Wagemut Special Edition GRF 2022 2012
Opinions land in a tight band: most call it a good way to dip into cask-strength Jamaicans, a couple find it sharp and not quite rounded. Expect ester, ripe banana and a distinct glue note over light wood, with a warm, fruity finish. Worthy Park clearly leads. At 63.4% the alcohol runs hot — several tasters let it breathe or added a few drops of water.
The community says- Ripe banana funk
- Long warm finish
- Less suitable for: Anyone put off by high, sharp alcohol

How does Wagemut Special Edition GRF 2022 2012 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Hot, ester-driven cask-strength Jamaican A well-priced entry into cask-strength Jamaican funk. Banana, ester and glue are all there; the main gripe is that the high-proof heat isn't fully integrated.

Empty glass Light caramel, light chocolate, light pineapple, faint coffee.
Review by Fuwi
Initially metallic sweet on the tip of the tongue, then a fruit bomb on the palate. Mushy, overripe banana and pineapple, then a bit bitter like green pear but heavily funky like Jamaica dancing on the tongue. The alcohol is initially sharp, with a few drops of water it becomes more pleasant and you can work out the individual aromas more finely. Fun!
Review by zabo
Quite a nice sipper, but unfortunately nothing more. Thanks to Jarek for letting me have another bottle. Edit: I've now tried it as a mixer. Yes, in my opinion it can do more than neat. Very drinkable. That's why it didn't last long.
Review by Timo Groeger
Pub Alte Post Witten February 2025. Now a Worthy Park from Wagemut. On the nose we mainly have esters, banana and red wine. On the palate then lots of ester, banana and glue, also it feels a bit overripe.
Review by Johannes
You can taste everything that's on the label—except Hampden, I don't taste that. WP dominates, alcohol could be better integrated.
Review by Balian
Not round, the alcohol is very dominant. On the 2nd day rounder, clearly better. Recommend letting it breathe longer.
Review by Oliver
A successful entry to get a taste of cask strength Jamaicans.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Personally, I don't find it so round and relatively sharp...

Top price-performance ratio to get a taste of the cask strength world. The alcohol integration could be a bit better.
