Wu Dram Clan Cuban Rum 1992
Dried fig, raisin and dark chocolate up front, with a coffee-and-cocoa finish people keep coming back to. This is a 31-year-old Cuban from Wu Dram Clan at cask strength, and most tasters call it the best Spanish-style Cuban they've had — round, sweet and easy to drink despite the age. The honest knock: it's harmonious rather than deeply complex, and the finish fades a touch fast.
- Dried fruit & cocoa
- Hidden alcohol
- Round, easy sipping

Review by Joachim Guger
Sehr ölig, rotgoldene, tiefe Farbe. Massig getrocknete Früchte, würzig, holzig. Reichlich Karamell, Schokolade und eine Spur Süße. Ein Hauch Lösungsmittel. Sehr rund, sehr ausgewogen, aber nicht sehr komplex. Die Nase gefällt mir richtig gut.😀😀😀 Im Mund dann sehr würzig und holzig. Da sticht mal der Alkohol. Der Abgang ist schön und wärmt, bevor er etwas zu schnell vorbei ist. Es gibt Aufregenderes, aber ein perfekter Rum zum entspannt Genießen. Das ist dann wohl auch die qualitative Oberkante aus Kuba. Sehr gut.😀😀 Musik dazu: „…introducing Ruben Gonzales“. Meiner Meinung die beste aus der Buena Vista-Ära.🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺 Und danke nach 🇩🇪
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
The raisin aroma in the nose can also be found on the palate, but only in the middle section. Before that, I briefly taste something like the addition of vanillin from baking (thanks, Dirk, for the classification). After the really concise, pleasant taste of sweet raisins and dried apricot, I really like the wonderful cocoa and coffee finish, which can be felt for a long time in the empty glass. No alcohol perceptible on the nose at any time, great! Very dark color, but not - as one might expect - an oily, heavy texture, but rather light. My conclusion: A drinkable, round, elegant rum from start to finish, with no break between nose and palate, which is certainly a great match for a cigar. Due to the 1992 vintage in combination with the country of origin, this rum has an absolutely unique selling point. Is that what you call a unicorn? Whether it really is significantly better than the TWJ 1978 (from the same distillery in Santiago de Cuba, as I assume after tasting it) remains to be seen in a direct comparison. But I'm already sure that the guys from the Wu Dram Clan are to be congratulated once again on their excellent choice of cask. Recommendation! Update 2024-04-10: Finally direct tasting today against the Cuban 1978 from TWJ (RX17933) and the difference could hardly be greater. I see my earlier separate assessments confirmed: They may both come from the same distillery, but where I taste incisively fine cocoa in the 92, in the 78 it's just penetrating tasting damp, charred wood - like a campfire that was put out yesterday and got rain overnight. The 78 has simply been in the barrel too long.
Review by Lot-NAS
I am positively surprised, it is complex and balanced really good. Coffee (Mokka and Cappuccino), different sugars and caramel plus some spices are the main ingredients. If it weren’t for the slightly alcoholic finish with a bitterness I can’t really put a name on, this could be a close candidate for a 9.
Review by Rum Freund
Very palatable Cuban that invites you to pour more😊very tasty!
Review by Master P
Schöne und intensive Nase mit getrockneten Früchten und Kakao. Holz- und Ledernoten. Gut ausgewogen und reichhaltig. Am Gaumen getrocknete Früchte, Holz und Tabak. Leckere süße die mir hervorragend schmeckt. Alkohol ist kaum spürbar, sehr gut eingebunden. Sehr guter kubanischer Rum. Nicht billig aber lohnt sich.
Review by Dirk Becker
Top rum in the Spanish style, pleasantly drinkable with notes of raisins. Really good for such an old rum, which was produced in a rather light style.
Review by mto75
The WDC comes across beautifully on the nose with caramel, dried fruit, chocolate and baking mix. Very round and drinkable on the palate. I spontaneously like the WDC better than the TWJ Many Faces, which was very bitter on the finish (direct comparison to follow, there should still be some left in the sample...). The WDC is also a really nice companion to the cigar, which complements rather than dominates...
