Coconut, caramel and vanilla over dry oak — classic Foursquare stripped of any sherry or sugar, just the 10-year bourbon-cask base at full 64%. Give it 15 minutes and a few drops of water: the heat steps back and dried fruit, pepper and tropical fruit come through. Most owners call it honest, dry and a genuinely good deal; plenty also wish it ran a longer finish.

#7237 30.08.2026 Tasted at the German Rum Festival 2026. Atypical Barbados with a very nice kick to it. The C1 is very light in comparison. Fruity and lightly spicy with nice caramel and roasted wood and a touch of pepper. I like these Foursquare that run off a bit. Needs time in the glass though 😊 Price to quality is very good in my mind. This is a rum that will split waters!

I can't do anything with this. Proper alcoholic sharpness... Not fun at all. Definitely not worth the price.
Review by Eugene227
It shows Foursquare in an unadulterated way: dry, full-bodied, and without dosage. Dried fruits, vanilla, caramel, and spicy oak shape the profile. The 64% ABV is quite well integrated. Not a spectacular rum, but what you get for 60€ in the glass is bold, honest, and very harmonious.
Review by Schorgelorsch
A solid Barbados rum. Everything it needs is there. It's not particularly complex or equipped with a remarkable flavor profile, but it wasn't announced or advertised as such. A nice rum for an evening sipper. The alcohol warmth is really intense though.
Review by Skyfly
Tasting note. A really solid FSQ. As promised, no frills and/or intense cask influence that sweetens the whole thing, but also nothing more. All the classic FSQ markers are present and well balanced.
Review by Timo Groeger
Nice bottling, I find it a nice sipper. You can definitely recognize Foursquare. Especially coconut, but also dried fruits, vanilla, caramel and wood. I just find it a tad too alcoholic.
Review by Beach-and-Rum 🏖️🌴
Today the praised Wagemut Origin. Solid rum but noticeably more alcoholic compared to the Supernum 2004. Much less complexity. In the end, I have to say I hoped for a bit more. I wouldn't buy a bottle.
Review by The Specialist
For my taste a very solid and honest rum (Foursquare) without much fuss and as hoped, a Wagemut bottling without sherry influence and with more punch👍. I find the alcohol well integrated but already present. Slight sweetness and cask notes present. The finish could be a bit longer. Edit: I tried it over the weekend in a Wagemut Sour and in a Corn and Oil. For my taste, it fits really well there too😋
Review by Sascha Glaser
A nice Foursquare rum at cask strength with a great presence. At a solid 64%, the alcohol is still quite pleasant, although it definitely has some power. The slightly sweet finish with tropical citrus fruits is also somewhat refreshing.
Review by Jens Mulzer
Nose: dried fruits, chocolate, nutty, baking spices. Taste: lots of chocolate, hazelnuts, vanilla, baking spices. The finish could be longer. I really like this rum, even though there’s definitely room for improvement. But 60€ is really great value for money in my opinion.
Review by Rumantisch
On the nose, lots of coconut, vanilla, and caramel. The intense coconut remains in the mouth as well. Vanilla and caramel are also present, along with a spiciness typical for Foursquare. The finish is quite long. The finish gets spicier and spicier.
Review by Steph Genlee
Atypical for a Foursquare, the markers are clearly present, both on the nose and palate. Coconut, chocolate, dried fruit, and oak barrel are well present, all spiced up and peppery. A caramelized chocolate side lingers in the mouth. You can really feel the 64 degrees. I just regret a somewhat light finish on the palate. Very good value for money, which makes this creation very interesting.
Review by Thomas
On the nose, the rum starts very friendly with light vanilla notes and the promise of a relaxed evening. On the tongue, however, the cask strength method follows first: the alcohol speaks loudly and pushes itself a bit too much to the front. Then it becomes much quieter. For a Foursquare, it takes very unusual paths and does not necessarily show the typical signature of the distillery. Instead of telling long stories, it rather says goodbye with a short handshake and a "Nice, see you!". Overall, it is still an uncomplicated easy sipper. Those just discovering the world of cask strength rums will find a fairly accessible entry here without being overwhelmed aromatically. Its real strength, however, I see in cocktails, especially where coconut aromas are needed. It feels noticeably more comfortable there and contributes its part to the tropical vacation in the glass. Not a big character actor, but a solid supporting actor with a Caribbean holiday application in its pocket. 🍹🥥🥃
Review by TheJackDrop
A round that's both indulgent with coconut, vanilla, and caramel, but also quite dry and spicy, warming your heart. A good kick at 64% that will delight fans of Barbados and Belize in my opinion! No gimmicks, I like it; I often find Foursquare a bit heavy, but not here!
