An exclusive bottling from an iconic distillery...
Foursquare Rum Distillery is one of the most revered names in the world of fine rum, renowned for its uncompromising commitment to quality and innovation. Based in Barbados and led by master distiller Richard Seale, Foursquare produces rums of remarkable depth and complexity, blending traditional craftsmanship with modern precision.
The Private Cask Selection series showcases the very best of Foursquare’s expertise, offering limited-edition releases that highlight unique cask influences and extended maturation. Each expression is bottled at natural strength, unfiltered, and free from additives, making them a favourite among collectors and connoisseurs alike.
This exclusive Foursquare 14 Year Old Private Cask Selection, available only at Hedonism Wines, is a testament to the distillery’s mastery of cask ageing. Produced from a blend of pot and column still rum, and matured for 14 years in carefully selected ex-Bourbon and Madeira barrels, this rare release delivers an extraordinary balance of richness, spice, and tropical character.
Aged in a combination of ex-bourbon and ex-Madeira casks, it opens with rich aromas of dried fruits, caramelised pineapple, beurre noisette and toasted oak, layered with hints of vanilla and baking spices. The palate is deep and textured, revealing waves of stewed stone fruits, and nutmeg, complemented by a subtle Madeira-influenced acidity that adds brightness.
At 58% ABV, it delivers a powerful yet refined intensity, with a velvety mouthfeel and evolving notes of cocoa, cinnamon, and charred oak. The finish is long and warming, leaving impressions of dark chocolate, candied orange peel, and a lingering spice. A truly remarkable rum, this bottling encapsulates Foursquare’s exceptional craftsmanship and is a must-try for enthusiasts of structured, high-proof rums with intricate cask influence.

About Foursquare
Foursquare Rum Distillery is one of the most revered names in the world of fine rum, a symbol of both Barbadian heritage and forward-thinking craftsmanship. The distillery is built on a historic sugar plantation dating back to the 17th century, but its modern legacy began in 1996 when Richard Seale, a fourth-generation rum maker, took the helm. Seale’s vision was clear from the outset: to challenge the status quo of the rum industry by championing transparency, authenticity, and quality. His approach rejected the widespread use of additives, excessive sweetening, and misleading age statements, instead focusing on producing rums that spoke for themselves through expert distillation and careful cask ageing.
Foursquare rums are crafted through a precise combination of pot and column still distillation, creating a signature style that balances richness with finesse. The distillery is particularly renowned for its pioneering approach to cask maturation, experimenting with a range of wood types and ageing techniques to push the boundaries of flavour development. From American oak bourbon barrels to sherry and port casks, each release is a masterclass in balance and complexity, bottled at natural strength and unfiltered to preserve its full character.
Under Richard Seale’s guidance, Foursquare has become one of the most awarded rum producers in the world, winning multiple "Rum Producer of the Year" titles at the International Spirits Challenge. His outspoken advocacy for rum as a premium spirit—on par with whisky and cognac—has cemented his reputation as a thought leader in the industry. The distillery’s Exceptional Cask and Private Cask Selection series are particularly sought after, showcasing some of Foursquare’s most exquisite and rarest expressions. With an unwavering commitment to quality, innovation, and integrity, Foursquare continues to set the benchmark for world-class rum, earning a devoted following among collectors and connoisseurs alike.
