How does this rum taste?
RumX members rate Exceptional Cask Sélection XXIX (Mandamus) as a classic, well-made Foursquare with a twist: caramel, vanilla and red fruits meet darker fruit, oak and clear port influence. Many note that a few drops of water really open it up, softening the alcohol and bringing spices and brown sugar into balance. A very good, confidently recommended Barbados cask for fans of port-finished rums.

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.
Ein sehr gut gelungener Rum. Im Geschmack ist er ziemlich süß, mir fast schon zu süß, Holz, Pfeffer und Gewürze gehen dagegen leider etwas unter. Mit Wasser wird er wesentlich besser, öffnet sich mehr und die Aromen finden besser zueinander.
Beautiful Foursquare, high quality as usual. The port finish is well integrated, as usual it gets even better with a little water and opens up. Good bottling, can be bought without hesitation in my opinion, but not a revelation either. Simply "still" a successful Foursquare, not at the level of the Absolutio. Thanks to Jens for the sample and the opportunity!
Starker Port Einfluss, recht wenig Foursquare Noten.
