Wagemut Special Edition 2025 2005
Several members call it a proper sipper that eases you into cask strength without knocking you over. Raisins, caramel and dark cherry lead, with roasted wood and a sweet, almost syrupy body that reminds a few tasters of a PX cask. The 54.6% is the sticking point: some find the alcohol nicely tucked in, others say it bites in the nose and turns sharp on the palate.
The community says- Raisin & caramel
- Gentle first cask str.
- But: Alcohol can bite

Sweet, raisiny cask-strength sipper for beginners Most land on a well-liked, sweet sipper and a friendly first cask-strength pour; the recurring caveat is that the alcohol isn't always cleanly integrated.

On the nose, roasted wood notes like caramel, burnt sugar, leather, toffee, metallic patina, thick molasses, flowery, citrus fruits, slightly alcoholic, bump into our nostrils. On aeration, fruits like raisins, dried apricots, prunes, cherry arise, resinous, smoky, spicy wood with vanilla, cocoa and some tobacco. On the palate, the attack is sharp, alcoholic with sweet roasted wood notes like burnt sugar, caramel, dark chocolate, roasted nuts, spicy with vanilla, peppery, later syrupy with slightly bitter molasses, herbaceous and fruity with dried fruits, cherry and citrus fruits. The finish is medium long, more round, balanced, dry & tannic, metallic, sweet with the notes from the palate lingering on. Edit: 15.6.26, an upgrade by 0.1

Ein Einsteigerum ohne grosse Tiefe und Komplexität. Am Gaumen alkoholisch, scharf und vor allem süss und Noten von getrockneten Früchten. Mittellanger Abgang wobei vor allem die Süsse bleibt. Es scheint, dass die 20 Jahre Reifung vor allem kontinental erfolgt ist. Vielleicht als Mixer zu verwenden.
Review by Timo Groeger
Kann es kaum erwarten, dass die Tour gleich losgeht. Hier der nächste Rum, den man als tollen Sipper bezeichnen kann. Leichte Süße ist hier dank Vanillebund Karamell vorhanden, aber auch leicht fruchtig, kirsche ist erkennbar.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Leider fällt direkt schon an der Nase eine recht stechende Alkoholische Note auf, welche sich am Gaumen fortsetzt. Scharfkantig und schneidend, dazu unnatürlich süß (rosinig und karamellisiert) vermutlich vom Pineau des Charentes finish. Insgesamt eher unausbalanciert muss ich leider sagen...
Review by Rumantisch
Ein toller Rum, selbst für Leute die noch keine Erfahrungen mit Fassstärke haben sehr zukömmlich. Fruchtige Rosinen Noten mit leichter Röstigkeit . Jeden wo ich bisher diesen Rum angeboten habe war total begeistert.
Review by Beach-and-Rum 🏖️🌴
Ein wirklich gelungener Rum der einen guten Übergang vom Einstieg, in die Welt der Fassstärke bietet ohne zu überfordern. Trotzdem kann man viele verschiedene Komponenten wahrnehmen. Für 75 Euro ein gutes Preis Leistungsverhältnis..
Review by F.L.O.
Ordentlicher Rum, mit einem Schwung cremigkeit-süße. Aber dennoch nicht (mehr) mein Fall. Guter Einstieg fûr Neulinge in den Cask strength Bereich. Update (2 Monate später): Geht einen Punkt nach oben…mehr ist nicht drin.
Review by David Riek
Eine Granate und das zum Superpreis von 75 Euro, resp. für die Members im Abo erhalten. In der Nase sehr intensiv und fruchtig, zu Beginn "beisst" der Alkohol leicht in der Nase, nach ca. 30min im Blenders-Glas verkostet.
Review by Johannes
Ganz schön süß, hat Ähnlichkeit mit dem Px Cask. Alkohol könnte besser eingebunden sein. Aber ein netter Sipper.
Review by Marcus Thelen
Der Alkohol in Fassstärke ist hervorragend eingebunden und sticht nicht in der Nase oder im Mund. Toller Rum für einen Aabend mit Freunden.
Review by FischeJ
Sipper, süß, süffig. Alkohol etwas zu präsent.
