The Wagemut x Cognac Expert is a limited release rum produced in Barbados at the renowned Foursquare distillery, in collaboration with Cognac Expert. Distilled from molasses using both pot and column stills, this rum is aged for 12 years and 6 months. N. Kroger, the independent bottler, selected just 1903 bottles for this exclusive release, each with a 43.6% ABV. The rum undergoes a unique double finishing process: first in three Cognac barrels from the Moisans distillery, followed by French oak barrels that previously held Pineau des Charentes. This intricate aging method imparts a distinct flavor profile, harmonizing classic Barbados aromas with layers of gourmet fruit, toasty notes, tannins, and a touch of spice. The aroma of the Wagemut x Cognac Expert is powerful and exotic, featuring notes of herbs, grass, dried fruits, and cake. On the palate, it is rich and full-bodied, presenting grassy, sweet, and berry fruit flavors, with well-integrated acidity and a hint of anise. The finish is medium-long and balanced, leaving a fading impression of the initial aromas. This rum offers a unique and enjoyable drinking experience, especially for those new to the world of rum. Its fruity, spicy, and cognac finish is a highlight, making it an excellent choice for beginners seeking a slightly spicy and sweet rum. The collaboration between Wagemut and Cognac Expert aims to integrate rum into the culture of the Charente and Cognac regions.
