Wagemut Maduro (Aficionado Collection)

Opinions swing hard here: some call it a near-perfect dessert sipper, others hit a wall of sugar and taste mostly sherry. What's agreed on is the profile — thick, oily, loaded with raisin, walnut and dark fruit, with the walnut cask coming through on the finish. The 47.6% is well integrated. Many pair it with a cigar, where the heavy sweetness earns its keep.

Derr Wagemut Maduro ist ein süßer Einsteiger Rum für süß mäuler . Wunderbar harmonisch schön mild , süß und zugänglich . Preislich etwas zu teuer für meinen Geschmack aber dennoch sehr gut.

Last of the three "Aficionado" I tried and I have to say: no, Niko, it doesn't taste good! Nose: full volume, full-bodied, lots of old brandy. Plus various sweet, dried fruits, mainly prunes and raisins, plus dried dates and apricots. Underneath everything is a heavy sweetness of maple and treacle. Not unpleasant overall. 7,2 Palate: and again just sugar. Insanely sweet with prunes and dried, sticky dates. That's it, neither the Trinidad rum nor the walnut barrel get a chance. Only for sweet rum drinkers and Kröger fans. 2,0

Ein sehr guter Tropfen, bei dem man sowohl die langen Jahre in Trinidad als auch das Walnuss Finish herausschmeckt. Etwas Kaffee und etwas Tabak ist auch mit dabei mit viel Rosine und Würze. Gefällt mir gut und ist von den drei Rums der neuen Wagemut Linie mein Platz 2.

Der große, intensivere Bruder vom PX Cask. Fruchtiger, etwas süßer, milder, runder. Sehr sehr geiler Dessert-Rum / Spirit Drink, ziemlich teuer (teuerste Spirituose die ich mir gegönnt habe bislang) aber schlussendlich doch wert. Kommt für meinen aktuellen Pur-Geschmack der Perfektion schon ziemlich nahe. Drinks: - Pur: 5/5 - Rum Punch: 3/5

Insich ein abgestimmter runder Rum. Die Holz- und Fruchtnoten ergänzen sich klasse. Der Alkohol ist nicht zu dominant, der Abgang könnte etwas länger sein. Die Konsistenz ist ölig dick, das gefällt mir persönlich immer sehr gut.

My clear favorite among the new Aficionado Collection. Beautiful sherry influence, dark, earthy tones and an intense sweetness. Very nicely integrated alcohol. An ideal companion to a cigar.

Expert review by Zucker und Zeste

The Maduro is powerfully sweet, but also has an alcoholic punch, so it is not an absolute lightweight. This suits the idea of pairing it with a cigar. After all, you need something that can counter the cigar, but also harmonizes well with it - the strong sweetness and dominant raisin flavours help here.
