N. Kröger Wagemut Fasssprache: Base Rum Rum N. 01 2023
Sharp lemon and lime hit first, chased by green apple, black currant and a hot alcoholic bite that reminds you it's only 3 years old at 63%. This is the deliberately plain base rum of Wagemut's Fasssprache wood-experiment set — young, spirity, with nutmeg and black pepper on the palate. Give the alcohol a minute and citrus zest comes through. Meant as a blank canvas, not a finished sipper.
The community says- Fresh citrus core
- But: Very spirity
- But: Tastes young

Review by Frank
Ich mache mich mal Schritt für Schritt an das super interessante Fasssprache-Projekt von Nicolas; natürlich an das mit guten 63%. Dank an Alex für‘s Teilen. Fange ich mal mit dem Basis-Rum an… Nase: zunächst stark alkoholisch und alkoholisch-scharf; ist ja auch erst 3yo. Ist der Alkohol erst mal verflogen, kommen fruchtige Aromen hervor. Zitrone und Limette, dazu grüner Apfel und süß-saure Schwarze Johannisbeeren. Mit der Zeit wird er weicher, bekommt karamellige Noten hinzu, fast Toffee und dazu Banane, begleitet von Holz und Vanille. Hat viel vom Bourbon-Fass. 7,1 Gaumen: alkoholisch und bitter-salzig zu Beginn. Ordentlich Muskat und schwarzer Pfeffer, bevor Apfel, Limettenschale und etwas Mirabelle hinzukommen. Wirkt jung, röstig und etwas speckig. 6,5 Brauch definitiv mehr Reife, um gut zu sein, eignet sich aber sehr gut als Grundlage für dieses Projekt. Bin gespannt…
Review by Johannes
Leider sehr sprittig, viel Neutralalkohol.
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). Der Basis-Rum ist keine Offenbarung, daher muss man auch von den andern 15 keinen Hochgenuss erwarten. Auf der anderen Seite sollte die Basis vielleicht möglichst neutral sein, damit die Fasseinflüsse besser schmeckbar sind. Insgesamt keine Probe dabei, von der ich mehr bräuchte, aber trotzdem super-interessant und toll umgesetzt. Die Bewertung spiegelt eher meine persönliche Reihenfolge innerhalb der 16 Proben und taugt weniger zum Vergleich mit üblichen Abfüllungen.
