    How does this rum taste?

    Dry, port-driven Foursquare powerhouse
    Who is this rum for?

    If you like classic dry Foursquare (think ECS-style oak, vanilla, coconut) and are curious about a serious port twist, Mandamus keeps that DNA while adding red-fruit richness.

    Not really suitable for

    Those sensitive to higher ABV, anyone looking for an ultra-sweet easy sipper, or drinkers who prefer lighter, more straightforward 40% rums.

    Another very good Foursquare. This time a representative with dark fruits, wood and a good port wine influence. The alcohol is well integrated and the finish shows even more clearly than the palate in which this rum was stored.

    Auto-translated

    I’m having a bit of trouble unpacking this rum visiting it for the first time with a newly opened bottle. The expected caramel, vanilla, and red fruit notes that you would expect are there, but I’ll need to revisit it to go a level deeper. It lives up to the ECS expectation and is a very good rum.

    Quite alcoholic compared to the other FSQs in the range. The typical markers are present from nose to finish. More spices and stronger alcohol in this bottling. Port wine influence slightly noticeable

    Auto-translated

    Alcohol and column are already quite present. But overall, high quality. Port finish fits well!
