The article explains very well the main production techniques that characterises the work at Foursquare , revealed by its "guru" , Mr. Richard Seale , and its staff .
In particular the article also describes some features often "forgotten" about the Rum Production . An example is the problem of the waste water treatment : the slops from a distillery can be, in fact, very pollutant for the environment. About this particular subject, the article underlines the environmental technologies used at the Foursquare Distillery in order to clean all the wastes and to transform the byproducts into products useful for the agricolture. In particular the article explains how the spent wash are evaporated in the Green Engineering evaporation unit, allowing to recover clean water and amendants for the crops . In this way most of the wastes at Foursquare are recycled into valuable products, helping to keep clean the beautiful environment of Barbados and helping the sustainability of the production .