Review by David Brandes
I was able to try it after my order at the German Rum Festival and was thrilled. For me, despite the cask strength, a very pleasant Foursquare rum to drink. I haven't had much comparable in the glass yet, but I'm glad I'm slowly daring to approach cask strength as well. Typical, powerful Foursquare notes like dried fruits, coconut, caramel, vanilla, and distinct oak spice
Review by St. Dubs
Slightly woody with some hints of wood and dried fruit. Alcohol nicely integrated, considering it's ~64%. Not as sweet as similarly-aged Foursquare rums. Barrel flavor present, but far from dominant. A solid rum.
Review by Bubo
Unreserved recommendation for Foursquare fans. Flavor-wise a bit rougher than e.g. Doorly's 12 or longer aged ECS bottlings. Though that should not be understood negatively. In my opinion also clearly better than the standard Wagemut bottlings.
Review by Tim21
Quick short peak, then short finish. Overall sweet and boring, but at the same time quite drinkable. Will probably end up more in cocktails combined with an exciting rum.
Review by primus
This is an absolute price-performance hit. I find this rum very very tasty, pleasantly sharp, but not spritzy. The only downside of this drop is the short finish. Otherwise really great!
Review by AlPhilipo
10 years aged Foursquare from Nico with plenty of power at cask strength. Classic Foursquare/Barbados notes with coconut, caramel, and actually esters. The cask strength of over 64% is clearly noticeable in the finish, but otherwise well integrated.
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
Great Foursquare tasting, part II (30.09.2026)
Review by René Eckrodt
You can tell the age of at least 10 years on the nose. Then comes the first sip. An explosive mix of oak and old bourbon barrel. Then smooth raisin and a really long but soft finish. The 64.1% are simply perfectly integrated. As if the rum is begging to go into a sherry cask next. The first aromas of that are already noticeable. A very good RUM!
Review by David Riek
The first impression was that I was drinking a Plantation 20th Anniversary with a bit more volume and no added sugar. The typical Foursquare notes for me were missing. For me, the taste of coconut prevailed, not that that's bad, I love coconut, but for a 10-year-old Foursquare that was unfortunately too much. Conclusion: solid rum at cask strength and good to drink.
Review by Tim
Solid Foursquare! Just like you know it with coconut, caramel, vanilla, chocolate, spices, roasted notes, wood. Not at ECS level, but doesn’t have to hide. On the palate, a touch unbalanced and sharp, but also tasty and harmonious flavors. Worth buying.
Review by F.L.O.
Foursquare....typical foursquare.... A very good foursquare to be honest. Wood, musty, vanilla, coconut....who's surprised. You can't go wrong. Price-performance ratio also top at cask strength. Not a miracle bottling....but it wasn't meant to be. A bridge builder...
Review by Fabian Haha
An honest, classic Barbados rum with the unmistakable character of Foursquare. Vanilla, caramel, oak, and roasted nuts clearly take center stage and deliver exactly what you expect from a tropically aged Foursquare. The high cask strength provides intensity and punch, but in my opinion, it’s not optimally integrated and sometimes feels a bit too present. Those who prefer strong, dry rums will still get a lot of quality here at a fair price. Compared directly to the big ECS releases, The Origin lacks a bit of depth and balance, at least to my taste.
Review by StefanR
[German Rum Festival 2026] The Wagemut The Origin shows Foursquare refreshingly unfiltered: dried fruits, banana and caramel meet pineapple, chocolate, pepper and spicy oak. Despite a mighty 64.1%, the alcohol feels surprisingly well integrated. I find it especially exciting as a counterpoint to the sweet PX-Cask – here the rum itself finally gets to play the leading role. Dry, strong and straightforward; maybe not a big exotic, but damn honest stuff. I find this bottling conceptually particularly interesting. If you know the regular Wagemut PX-Cask, here you basically get the chance to "take it apart": no PX sherry, no added sweetness – just the ten years tropically aged Foursquare base at cask strength. I didn't expect to be able to taste the rum here at the fair. Afterwards, it was clear that a bottle had to come home in the backpack.
