N. Kröger Wagemut Fasssprache: Caucasian Oak Rum N. 07 2023
Part of a for-fun experiment: one Trinidad base rum split across sixteen different oak casks, and this is the Caucasian oak version. Six extra months in new Caucasian oak darkened it a lot and pushed the fruit from lime and green apple toward passionfruit and maple-syrup sweetness. The palate turns woody and spicy — nutmeg, licorice, a salty-smoky "speckige" bacon note. At 63% the alcohol runs a touch hot, and several tasters wished the cask had a bit longer to settle in.
The community says- Earthy Caucasian oak
- But: Alcohol runs hot

How does N. Kröger Wagemut Fasssprache: Caucasian Oak Rum N. 07 2023 taste?
Aggregated from 10 community reviews.
Woody, spicy cask-experiment rum at full proof Most rate it fair rather than special — an interesting cask-experiment pour more than a standalone bottle. Fun to explore, but the young base and hot alcohol hold it back.

Review by Frank
Fasssprache N. 07 Caucasian Oak vs. N. 01 Basis Rum. Die 6 zusätzlichen Monate im new-make Eichenfass aus dem Kaukasus-Gebirge haben die Farbe um 8 Stufen dunkler werden lassen. Nase: zu Beginn kurz alkoholisch, aber weniger als die Basis, auch weniger pfefferig, dafür fruchtiger und süßlicher. Die Frucht wandelt sich von Limette und grünem Apfel mehr Richtung süß-säuerlicher Maracuja. Hinzu kommt eine angenehme Ahornsirup-Süße mit einer fein rauchigen Tabak-Note . Angenehm. 7,5 Gaumen: starker Fasseinfluß, holziger, würziger, voller. Zu Beginn auch bitter-salzig, aber schnell intensiver in Richtung Muskat und Lakritze, diese gibt auch eine herbe, speckige Süße, die intensiver als die der Basis ist. Kräftig-herb-süß, gut. 7,5
Review by Johannes
Wenig Fasseinfluss, Alkohol könnte besser eingebunden sein.
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). Irgendwo zwischen den fruchtigen No. 3 bis 5 und dem würzigen No. 2. Von den Fässern mit „Oak“ im Namen haben mir American Oak und Caucasian Oak noch am besten gefallen.
