Sipped neat is really the only way in here — at 67.4% this young Ghana rum hits like a tropical fruit bomb: overripe pineapple, melon, plum, plus a fruit-schnapps edge that has a few tasters thinking Obstler or even plum slivovitz. The Hampden finish adds roasted wood and ester bite. Fun and unusual, but it's hot, kratzig, and needs taming with water.
The community says- Intense tropical fruit
- Unusual Ghana terroir
- Keep in mind: Fiery, young

How does Rumclub Private Selection Ed. 28 Cudjoe (Aged Ghana Rum) taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Young, fiery Ghana fruit bomb with Hampden bite Most find it a fascinating fruit-forward oddity from an unusual origin, but young and fiery. Several who tasted it beside the sister "Nanny" bottle preferred Nanny's more integrated fruit.

The Hampden finish takes away in my eyes something the essence of Ghana, priced in my eyes unfortunately exaggerated with 119€ for 0.5 liters.

Trade fair evaluation: Village'23 Despite its very young age, a real explosion, the Hampden finish is clearly evident. I was pleasantly surprised, but I'm still unsure whether the price justifies it. Good but still a little too impetuous, but the DOK finish comes through clearly
Review by Timo Groeger
Nice rum club, I like it a lot. The nose is predominantly fruity, but also slightly pungent and the fruit seems overripe. Also very fruity on the palate, pineapple is prominent here, also mineral. Alcohol well integrated.
Review by LukaŽiga
8,4:On the nose,the first impression we get is very fruity with esters. There are overripe tropical fruits like pineapple, melon, that quickly melt in delicious marmelade with a pinch of a lemon and some vegetal notes. Aeration brings out roasted wood and candied fruits, honeyed and waxy with some vanilla and mint. After some rest, we could think, that we scent fruit schnapps, later maybe even whisky. Nicely balanced. 8,3:On the palate, the attack is very fruity with esters, a bit spicy and salty. We get some tasty plum, pineapple, cherries, green apple. It quickly becomes dry, a bit mineral, woody, the wood is roasted and toasted. The molasses gives us inevitable bitter touch with vegetal notes like olive. After a while, our tasting buds are very pleased with chocolate notes, roasted nuts... When well rested, it is going towards floral notes, some hay and we could taste a cherry, citrus and some anise. 8:The finish is fruity with cherry, raspberries, banana, woody, dry, spicy and a bit mineral. The molasses brings us some vegetal notes, some bitterness....

