Wagemut Fasssprache: Mulberry Rum N. 12 2023
Sipped neat at cask strength, this is where the mulberry-wood cask takes over completely — tobacco, salty licorice and a bacon-fat smokiness that one taster calls "speckig-rauchig." Underneath sits blackberry fruit and a little vanilla, but the wood runs the show. It's part of an experimental single-cask project, and members enjoyed exploring it more than they loved it straight.
The community says- Rare mulberry cask
- Salty licorice
- Less suitable for: anyone wanting an easy, fruit-forward sipper

How does Wagemut Fasssprache: Mulberry Rum N. 12 2023 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Woody, tobacco-heavy cask experiment for the curious Members find the rare mulberry cask fascinating but heavy-handed — the wood and tobacco dominate a young base rum. Interesting to taste, though several say it's a bit too much tobacco.

Cask talk No. 12 Mulberry vs. No. 01 Base Rum. The additional 6 months in the new-make mulberry wood cask have darkened the color by a full 10 shades. Nose: you can tell it's a highly aromatic wood. It takes over completely. The rum now seems older and more mature than the base. No longer alcoholic and with lime and caramel notes. Now it is spicy-woody, has a slightly medicinal - plaster - note at the start, then gets a distinct tobacco note. Plus sweetness from crystal sugar. The fruit goes into berry territory, blackberry. It's good. 7.9 Palate: clear transformation of the base, even though the basic aromas remain similar. The sweetness intensifies towards salty, soft licorice and the slight smokiness moves towards intense tobacco notes. These are accompanied by oily-bacon-like tonka bean. Nicely intense, but a bit too much tobacco. 7.7
Review by Mirco
Wagemut Cask Language Project (Cask Strength) It is to be expected that for such a project the best possible rum is not used. The base rum is comparatively spirited without special characteristics. 1st Flight: Base Rum / all Oaks Interesting how much the differences in individual oak types are. Mizunara especially surprised me. 2nd Flight: Base Rum / Special Woods Incredibly different, everything from bad to good was there. Many thanks for this interesting project.
Review by Jarek
Daring cask language, 16 times the same base rum aged in barrels each made of different wood. Very interesting project (thanks to Flo for sharing). Very peculiar, with slightly medicinal notes and rather on the spicy side, but good.
Review by Tschusikowsky
Absolutely great project. I only learned about it through the Rum X campaign. It's a lot of fun to explore. The YouTube videos are super informative too. Good choice of base product, good alcohol integration. American: classic 6.3 German: spicy-woody 6.6 French: velvety-oily 7.3 Kiri: surprise 7.4 Mizunara: good complexity 7 Walnut: little influence 6 Chestnut: not so distinctive 6 Mulberry: iodine/smoky 6.2 Cherry: dense 6.8 Pear: normal 6 Ash: orange 6.1 Tokaji: sawdust Caucasian: woody, fruity, fresh 6.4 Carpatian: European Bourbon 7.4 Acacia: multi-layered 7 A somewhat longer maturation would have been even better to bring out the nuances more. But that’s something you have to manage first. Overall, there are already remarkable differences in how it developed. Hats off for the project, very fun and interesting.
Review by Johannes
Again a bit bacon-smoky, light vanilla.
Review by StefanR
Das Mulberry-Finish ist ein kühner und aromatisch kompromißloser Auftritt innerhalb der Fasssprache-Reihe. Die seltene Maulbeere bringt tiefgründige, dunkle Aromen - würzig, rauchig, elegant - und transformiert die Basis deutlich. Für Freunde von charismatischen, strukturreichen und herb-holzigen Profilen ist dieser Rum ein echtes Highlight.
