Founded in 1996 by the Seale family, it holds the distinction of being the only family-owned distillery on the island, a testament to its commitment to quality and tradition. Operating on the grounds of a former sugar plantation, Foursquare combines traditional rum production techniques with modern innovations to create a diverse array of rums that are both complex and refined.
