Wagemut PX-Cask Barbados Rum 70 cl 40,3%

There is a cask strength version of Wagemut's PX-Cask for the truly curious - but this edition, bottled at a more everyday strength, is where most people should start.

Expert Description

Wagemut PX-Cask Spirit Drink is a Spirit Drink with Barbados Rum, aged 10 years with a finishing period in Pedro Ximenez sherry casks, bottled at 40.3%.

The rum comes from Barbados and matures mainly in American white oak barrels in Germany at the German house Wagemut, before moving for its final three months into fresh PX sherry casks. This adds extra depth and nuance, while Wagemut's principles of authenticity and transparency ensure an honest production at every step. This edition is bottled with no added colour, but at a more approachable strength than the cask strength version.

The result is a well-balanced rum, where the Barbados character and the sherry cask's sweetness meet without the intensity that calls for dilution with water.
