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.

Summarized by AI from community reviews.

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.

fans of herb-woody, smoky cask experiments

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

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.
