N. Kröger Wagemut Colorado (Aficionado Collection)

"Komischer Rum, aber lecker" is how one member put it, and that captures the split. A Barbados rum finished in Japanese Mizunara casks, which shows as green apple, ginger and young wood — but then a heavy dose of sugar, vanilla and coconut rolls over it. Some find it round and cigar-friendly; others feel the sweetness buries the cask work they came for.

This Barbados rum with a Mizunara finish is the best of the new Wagemut line. Very round and balanced and a fine taste with subtle fruitiness, spice and young wood. The alcohol is perfectly integrated.

Das Projekt Fasssprache vom Nikolas fand ich echt sehr interessant und sehr gut. Mal sehen, was er aus der Nachnutzung einzelner Fässer so macht. Das Interessante an dieser Abfüllung ist sicherlich das Mizunara-Fass, wobei ich durch den üblichen Barbados-Rum und die sehr geringen % keine großen Erwartungen habe. Nase: wirkt trotz des geringen Abv zu Beginn alkoholisch und metallisch. Jetzt kommen aber feine fruchtige Aromen durch; grüner Apfel, leicht Birne und etwas Limette. Hinzu kommt eine leichte Würzigkeit, ohne etwas genaueres auszumachen. Im Hintergrund ist dazu eine leichte Süße von Zitronat und Karamell sowie Vanille zu finden, die mit der Zeit mehr und mehr zusammen mit einer schokoladigen Textur in den Vordergrund kommt. Insgesamt aber relativ zurückhaltend. 7,0 Gaumen: oha, da ist aber eine Menge Dosage hineingeraten, sehr süß, Zuckersirup oder Ahornsirup, überlagert alles. Dahinter nur noch Vanille und Karamell. Im Abgang kommt noch etwas grüner Apfel hinzu. Da steht Mizunara drauf, ist aber gefühlt mit Zucker drin. Dafür viel zu teuer. Wird aber sicherlich seine Süßrum-Freunde finden. 4,8

Für mich etwas neues. Leicht und spritzig, es riecht nach Frühling, nach Äpfel und Birnen, nach frischem Holz und etwas Ingwer. Und das ganz alleine vom japanischen Mizunara Fass. Im Mund zuerst der Apfel, dann Birne und Ingwer. Zuletzt Vanille und Kokosnuss vom Barbados Rum. Einfach lecker.

Ich hatte mir zwecks mizunara cask finish Recht hohe Erwartungen Gesetzt, bin aber durch den hohen Zuckergehalt leider enttäuscht worden. Ich verstehe beim besten Willen nicht warum man 18y alten Foursquare rum in einem mizunara Fass finisht und dann Vanilleschoten zusetzt und Zucker zusetzt. Das mizunara Fass zum ist noch dezent erkennbar mit den für mich typischen Noten von Ingwer, Pfeffer, grünem Apfel und minimal Floralen Noten, wird aber von der Vanille und der ganzen süße gänzlich überdeckt. Sehr schade. Hätte ein tolles Experiment werden können. Insbesondere für 120€ erwarte ich mehr...

Rather restrained compared to the other two bottlings. Sweetened ginger sticks and a pleasant coconut note.

Am Gaumen merkt man schon durch die zähflüssige Konsistenz einen wahrscheinlich hohen Zuckeranteil. Insgesamt sehr rund, angenehm, sehr süß, etwas wenig Geschmack, etwas bitteres Holz, Walnuss und Alkohol, kurzer Abgang. Zur Zigarre sicher passend.
