and Old Brigand — all distilled at their historic Foursquare Distillery located on a former sugarcane plantation in the southeast corner of the island.
The Exceptional Cask series represents the personal Rum projects of distillery head Richard Seale. Each is limited in quantity and released when he says so… and that’s the way it should be. Foursquare Redoutable 14 Year Old Rum is the fifteenth release in the series.
Foursquare Rums are famous for being double-distilled — once in a column still and once in a pot still for a balance of flavor and purity. This tasty dram is no exception. What makes it stand out is that half of the Spirit has been aged in Madeira Wine casks and the other half in ex-Bourbon casks for fourteen long years under the Caribbean sun. This edition was bottled in September of 2020 at a resoundingly redoutable 61% ABV.

Finish
Sipped neat, the finish is long, strong, warm, lightly sweet, and a tad drying.
