Foursquare Launches Exceptional Cask Selection Mark XXIX, Mandamus
Foursquare Rum Distillery has launched the latest expression in its Exceptional Cask Selection (ECS) series, Foursquare Mark XXIX, Mandamus.
Foursquare Mark XXIX Mandamus is a 16 year old Double Maturation Single Blended Rum distilled in both a copper Double-Retort Pot Still and a Continuous Twin Column Coffey Still. It was initially aged in ex-Bourbon barrels for 10 years, then transferred into ex-Port Pipes for an additional 6 years. All aging, blending, and bottling occurred entirely on-site at Foursquare Rum Distillery in Barbados. Foursquare Mark XXIX Mandamus is presented at 114 proof (57% ABV) with no added color, sugar, filtration, or flavor additives.
Official tasting notes for Foursquare Mark XXIX Mandamus follow:
Aroma: Soft and layered, dried cocoa, apricots, bright fresh coconut, orange peel, flint, cherry blossom, and milk chocolate – almost white chocolate. Layers of toasted honey, saline, and hints of cedar – with a sweet note reminiscent of saltwater taffy.
Palate: Full and rich on the palate, with equal high and low tones – bright punch of citrus and berries, caramel, blackberry pie filling, rich oxidative notes showcasing long age, and with a soft and supple finish.
Foursquare Exceptional Cask Selection Mark XXIX Mandamus is available at U.S. retailers and online for the suggested retail price of $159.99.
