The Barbados Rum Tax Act of 1906 forced small distillers to create their own brand if they wanted to sell their rum. In 1908, the company Martin Doorly & Co was established, and their rum became the first bottled rum exported from the island. The Blue Parrot is still on the bottles today. It became a recognizable and trademark symbol of this brand. In 1993, R.L. Seale acquired the Barbados company and has owned it ever since. Doorly's rum has become an export, award-winning brand and is produced in the beautiful distillery Foursquare.
