Review by Frank
Barrel language N. 04 German Oak vs. N. 01 Basis Rum. The 6 additional months in the new-make oak barrel have darkened the color by 8 levels. So between Amarican Oak and Frech Oak. Nose: very similar to the base. Alcoholic sharpness at the beginning with lime and green apple. Perhaps a little sweeter. In contrast to the first two oaks and the base, a slight smoky or tobacco note comes through here, which becomes increasingly clear. Now that's interesting. 7,2 Palate: more delicate than American and French, less sweet but just as spicy and woody. But here too much closer to the base. Bitter at the start, slightly bacony, some liquorice. Also nutmeg, but less pepper and less fruity. I assume that the denser pores of the slow-growing German oak allow the cask to have a less intensive effect here. Overall, it has little influence. 7,0
Review by Johannes
Beautifully round. The fresh oak is more subtle than the other oaks.
Review by Tschusikowsky
Absolutely great project. Only learned about it through the Rum X action. A lot of fun to explore. The YT videos are also super informative. 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: multilayered 7 A somewhat longer maturation would have been even better to bring out the nuances more. But you have to manage that first. Overall, already remarkable differences in how it developed. Hats off for the project, very fun and interesting.
Review by Mirco
Daring cask language project (Cask Strength) It is to be expected that the best possible rum is not used for such a project. The base rum is comparatively spritzy without special character. 1st Flight: Base Rum / all Oaks Interesting how much the differences are between individual oak types. Mizunara surprised me especially. 2nd Flight: Base Rum / Special Woods Insanely different, everything from bad to good was included. Many thanks for this interesting project.
Review by Jarek
Daring barrel language, 16 times the same basic rum stored in barrels each made of different wood. Very interesting project (thanks to Flo for sharing). Fruitier than No. 2 and 3, sweeter on the palate. But somehow more alcoholic than No. 2 and No. 3.
Review by StefanR
A finely balanced experiment that shows: German oak can give the base rum structure - but without reshaping it. The influence of German oak is noticeably finer, less sweet and fruity than American or French oak and instead brings an elegant bitterness, fine spice and subtle smoky character into play. For purists who appreciate deep aromatic complexity, this finish is a surprisingly restrained but aromatically exciting contribution to the barrel language series.
