Wagemut Fasssprache: Carpathian Oak Rum N. 05 2023
Part of the Wagemut Fasssprache project — the same Trinidad base rum aged an extra six months in different woods, this one in new-make Carpathian oak. Members find it spicy, earthy and dry: nutmeg, lime peel, green apple and a woody, peppery backbone, with a touch of caramel and vanilla the base lacks. At 62.2% the alcohol stays sharp. Most agree the cask adds character but not a huge amount.
The community says- Dry woody spice
- But: Sharp at 62%
- But: Modest cask impact

How does Wagemut Fasssprache: Carpathian Oak Rum N. 05 2023 taste?
Aggregated from 10 community reviews.
Spicy, dry cask-strength oak experiment A fun exploration bottle more than a knockout pour. Several tasters say the extra oak rounds it slightly but doesn't transform a fairly spirit-forward, unremarkable base rum.

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 Frank
Fasssprache N. 05 Carpathian-Oak vs. N. 01 Basis Rum. Die 6 zusätzlichen Monate im new-make Eichenfass aus dem Kaparten-Gebirge haben die Farbe um 6 Stufen dunkler werden lassen. Nase: kommt zu Beginn ebenfalls alkoholisch daher, mit der Zeit kommen süßlich-säuerliche Aromen von Limette, grünem Apfel und Kumquat und zwar intensiver als bei der Basis. Wirkt auch weicher, karamelliger mit mehr Vanille. Deutlich weniger Pfeffer, angenehme Mischung aus Würze und Süße. 7,2 Gaumen: bitter-salzig und holzig-würzig. Dicht an der Basis, nicht so scharf-pfeffrig, aber ebenfalls Muskat neben Limettenschale und grünem Apfel. Ein Hauch Anis kommt hinzu. Wirkt etwas runder und gehaltvoller, das Fass fügt dem Rum aber auch nicht so viel hinzu. 6,8
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). Insgesamt ähnlich zu No. 4 Gernan Oak. Die Frucht ist noch da, etwas Süsse und Karamell kommen hinzu. Alkohol bleibt recht scharf.
Review by Johannes
Insgesamt wenig Fasseinfluss, fast wie der Basisrum.
