Blackadder Raw Cask Rum FourSquare 12 – review

Blackadder Raw Cask Rum FourSquare 12

It’s special moment tonight. Ladies and Gentelman, there’s Blackadder Raw Cask Rum from the FourSquare distillery in my glass.

Foursquare is probably the most well-known rum distillery in Barbados. It’s family owned since 1820. Richard Seale belongs to the forth generation and he is now the owner and the Master Blender of the distillery. He is known for his fight against unfairness in the world of rum.

Havana Club aged 7 years

Havana club 7

Havana Club. You could say: „rum known all over the world”, but as it turns out… not so famous as you’d think. Sold by a well-known spirit selling company, Pernod Ricard (owned by such brands as: Glenlivet, Ballantine’s, or even American Wild Turkey), until recently, it was impossible to buy this rum in the USA.