Review by JerryDerGlatzkopf
Strong, aromatic and slightly sweet but by no means a sweet rum. You can tell it's the base spirit from the PX Cask but you can also taste what Nico does with the base spirit. Highly recommended but only for those who also like the PX Cask in cask strength or other strengths. For those who say the PX Cask is strong (in terms of %), this is too much of a good thing. Price-performance at release (60€/0.7l) is absolutely top! Overall awesome stuff 🤟🏻
Review by frz_
Unfortunately a rather boring flavor profile especially compared to the PX-Cask Cask Strength. Expected more from this drop. Foursquare Rum is clearly more interesting. Still an experience, because you can taste for yourself how much the PX influences the other products.
Review by rumiub
The cask strength is really intense. On the nose rather fruity, sweet, and on the tongue more toasty and slightly sweet aromas. Less deep profile and rather direct/linear "in your face." Somehow puristic without much frill. Fewer proof would have suited it better. Time in the glass definitely helps it.
Review by Azrael1802
Intense coconut meets dried fruits, vanilla, and wood
Review by Jo Hoo
GRF 2026: Didn't find this one outstanding (...for all the hype around it). Great value for money though.
Review by Pit Krause @ slowdrink.de & Walhalla of Whisky
WAGEMUT ‚The Origin‘ Foursquare 10 y.o. Barados Rum 64.1% (Cooperation with RumX) This sample (thx Oli) reached me while I was on holiday in Porto so I am late to the tasting party. It is the cask strength origin of the famous Wagemut PX-Rum by Nicolas Kröger, 100% tropical aged, almost 52% angel’s share and straight out of Bourbon casks (no PX here). Honest and natural for under 60 Euros. Sounds great. Nose: A very typical Barbados for me, well balanced, the grilles pineapple meets salted fudgy caramel, vanilla and fruit. The white oak casks released coconut, cinnamon, cardamom, peppery spices (even chili in undiluted base), banana and a hint of smoke from toasting. I am also getting linden blossom as in Belize rums, lemon balm, dates, maracuja, almonds, white chocolate with big nuts and a well-glazed lemon sponge cake. Palate: Wonderful delivery on balanced power. It somehow has a funky and fruity arrival phase, more than the nose would have suggested. This works neat and with water. We got a good balance between the wood n’ spice and the sweetness as it moves from dry to sweet over time. The aromas of the nose are joined by old sultanas and dried apricots. Water sorts it out and elevates the smoke while tuning down spiciness. Finish: Medium length in harmonic waves, cedar touch, Barbados charm. Score: 86+ (recommended at its price point)
Review by Philip M. 🇧🇪
16/10/2026: tasted after Road Rummers Trinidad tasting @ TasTToe. The typical Foursquare profile is there, but it also has something unique about it which I can't put my finger on. Far from the best FS I ever had, but still a decent rum. For €60 you get a 10yo FS, so the price to quality is very good with this one.
Review by Torben König
A nice rum to experience Barbados. At first, with its 64.1%, it’s a bit alcoholic, but on the second sip, you taste an intense, tropical, well-aged Barbados rum, just how you imagine rum to be.
Review by Svene
The Origin from Wagemut is a typical Barbados rum. It smells and tastes of banana, coconut with a slight woodiness and spice. The alcohol is very well integrated. I can even detect a slight sweetness. Overall, a successful Barbados rum from the house of Foursquare.
Review by Dennis
For me personally absolutely untypical Foursquare. Very alcoholic on the nose and unbalanced. I tasted it twice to be sure. Doesn't linger long on the palate either. Doesn't really make you want to differentiate the individual aromas. Compared to other "standard" cask strength bottlings I've tried over the years, unfortunately not very appealing. There are much more solid entries into cask strength.
