OVERVIEW OF FOURSQUARE DISTILLERY:
The Foursquare rum distillery is owned by R.L. Seale & Co, a family company with a traceable history of rum making in Barbados dating back to 1820. The modern company dates to the 1920s, when Reginald Leon Seale set up a distribution business in the island’s capital, Bridgetown. The company’s success brought expansion, and through the latter half of the 20th century it acquired brands such as ESA Fields and Doorly’s for its portfolio. In 1995 they opened the Foursquare distillery, converting an abandoned sugar factory in the Saint Philip parish. Operating as double retort pot still and a three-column continuous still, its first spirit was produced in 1996. Foursquare produces Single Blended rum, combining its pot and column distillate both before and after being barrelled, and under the direction of Sir David Seale and his son, Richard, has become one of the most revered producers in the world.

OVERVIEW OF THE EXCEPTIONAL CASK SELECTION SERIES:
Introduced in 2008, the Exceptional Cask Selection from Foursquare is an exemplar of the finest rum the distillery can produce. They have generally been aged to either side of a decade in cask, and bottled from bourbon casks, most of which are sourced from Jack Daniel’s, or from a variety of wood finishes. The latter is a speciality of Richard Seale, and releases have included lauded bottlings from a range of fortified wine and brandy barrels. (Cited: rumauctioneer)

SHOULD YOU BUY THIS BOTTLE?
DRINKER - probably not now as it's becoming increasingly more expensive, try Foursquare ECS Detente as an alternative port cask finished Bajan rum.
COLLECTOR - If you are trying to get the whole ECS this is the second in the series and becoming increasingly more difficult to find and buy then you should really have this one as the start of your collection as the #1 ECS Vintage 1998 is now a unicorn bottle.
INVESTOR - Increasing in value every quarter with the entire series becoming more globally recognized in both the rum and whisky world. I doubt you'll lose money on this bottle.
