You want to try Foursquare rum but you're not sure which one's right for you? This vlog takes you through 6 of the variations of rum produced by Richard Seale at Foursquare distillery in Barbados. From the core range of Doorly's, the Foursquare Exceptional Cask Selection (ECS) such as Redoutable, Foursquare 2008 & Detente; The Private Cask Selection (PCS) leading through to The Real McCoy, Velier and the star of the show, the R.L.Seales rum.

The main considerations when buying / choosing a Foursquare rum are:
- Budget (£25 - £200)
- ABV (40% - 62%)
- Flavor profile (Ex bourbon, Virgin oak, Cognac, Sherry, Madeira, Port)
All rums from Foursquare are unadulterated, no sugars, sweeteners etc.
By understanding the 3 above, you can quickly find the bottles that are right for you. (All prices taken on 08/03/2021 and vary depending on retailer. These prices are all in GBP so please check local stores for prices in your own currency).
