International Wine & Spirit Competition (IWSC) Rum Producer of the Year: 2016, 2018

The Whiskey Exchange Spirit of the year 2019:
"Doorly’s 12 Year Old is an excellently-balanced rum, with Madeira sweetness complementing the bourbon-cask character and Foursquare’s classic Barbados style. Rich, complex and a worthy winner."

Barbados-based Foursquare Distillery is held in exceptional regard in the rum world. Master Distiller Richard Seale is an outspoken advocate for “authentic rum,” free of post-distillation additives like sugar. Foursquare sells rum under several different house labels, including Doorly’s. The Doorly’s labels are instantly recognizable by their iconic Macaw birds, a different breed for each expression. In addition to their own brands, Foursquare sells bulk rum to blenders and other producers, so you likely have had Foursquare rum at some point. The distillery uses a mixture of pot and column stills to create a classic Bajan-style rum. The Doorly’s 12 resides at the top of their range and is aged in used-bourbon white oak casks, then finished in madeira casks, spending a minimum of twelve years in wood. It was the first ever rum to win Spirit of the Year at The Whisky Exchange
