About this deal

Some rums will be blended again and undergo the second maturation before being bottled usually at 40%. Rum has been produced on the island of Barbados for more than 300 years, but it was not until the 1906 Rum Duty Act was passed that the industry began to develop as we know it today. In the event of any safety concerns or for any other information about a product please carefully read any instructions provided on the label or packaging and contact the manufacturer.

Meticulously matured in ex-bourbon casks, this Caribbean rum boasts a robust and full-bodied flavour that captivates the senses. It soon evolved into Doorly Macaw Rum and, although bulk rum was traded in casks long before, it became the first bottled rum to be exported from the island.

Foursquare Distillery is owned by the Seale family who have five generations of rum-making expertise dating back to 1820. This is a rum of boldness, where every sip reveals a tapestry of flavours that embody the essence of time and craftsmanship.

Seale acquired Doorly's in 1993 and, in keeping its history, decided that it would become an export brand. Bottled at 40% ABV free of sweeteners – the label sports the Scarlet Macaw, same as the Martin Doorly’s Macaw Rum bottling. L. Seale’s built a distillery on the site of an old sugar factory, known nowadays as Foursquare Distillery and all those rums are now produced there rather than sourced from other distilleries. This is meant to be their main aged rum for mixing and cocktails, but sipping it wouldn’t be frowned upon either. Doorly's XO Barbados Rum is an expertly crafted blend of rums aged for 5-12 years then matured in Oloroso sherry casks for extra complexity.While I’m sure it was a business decision as well, one of the reasons for incorporating all these labels under the R.