Review by Rum mit Carlos
The nose has intense notes of wood and caramel, supported by light vanilla and fruit notes. The taste straight from the bottle is very strong alcoholic, almost like glue, then very dry and burning. But if you let it breathe in the glass for a few minutes, these notes recede and notes of raisins and fruits come to the fore. So definitely let it breathe! The only negative point for me is the finish, as it is very short and uninteresting. So actually perfect for aging in sherry casks 😉. The price-performance ratio is very good. For a 10-year-old Foursquare rum at cask strength under 60€. Definitely recommended for experts.
Review by MaxC
Basically pleasant aroma, wood, vanilla, caramel and light dried fruits on the nose and palate, in the mouth I find a slight glue note quite late. Unfortunately I find it quite alcoholic and unbalanced.
Review by Ivo Höfner
I share all aspects from the current reviews and can understand both camps who disagree on various aspects of the evaluation. Maybe it is simply a VERY GOOD reference product AND PROJECT to finally be able to drop all superlatives. A great ten-year-old Foursquare without big fuss for a very elegant and tasty entry (and enjoyment) into the world of unsweetened cask strengths. You three (Oliver, Nicolas, and Richard) just did it! THANK YOU!
Review by Lemmy
The rum needs some time in the glass. Patience is rewarded though. Then the alcohol notes in the nose and mouth become clearly more pleasant. Basically not for sweet rum lovers. Beautiful notes of soft caramel, dried fruits, a slight sweetness + light cask notes. Long finish with slightly peppery notes on the tongue. Later in the glass briefly minimal notes of fresh mint. Great Barbados rum with very good price-performance ratio.
Review by Martin Mihaly
What can you say? I've been waiting a long time to compare 01 and Origin, unfortunately I'm disappointed. At first, the nose is nice, ester, woody, fruity, sweet, a bit sharp, vanilla notes and apricots, really a nice nose. But then on the palate it's totally different, sharp, woody and dry. Coconut, oily texture and peppery. Sure, you can say it's cask strength but maybe good rum in the wrong cask? On the finish warm coconut woody but not very long. Unfortunately 01 won.
Review by Micha
A nice warm rum. A pleasant woody note but not too harsh. In terms of taste, it has something of rustic chocolate and oak. You can taste the cask, which is very pleasant. Best enjoyed neat, perfect for the cold season.
Review by SaschaA
Very fruity, spicy without sweetness, top-class rum, very smooth but not for beginners or those who like sweet stuff.
Review by Rene Wagener
You notice the cask strength immediately: a lot happens at once in the mouth, and the alcohol is clearly noticeable. At first, there’s a bold, peppery-spicy note with a slightly lacquer-like impression. Then dried fruits, wood, and barrel notes appear, along with a bit of leather. The finish stays spicy and warm, with a resinous barrel note; the alcohol lingers a bit too. Pretty intense, but that’s exactly what makes it exciting.
Review by ThatCubanRumGuy
Nose: Coconut, caramel, vanilla, toasted nuts and a hint of cocoa Palate: Heavy barrel influence (roasted oak), caramel, typical Foursquare notes (citrusy fruits and toasted almonds) and some pepper. Finish: Medium long, sweet smoky oak, almost like molasses and roasted wood, and baking spice.
Review by Weil.i.ned.mog
What Wagemut C1 already hinted at comes to light here. Without sherry, a typical Barbados rum. Tasty but easy to drink. A slight hint of ester without overwhelming a novice. A wonderful introduction to the world of Caribbean aging 😋
Review by Cedric_
Addendum to my tasting from GRF 26: The release price for 10 years of tropical aging and cask strength is really fair. Unfortunately, the rum itself is nothing special. Typical Foursquare profile with a very alcoholic note. Unfortunately, not much happens on the palate. Possibly interesting for cocktails but I won’t buy a whole bottle just for the experiment.
Review by Icebird
You can immediately tell from the smell that it's a Foursquare, good cask strength and quite pleasant at 64.1%. For €59, top value for money, I like it and it doesn't need to hide from others :)
Review by Anonymous
Very compex with a certain fruity plum to dried raisin taste. All in all very pleasant medium lasting sensation. A real treat for your tastebuds. I recomend this stuff to anyone daring to get hooked in the world of rum.
