Foursquare Mandamus 16 Year Old
A masterclass in patience and precision from Barbados’s most celebrated rum house
Few names in rum carry the weight and reverence of Foursquare. Under the meticulous guidance of Richard Seale, the distillery has built its reputation on transparency, restraint, and an uncompromising commitment to quality — principles that find their fullest expression in the Exceptional Cask Selection series. Mandamus, the twenty-ninth release in this acclaimed collection, is a 16-year-old single blended rum that stands as one of the series’ most sought-after expressions.
Crafted with Dual Mastery
Mandamus begins as a marriage of pot and column still distillates, a hallmark of Foursquare’s signature style that balances weight and elegance in equal measure. The spirit spends a full decade maturing in ex-bourbon casks, developing structure and depth, before moving into ex-Tawny Port casks for a further six years — a secondary maturation that layers in notes of dried red fruit, warmth, and complexity.
Bottled at 57% ABV, non-chill filtered, with no added sugar or colouring, Mandamus is presented with the same honesty that defines every Foursquare release — nothing added, nothing hidden.

Description
Foursquare Mandamus 16 Year Old – Exceptional Cask Selection (Mark XXIX)
A Bottle Worthy of the Collection
Produced in strictly limited quantities and matured entirely in Barbados’s tropical climate — where ageing moves faster and more intensely than in cooler regions — Mandamus offers a depth of character rarely found in a spirit of its age. For collectors and connoisseurs alike, it represents both the artistry of Foursquare’s blending philosophy and the rarity that defines the Exceptional Cask Selection series.
Tasting Notes
Nose — Ripe blackberry and ruby-red fruits, layered with silky caramel, vanilla, and a whisper of toasted oak.
Palate — Rich and velvety, unfolding with dark chocolate, hazelnut praline, and dried apricot, underpinned by warming spice and gentle char.
Finish — Long and generous, closing with lingering notes of toasted nuts, soft spice, and a final trace of port-wine sweetness.
