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.

How does Foursquare Wagemut Home Base 2022 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
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 Eugene227
Fruity Foursquare with a clear Madeira influence instead of the classic dryness. Vanilla, caramel, wood, and spicy wine notes come together harmoniously and pleasantly robust. Not maximally complex, but full of character, approachable, and with a strong great value.

#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 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.
Review by Rumbaer
Tasted at The Village fair 2026 A very tasty and smooth Foursquare with Madeira finish. I found it nicely fruity, sweetish with Madeira notes, some wood and subtle spiciness. Great product!
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 kondgab
Fruits, wood, caramel and roasted.
Review by Schnubbii
Sample from Hanse Spirit. Quite restrained on the nose, on the palate it hits me with a crazy olive note, which at first seems like a flaw but then is just barely acceptable. I’ve never had so much olive in a Foursquare before, do you need that? Not necessarily bad, but a bit unbalanced.
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 René Eckrodt
Strong. Shame it's being discontinued. The perfect introduction to cask strength. Absolutely recommended :)
Review by Rumantisch
For me, one of the best rums I've tried so far. Very fruity, nice toasty wood notes and also some lovely ester hints on the nose. The 54.7% doesn't hold back though, so there's some punch behind it.
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 Martin Švojgr
Beautiful aroma and a very atypical FS taste. I think you'll either love it or reject it.
Review by Stan Hardy
Price-performance ratio is great
Review by Pavel Ungr, RumRock
Vintage 2022. With 8.2 out of 10, it's a very good bottle, though not the top of my ranking.
Review by Tom 1968
The base is a 10-year-old rum from Foursquare aged in bourbon barrels, which then spent another 3 months in a Madeira cask. At first contact, the alcohol is way too strong for the aromas present. After the alcohol fades, the fruity and sweet notes come through quite weakly. I had hoped for a bit more. Even on the third sip and after a long stay in the glass, it unfortunately didn’t change. My tip: On cold days in cocoa, it still pays off for rum lovers (only for that reason 6.9 and my 4 bottles in stock :-)).
Review by Robert Kausch
Very nice rum with the typical Foursquare profile. On the nose, lots of coconut and dark fruit notes. On the palate, still coconut and pleasantly buttery notes. The Madeira finish stays more in the background here. The alcohol maybe comes through a bit too strong. One of my favorites from Wagemut. Very, very unfortunate that it was discontinued.
Review by Richard Krupa
For me a slightly sour taste, but very good
Review by Daniel Kennste Doch
The Madeira finish gave the rum a nice woody-spicy touch. Slightly too bitter wood notes prevent a better rating, but the alcohol is very very well integrated and the rum is a very nice sipper.
Review by ipfrum
I still find it hard to describe taste well. You smell a fruitiness that can remind you of wine. At the same time, I also perceive a woody smell that smells "old" (but I wouldn't say "musty"). In terms of taste, it is not sweet in my opinion. There is definitely an alcoholic sharpness that makes the finish medium to long. Overall tasty and maybe even better if the sharpness were somewhat toned down. Maybe I'll try it again later with 1-2 drops of water.
Review by themac11
Sherry was better. Good strength at 54.7%.
Review by MJ72
Top balanced on the nose, the Madeira comes through, also very balanced on the palate. Fruit, spice and cask are well distributed, long finish where the alcohol then comes through.
Review by FelixS
Quite balanced, clear influence from the Madeira finish, lots of fruit, slight spiciness, creamy vanilla, noticeably present but moderate sweetness.
