Back in July 2021, the London flash floods did quite a number on one of UK's iconic bars, Trailer Happiness.

In response, Foursquare Distillery's Richard Seale generously bottled and donated a one-off gift to the Sly Augustin, Trailer Happiness' owner, - a bottling titled "The Sly".

"The Sly" is a single blended rum aged for 15 years in Barbados and is bottled at 62% ABV, but more eye-catchingly, has only 3 bottles in existence.

The bottling carries a handwritten label by Gayle Seale, who operates Foursquare Distillery with her husband Richard Seale.

One of only three of "The Sly" bottlings has been donated by Sly Augustin to help raise money for Equal Measures UK, which aims to deliver greater equity in the drinks industry.

"My community helped me through some pretty dark times so it feels only right to help bring light and raise awareness of some of the challenges facing the hospitality industry."

- Sly Augustin, owner of Trailer Happiness Bar

The bottle was set for auctions on Whisky.Auction and closed at a winning bid of 10,000 GBP.

Kanpai!
