"Let Libations Lead to Learning, Love and more Liquor It's not done idly when they eschew the term "distillery" in favor of "rum factory and heritage park" in the case of Foursquare. As a "rum factory" they produce tremendous amounts of some of the most loved rums from Barbados. Naturally, you can find the exquisite Foursquare Rum here, but they also produce an exceptional line under the Doorly's label, plus another hard-drinking favorite named Old Brigand, among others. And when it comes to the "heritage park" part, the grounds boast a kind of museum in the form of a field littered with antique rum manufacturing equipment, plus a rum educational pavilion, and most uniquely, an amphitheater for local musical and theatrical performances. When you stop in, ask for a corn 'n oil!"

"A Barbadian rum reflecting the island’s mixed pot-and-column technique, offering a balanced interplay of oak spice, molasses sweetness and pot-still character enhanced by skilled blending and aging." - Jake Emen

The tour at Foursquare Rum Distillery was absolutely educational and engaging. Our guide, though fairly new, was incredibly knowledgeable about the history and process behind the distillery’s world-famous rums. We had the opportunity to sample seven different rums, each rich in flavor and crafted with precision—no sugar added, just pure quality. We even tasted the water produced on site, which added to the experience. This visit is a must for anyone traveling to Barbados, especially since it’s the rum capital of the West Indies.

Tamera is the best!!!! She is very knowledgeable of the whole history of the distillery and was able to answer any questions our small group sent her way. Tamera allowed us ample time to take photos before proceeding into the next areas of the tour.. I was by myself with a couple who was able to take photos of each other and I loved how Tamera asked me if wanted my photo taken with the rum bottles I sampled. She provided the perfect photo opportunity by the way she lined up the bottles and even made sure I was positioned right.

We wanted to visit a distillery on the island without joining a guided tour, and Foursquare was truly the best place to do it. The grounds are beautiful and we even saw a monkey while walking around. The tasting room has a gorgeous stone interior and the cost was 50 Barbados dollars per person. A great spot to explore, taste, and enjoy at your own pace. Highly recommend!

It probably goes without saying that if you are a fan of Rum this is a must do visit. Our guided tour was exceptionally informative and Rum tasting was the highlight of my visit to Barbados. The rum they make at Four Square are top notch and really was impressed by the exceptional range they produce here. It was excellent to be able to try some of the higher end rums I wouldn't normally get and was blown away with the 10year old RL Seales...my new favourite drink

As a Rum enthusiast, I was disappointed by the visit at Foursquare. No guided tour is organised, but you can tour the distillery on your own. However, you do not get the chance to see closely stills. We had a tasting experience in the shop, which was nice. Unfortunately, none of the special release was available for purchase at the shop. Overall, if you are planning the visit as a rum enthusiast is suggested to call the shop before visiting to ask if the special editions are available for purchase to avoid bad surprises.

Our tasting experience at Foursquare Rum Distillery was truly exceptional, largely thanks to our amazing host! She went above and beyond by personalizing our tasting based on our preferences, which we greatly appreciated. She also shared fascinating facts and educated us thoroughly about rum, including the unique characteristic of Foursquare's spiced rum being the only one without added sugar – the hand demonstration was a fantastic and convincing touch! The tasting was undoubtedly the highlight of our visit. Our guide even kindly offered to take a picture of us, which was a lovely gesture and a great souvenir. The distillery itself is set in a charming location, and we appreciated the freedom to explore the grounds at our own pace. However, the self-guided tour could be improved with clearer signage. We found ourselves a bit unsure of the designated areas, as the mentioned yellow arrows were not immediately obvious. Thankfully, a helpful employee noticed our confusion and kindly guided us. Despite this navigational hiccup, the outstanding tasting and the overall atmosphere make Foursquare a worthwhile visit for rum enthusiasts.

Super cool place. Must visit if you like rum. It's a self guided tour which gives you lots of freedom to look around the place. The downside of that is that it can get a bit confusing about where you can and can't explore because it is an operating distillery. The signs say to follow the yellow footsteps. Unfortunately, there are no yellow footsteps. I'm not sure if that used to be a thing. Well worth a visit. The tasting at the Copper Still Bar was also awesome.
