Foursquare Mandamus Exceptional Cask Selection Mark XXIX

Fresh from being named the ISC's 'Rum Producer of the Year' for the 10th consecutive year, Foursquare proudly unveils its latest expression, a testament to the distillery's unwavering pursuit of rum excellence.

We are delighted to introduce Foursquare MANDAMUS (Mark XXIX), the latest addition to Foursquare's acclaimed Exceptional Cask Selection series. This limited-edition release is a masterful Single Blended Rum, crafted from both pot and column still distillates and aged for 16 years in a dual maturation of 10 years in ex-Bourbon casks followed by 6 years in ex-Tawny Port casks. Presented at 57% ABV, non-chill filtered and free from sweeteners or colourings, MANDAMUS stands out as a true expression of authenticity and balance.

What sets MANDAMUS apart is its rich Port Cask influence, a hallmark that first captivated Foursquare enthusiasts back in 2014. This release revisits that beloved style, offering a luxurious, jammy depth of flavour with layersof dark fruit, caramel, nuts and subtle spice. It's a rum that speaks to both Foursquare's heritage and its innovative spirit, bridging tradition with continued exploration.

Tasting Notes by Peter Holland, Foursquare Brand Ambassador

Nose - A rich rush of blackberries, ripe pineapple, tart plum and cherries. Lots of sultanas, vanilla, caramel, along with hints of ginger hazel nuts, walnuts and blackcurrant vines.

Palate - Soft and sweetonto the palate, lots of juicy ripe black cherries, raspberries and Victoria plums. More sultanas and a hint of zesty orange.

Finish - Bitter chocolate and black tea. White pepper and a hint of chilli pepper warmth in the long lasting, toasty, gently smokey, oaky grip.
