N. Kröger 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.

Aus der Afficionado Collection für mich der Beste, knapp vor dem Colorado. Dickflüssig und dunkel liegt er im Glas. Der Geruch nach Sherry, dunklen Früchten, dann leichten Holz- und Nusstönen. Er ist dickflüssig und verbreitet im Mund ein tolles weiches Gefühl. Schmeckt nach Sherry und Nüssen, etwas Holz und Tabak gesellt sich dazu. Der etwas höhere Alkoholgehalt von 47,6% steht ihm 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.

In der Nase noch angenehm und vielversprechend. Im Geschmack kommt dann die böse Überraschung: Pappsüß! Für mich ist diese Süße dermaßen dominant, dass ich kaum andere Aromen heraus bekommen kann. Der Abgang ist kaum vorhanden. Leider nicht meins.

Auf dem 13. GRF probiert und der absolute Tiefpunkt des Tages. Konnte mich kaum darauf konzentrieren da er fast schon ekelig war. Vielleicht war die Konkurrenz an dem Tag einfach zu hart aber ich habe hier nur ein Aromen Brei wahrgenommen der hart in die sehr süße, cremig, süffige Richtung geht. Wollte es einfach schnell beenden. Absolut spannend wie Fässer den Rum beeinflussen und auch vernichten können. Da bleibt ich lieber bei den Fass Experimenten von Artesano.

Ausgezeichneter Rum, die Nase schon kräftig fruchtig am Gaumen eine Wucht. Warm, rund, angenehm süß und perfekt zur einem MADURO Deckblatt. Langer Abgang mit fruchtigem Nachklang.

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.
