R.L. Seale

R.L. Seale & Company is a fourth generation family owned business established in the 1920s and now run by Sir David Seale and his son Richard. Over the course of a decade or so they have grown from being rum traders to rum distillers of some repute. In 1995 they took over an abandoned sugar factory and after refurbishment and the installation of custom built stills in 1996 commenced rum production.
The rums produced at Foursquare are all a blend of pot and column stills. The copper pot still is topped by a small column which in turn feeds two retort chambers and two sets of coolers with the spirit emerging at just 10°C. Additional coolers in the retorts ensure reflux in all three steps of this unconventional setup. Richard had still parts fabricated in Scotland, Italy and Barbados.
