Review by Frank
Barrel language N. 02 American Oak vs. N. 01 Base Rum. The first thing you notice is that the 6 additional months in the new-make oak barrel have darkened the color by 7 levels. Nose: appears much riper and rounder, significantly less alcoholic spiciness, the new cask has added a lot of vanilla and a pleasant sweetness. Honey or maple syrup. It also enhances the banana. Sour, spicy tones recede into the background, soft, caramelly tones come to the fore. A total win. 7,8 Palate: full-bodied, sweetish with a strong spicy-woody boost at the beginning. Here too, the originally young, alcoholic character is softened and rounded by the oak barrel. The coarse, bitter citrus fruit notes change a little into woody, nutty bitter notes. Some cassis is added, which is accompanied by dark chocolate and nutmeg. Nice oak barrel influence. 7,6
Review by Johannes
Man schmeckt deutlich die frische Eiche raus mit viel Vanillin. Richtig spannend!
Review by Mirco
Wagemut Fasssprache Projekt (Cask Strenght) Zu erwarten ist, dass für solch ein Projekt nicht der best-mögliche Rum verwendet wird. Der Basis Rum ist vergleichsweise spritig ohne besondere Ausprägung. 1.Flight: Base Rum / alle Oaks Interessant, wie sehr doch die Unterschiede bei einzelnen Eichen-Arten sind. Mizunara hat mich besonders überrascht. 2.Flight: Base Rum / Spezial Hölzer Wahnsinnig unterschiedlich, von schlecht zu gut war alles dabei. Besten Dank für dieses interessantes Projekt.
Review by Jarek
Wagemut Fasssprache, 16 mal der gleiche Basis-Rum in Fässern aus jeweils unterschiedlichem Holz gelagert. Sehr interessantes Projekt (danke an Flo für das Teilen). In der Nase weniger fruchtig als der Basis-Rum. Dafür mehr Karamell und Vanille. Ähnlich auch am Gaumen, mehr Süsse und Karamell, dazu nussige Noten. Insgesamt besser und weicher.
