NEW RumX Co-Bottling + Your Interview Questions for Nicolas 🎙️⚡️

Could be a 2016 vintage, since it’s 10 years old. Not many have hit the market yet.
Maybe the other half of the cask will come to market later.
But it could also be a sister cask to the very delicious RumClub bottling RX24839.

Okay, you were faster than we’d have liked :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: Here are the official details with more context:

Distilled at Foursquare on Barbados. 10 years aged 100% tropically, in ex-bourbon casks, pot & column still. No sugar, no filtration, no color. And the 51.61% in the title is exactly what it looks like: the angel’s share. More than half has evaporated over the years. What’s left, we’re bottling. Pure, at full cask strength. :fire:

The key details are now on the The-Origin page: Four lines are still pixelated. On Tuesday (August 18th, 10:00 a.m.) we’ll reveal three of them: bottler, alcohol content, and release size. After that, exactly one line remains blurred and you can probably guess which one :wink:

Regarding the cask and vintage theories here in this thread, I have no comment until Tuesday. Not even a :wink:.

But I’m curious: What’s your guess? Who’s bottling it, and where will the cask strength land?

The dates are set: Presale for RX+ members on Friday 28.08., 10:00 a.m. Public sale for everyone from Monday 31.08., 10:00 a.m. If you don’t want to miss anything, sign up for the waitlist on the page. :high_voltage:

The full background information is currently being uploaded to the website and will be visible at Wagemut The Origin: 10 Jahre Foursquare in Fassstärke | RumX in about 30 minutes. The Super-:man_detective: have already spotted it in the key facts. :wink::fire:

And one thing I want to emphasize explicitly: This is not a nerd release.

The Savanna was one. Single cask, brutal flavor profile, 445 bottles, almost €300, gone after 90 seconds. After that came quite a few (annoyed/angry/upset) messages from people who came up empty, and they were all right. When a release sells out so quickly that half the community can only watch, that’s not a »successful« launch, but a distribution problem.

That’s why this time we’re doing it differently on purpose: significantly higher volume, broader target audience. The Origin is the perfect rum for everyone who loves Foursquare. And especially for those who still have little experience with cask strength and want to get a taste of the world that we »nerds« all love so much: craftsmanship, cask strength, no additives, and beautiful, intense tropical maturation. It’s not (just) all about us nerds. It’s also about those who want to become one. :wink:

What’s still in it for you
The most common criticism of the PX series here in the forum and in the app reviews was always similar: The sherry overpowers the base and brings (way) too much sweetness. Now you get that base on its own. Without PX sherry, without dilution, without additives. And because there’s no more PX in it, the label also shows what many missed with Wagemut: Rum. :nerd_face::tumbler_glass:

About the price: The number comes on August 25. Just so you know, we’ve deliberately calculated it so that the entry really is one. :collision:

All background details and the complete data sheet will be live in about 30 minutes at:

You can also sign up for the timer there. :high_voltage:

Questions and feedback? Always welcome. :tumbler_glass::heart:

Nice approach, but as much as I like Foursquare: personally, I can’t buy any more of it, I’ve just already got too much Foursquare. :grin:

But I’m curious about the reviews.

I was able to try it in advance and can only affirm: No nerdy stuff, no FOMO nonsense, but rather a good rum at a fair price — something almost anyone can afford and an ideal introduction for everyone to experience cask strength in a beginner-friendly way without being overwhelmed.
I see the rum more as a bridge builder to allow people to try Wagemut rum authentically, so to speak, without the makeup, and to get more people into cask strength and honest, genuine rum.
I don’t think we nerds & hardliners are the target audience here, and that’s okay too.:smiley:
