N. Kröger Wagemut Special Edition Homebase 2021

Red wine and grape lead here more than the rum itself — a Barbados molasses spirit finished in a red wine cask, with honey, vanilla and a bit of chocolate underneath. Several tasters call it an easy sipper with an interesting finish, but many also find it thin, a touch sweet, and the 51.5% not fully tucked in.

The community says
  • Fruity wine-cask nose
  • Honey and vanilla
  • Alcohol not integrated

Aggregated from 46 community reviews.

Fruity red-wine-finished sipper, a bit thin Most see a pleasant, fruity easy sipper lifted by the red wine cask. The recurring gripes: alcohol not well integrated, a thin body, and it leans one-dimensional and slightly sweet.

Ein fruchtiges Aroma, etwas Vanille, leicht alkoholisch. Der Geschmack ist fruchtig, hat eine relativ hohe Süße, im Abgang etwas brennend und wärmend.

Damn! Great deal! Light and smooth but a lot of flavoures to taste. Even the alkohol is over average the taste is not "pure alkohol". However great rum!

This rum immediately reminds me of honey with fruit on the nose and especially because of the grapey notes of a wine finish (Sauternes or Sherry). Vanilla and chocolate also present. In the mouth sweet honey, spices and alcoholic spiciness. Unfortunately, that's about it, as the whole mouthfeel including the finish is rather thin. The wine is always present.

Viel Rotwein und viel Holz. Der Alkohol ist einigermaßen gut eingebunden. Er ist am Ende ein wenig eintönig, weil der Rotwein und das Holz zu arg dominieren. Aber als Daily Sipper passt er schon :-)
