Description
A must-have for rum lovers from the ten-time consecutive winner of the ISC’s ‘Rum Producer of the Year’, this Foursquare 16 Year Old Exceptional Cask Selection XXIX Mandamus is the fresh new addition to their award-winning Exceptional Cask Selection series!
A limited-edition release, this superb liquid 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.
Bottled at a hefty 57% abv, Mandamus is non-chill filtered and free from sweeteners or colourings. On the nose, there’s 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. The palate continues these juicy fruit influences, with ripe black cherries, raspberries and Victoria plums. More sultanas and a hint of zesty orange. Finally the close brings notes of bitter chocolate and black tea, mixed with white pepper and a hint of chilli pepper warmth in the long lasting, toasty, gently smokey, oaky grip.
