Aroma visualization from community tastings
Foursquare Wagemut Home Base 2022
Grapes, cherries and a winey-spiced edge from the Madeira finish sit over the usual Foursquare vanilla and caramel, with roasted wood underneath. Members call it a fruity, less-dry take on the distillery, more sherry-like than classic. At cask strength the 54.7% doesn't hide, and a few flag some bitter oak or a sharp, olive-ish edge. Most still call it a rounded, honest sipper with real character.

The look inside the bottle
How does Foursquare Wagemut Home Base 2022 taste?
Aggregated from 69 community reviews.
Fruity, Madeira-finished Foursquare at cask strength Most tasters like this fruity, Madeira-tinged Foursquare and its fair value. The catch: the alcohol can come through hot, and a couple find the oak bitter or slightly unbalanced.

Well-rounded with fruit and sweetness. The Foursquare spiciness is somewhat displaced by the fruit and tends to remain in the background.

Here you get a 10-year-old cask strength with a tasty Madeira finish at a more than fair price. The finish is noticeable but not overpowering. This rum gets a fruity touch with grapes, apple, and cherries on the nose. Very chocolaty and spicier/sour wine on the palate, with a slight honey or sometimes marzipan note. Could be a bit rounder, more intense, or a bit more complex, but considering the price, it's quite good. The biggest downside is the alcoholic sharpness, which causes a piercing taste.
Review by Joachim Guger
Standard Fourquare with a sherry finish. Somewhat unbalanced. Super PLV.
Review by Timo Groeger
No. 2 for today. A very good rum. A light sweetness on the nose, tending towards vanilla. The palate also has a nice light sweetness, tending towards vanilla and caramel. But a very tasty rum.

#4588 26-27.01.2024 Hanse Spirit These bottles need a membership to get your hands on and it's a bit sad because the extra ABV actually male them better than the regular releases. Nose Wood, light roasted, fruity, light caramel, spice. Palate Wood, light roasted, sweet, dried fruit, light coconut, caramel. Finish Medium to long, wood, light roasted, dried fruit, light caramel.
Review by Lot-NAS
Upfront: The price / value ratio is great here! You get a (slightly) above average Foursquare with a Madeira finish which adds a nice sweet wine-note. The typical vanilla is more in the background and a coconut is not in sight. Nevertheless, a nice sipper, not too complicated and therefore a nice companion if your focus is somewhere else, rather than writing detailed Rum notes.
Review by Rumbaer
Verkostet auf der The Village Messe 2026 Ein sehr leckerer und geschmeidiger Foursquare mit Madeira Finish. Ich fand ihn schön fruchtig, süßlich mit madeira Noten, etwas Holz und dezenten Würzigkeit. Tolles Produkt!
Review by Schnubbii
Sample von der Hanse Spirit. An der Nase noch recht verhalten, kommt er am Gaumen für mich mit einer krassen Oliven-Note daher, die für mich erst eine Fehlnote, aber dann doch noch gerade passabel ist. So viel Olive hatte ich bei einem Foursquare noch nie, ob man das braucht? Nicht unbedingt schlecht, aber etwas unausgewogen.
Review by kondgab
Fruits, wood, caramel and roasted.
Review by Martin Švojgr
Nádherná vůně a velmi netypická chuť FS. Myslím, že ji buď bideš milovat a nebo jí zavrhneš.
Review by Basti
Not the classic Foursquare nose with the distinctive coconut note, but this rather in the background. Instead, relatively musty and pungent, which unfortunately became more intense with time. On the palate quite flat with perceptible alcohol and a sour note. Unfortunately, not so mine.
Review by Daniel Kennste Doch
Das Madeira Finish hat dem Rum einen schönen weinig-würzigen Einschlag verpasst. Etwas zu bittere Holznoten verhindern eine bessere Benotung, Alkohol aber sehr sehr gut eingebunden und der Rum ein sehr schöner Sipper
Review by Montana
A fruity aroma, a bit of wine and sherry, sweet. The taste is fruity and sweet, quite oily, a little sharp.
Review by MJ72
Top ausbalanciert in der Nase, der Maderia kommt durch, auch im Mund sehr ausgeglichen. Frucht, Würze und Fass kommen gut verteilt, langer Abgang wobei der Alkohol dann durchkommt.
Review by Richard Krupa
For me a slightly sour taste, but very good
