N. Kröger Wagemut Fasssprache: Carpathian Oak Rum N. 05 2023
Several tasters frame this as a fun experiment more than a knockout pour: a young Trinidad molasses rum given six extra months in new Carpathian oak. You get woody spice, nutmeg, lime peel and green apple, with a little caramel and vanilla. The catch most people land on is that the cask adds less than you'd hope, and at 62.2% the alcohol stays sharp.
The community says- Woody, dry spice
- Sharp alcohol heat
- Little cask impact

How does N. Kröger Wagemut Fasssprache: Carpathian Oak Rum N. 05 2023 taste?
Aggregated from 10 community reviews.
Spicy, woody, hot — light cask impact Most see it as an interesting project rather than a great rum on its own. Spicy, woody and dry, but the cask barely moves it off the base, and the heat runs hot.

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 Johannes
Insgesamt wenig Fasseinfluss, fast wie der Basisrum.
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). Insgesamt ähnlich zu No. 4 Gernan Oak. Die Frucht ist noch da, etwas Süsse und Karamell kommen hinzu. Alkohol bleibt recht scharf.
