Foursquare Exceptional Cask Selection Mark XXIX “Mandamus” is a 16-year single blended rum from Barbados. Distilled in copper double-retort pot stills and a continuous twin-column Coffey still, it spent 10 years in ex-bourbon barrels before finishing six years in ex-port casks.
Bottled at 57% ABV (114 proof) at Foursquare Distillery, the rum is available across the U.S. and online with a suggested retail price of $159.99.
It needs some time in the glass and/or a few drops of water to improve. Quity oaky, coconut, vanilla, caramel (gave me a Demerara vibe for a second), light tobacco. The sweet berries are struggling to overcome the oak, but they are there and they are nice.
