Rum enthusiasts will tell you that Foursquare is simply sublime when treated to Port cask maturation, and they are not wrong! It's a fact that you can confirm for yourself with this addition to the Barbados distillery's Exceptional Cask Collection, laden with notes of jammy cherries and berries. Mandamus combines pot and column distilled rum, initially matured for a decade in bourbon casks, followed by a further six years in tawny Port casks before bottling at a robust 57% ABV.
A rich rush of blackberries, ripe pineapple, tart plum, and cherries. Lots of sultanas, vanilla caramel, along with hints of ginger, hazelnuts, walnuts, and blackcurrant vines.
Soft and sweet onto the palate, lots of juicy ripe black cherries, raspberries, and Victoria plums. More sultanas and a hint of zesty orange.
Bitter chocolate and black tea. White pepper and a hint of chilli pepper warmth in the long-lasting, toasty, gently smoky oaky grip.