Review by Thunderbird
So, Ghana the 2.te. Oh, what a fruity nose...there is little room for other flavors, maybeinoch sweet candied fruit and something floral...more I do not discover.The palate comes at first quite brute therefore, the alcohol britzelt neat on the tongue and stunned them something...gradually develop sweet fruit notes, but also salty and red pepper!The finish is slightly alcoholic and peppery...some time later develops a sweet plum note...This rum is quite exotic, but unfortunately not mine
Review by Christoph
Remains unfortunately clearly behind the first edition which was a Ghana-HD Blend. Here it is just a finish. I think with a little more age this rum from Ghana could present its fruit notes at less alcohol even better.
Review by Boletus
Clearly marked by yellow fruits, despite youth and high alcohol strength surprisingly little alcoholic moments. The finishing in the Hampden cask has left recognizable traces, but the fruity result with its light roasted notes is quite impressive. Quite a beast that gives me a lot of fun in the glass when in the right mood!
Review by Jakob
Young and fresh, quite exciting, but unfortunately still accompanied by quite impetuous alcohol. Could use a counterpole by heavy notes and some taming of the alcohol to soar to higher spheres. Nevertheless, an exciting basic product.
Review by Johannes
I liked Nanny very much. Unfortunately, I currently have nothing more of it as a comparison. This rum is again very special with yeast, esters, fruit and a light Hampden finish. Very successful!
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Mega abgespaceder tropical fruit cocktail! Personally, a little too spicy and too Obstler lastig but the basic flavor of lychee, pineapple etc. is the hammer!
Review by HenryL
Restrained smell of sweet and sour fruits.On the palate, thanks to the 67.4% very strong, spicy and mineral with a fruity sweetness, sweeter than the Nanny.The nose is restrained, but I like it better than the Nanny because of the much weaker olive note. Flavor-wise, the Nanny is definitely more exciting and complex, but I personally like the profile from the Cudjoe a bit better undiluted. With a few drops, the Nanny but clearly catches up.With a few drops of water, the nose comes out a little more and gains fresh notes.In the taste now dominate fruity notes.
Review by mto75
it is of course obvious to dig out the Nanny bottle again (had hidden in the back of the cupboard) and compare it with its brother. What I find most interesting about the comparison is that with the Ghana rum in one hand, the Ghana component of the Nanny in the other hand is now also easier to discern. Honestly, though, I also have to say that the Cudjoe is a bit boring on the nose, and that's despite the pimped HD finish (the Ed.17). To put it another way, the Jamaica/Ghana blend on the Nanny is just really good, a constant interplay between fermented/sour and fruity/lovely. Also on the palate I'm more with the Nanny, the Cudjoe comes across a bit scratchy...sure, a Ghana rum there is not every day, but better I find the blend.
Review by Frank
This is clearly an interesting combination. Young Ghanaian with HD finish. And then with neat % and single cask.Nose: intense and fermented-fruity. Through it also with a slight vinegar impact. First thing I find is overripe honeydew melon with green apple and grape. Overall sweetish with honey and syrup but also vegatible with pickled olives and dull geranium. Finely smoky and slightly chocolaty at the back. Different, but good because of it.Palate: oha, the 67% demands properly here. And the HD barrel makes itself felt right away with esters. Dry and astringent at the start, then bitter and salty before green apple, pineapple and finally proper plum come through. Also seems woody-spicy, licorice with slightly charred plastic.Not easy, but interesting
Review by Mike H.
Nice rum but the HD finish is quite overwhelming and I find it difficult to taste much else.
Review by Pavel Spacek
Yes, Ghana rum is similar to Czech plum vidka called slivovice.
Review by Gregor
What a great fruit bomb. I am completely surprised.
Review by Lukas Jäger
The brother of the popular Nanny, quasi the funny great uncle - per se already good conditions, in addition Rum from Ghana again something new, at least individually, at least for me. The proximity to Nanny is also quite present and recognizable. Powerful, even biting esters and an almost brute force on the tongue. At the same time, I also find it difficult to classify it somehow. The first associations go to Jamaica, but somehow it also reminds me of Obstler in the nose, the rum seems very young. On the palate then also notes that make me think distantly of Fiji, at the same time it now seems older than the Nanny. This is exciting, it tastes good. However, the rum also wants to be tamed, an easy sipper is not,, fun it is anyway!
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
In the run-up I heard, you can not compare the Cudjoe with his sister Nanny. Is also a bit absurd with siblings of different sex 😉 But I notice already on the nose at least a common DNA. Overripe, tropical fruit. Especially the nanny can clearly come up with that. Its brother is a bit more restrained. On the palate, the Cudjoe lets its big brother hang out, in other words: somehow more grown-up, more mature, drier. This must be due to the storage and the somewhat higher ABV. Conclusion: As a straight man, I can't get out of my skin: I like the young, impetuous Nanny a bit better than its somewhat more detached brother Cudjoe. But even he will find his lovers.
Review by primus
Cool progression with this rum. The HD cask is immediately present on the nose. Great fruitiness, followed after a while by oak barrels. Similar taste, only much more intense. Excellently integrated alcohol.
Review by DosenZorn
Tasty rum. Surprisingly good for the unusual origin. Price/performance is however below average.
Review by Michael Ihmels 🇩🇪
Spirit of Rum Rumclub. Very solid rum with 67.4 percent alcohol. Rum is fruity...a bit spicy in the aftertaste. Nevertheless, I quite like this rum and you can't go wrong.
Review by Buddudharma
Tasted in direct comparison with Nanny of the Maroons. Nanny clearly wins by more fruitiness and a better integrated alcohol. In addition, the PLV of the Cudjoe is a disaster...
Review by Michal Jurka
I usually don't really like young and wild rums but this one is among the top I have tasted. And unusual terroir as well.