Review by DeMaddin
Sehr leckerer Cubaner, das Fass holt hier eine Menge aus dem Burschen. Der Wu Dram Clan hatte hier ein feines Näschen. Rund und süß in der Nase, mit den typischen Schoko-Kakao-Kaffee Noten mit einer ganz untypischen mentholartigen unterschwelligen Frische. Am Gaumen ebenfalls rund und weich, aber weniger fruchtig, hier übernimmt das Holz mit den eingebetteten Tanninen. Den Abgang würde ich im mittleren Segment einordnen , sonst würde er noch besser bewertet werden. Für einen im spanischen Stil hergestellten Rum, ein sehr, sehr gutes Ergebnis, Bravo!
Review by Blockzeitwilli
Schöne kräftige Nase: Dunkel und schwer. Melasse, getrocknete Früchte, dunkle Schokolade. Wunderbar. Geschmacklich und im Abgang wieder dunkle Schokolade, Früchte und Kaffee im Abgang. Eine wirklich sehr schöne Abfüllung.
Review by Thunderbird
Obwohl ich über Cuba auf den Genuss vom Rum gekommen bin, mag ich diesen Stil nicht mehr so sehr. Diese Abfüllung ist allerdings mal sehr gut, wenn auch kein Komplexmonster, so doch sehr reichhaltig, dunkel und schwer. Am Gaumen ist er zudem weich und leicht, so dass er auch größere Schlücke erlaubt. Cuba kann es doch noch !
Review by Dr.Django
A small but fine Cubatasting is on the agenda today. Ever since I tried the Valdespino, I've been looking for a similar profile (tobacco, leather, dark fruit, old wood, fireplace, light smoke, full-bodied, oily and fat texture) at cask strength. Let's see if we can find it here. A Venezuelan has also sneaked in =P 1st Plantation Cuba: Dances out of line in terms of color. Fruitier and not at all what I imagine my Cuban to be like. The sweetest and also by far the most boring of the tasting. 75 pts (second tasting: -2 pts) 2nd Rome Deluxe Cuba: A positive surprise at.first tasting and still very tasty. Has the aromas mentioned at the beginning, also some yellow fruits, plus slightly creamy and quite wild on the palate. Not overly complex, but very pleasing. 86 pts (second tasting: +2 pts) 3rd Wudramclan Cuba 1992: Tastes like the consistent evolution of Romdeluxe's Cuban. No longer as wild, somewhat more one-dimensional fruit aromas, much more leather and tobacco, some ash. Very short and fruity-ashy finish. 85 pts. 4th The Whisky Jury Cuba 1978: When this came out I had high hopes: great bottler, almost unbelievable key data, that color... In this comparison, it seems to me that the Cubans not only lose their impetuousness with age, but also their variety of aromas and structure. All the fruit in this rum is burnt, strangely enough this rum is very light on the tongue and not fat and oily as I had hoped. The tobacco, the wood and the fruit literally turn to ash in the mouth. Somehow I like that, but on the other hand it is not at all an upgrade to the Rom Deluxe Cuban, if you compare them directly. 85 pts (third tasting: -4 pts) 5th Cadenheads Dictador 26 yo: My Cuban in a Venezuelan coat! That's how I imagine it! Great aromas, great oily, fat structure. Tobacco, old wood, some ash (for me still and fitting in the aroma spectrum). <3 88 pts. Many thanks to Mto75 for the samples!
Review by Mentalo
Schöne Abfüllung des spanischen Stils und bislang der beste Kubaner den ich im Glas hatte. Er ist nicht sonderlich komplex, aber sehr harmonisch und gut ausbalanciert. Rosine, Vanille, Schokolade. Im Abgang etwas Kaffee und Holz.
Review by Beach-and-Rum 🏖️🌴
Ich bin froh mal wieder was schönes aus Kuba verkosten zu dürfen. Auch dieser hier gefällt mir wirklich gut. Nicht ganz so cremig und vollmundig wie der rx20297 aber trotzdem lecker. Bei den gegebenen Preisschildern auch ein nicht ganz fairer Vergleich.
Review by F.L.O.
What's going on here? CubaRum that tastes good? Doesn't exist :-) After Eminente, this is the second Cuban representative that would be suitable for drinking neat in the house bar. Chocolate, coffee, wood and caramel create a nice note on the palate. Mild and perfectly integrated alcohol. But the price is just not right. Really great for Cuba, but the price is a flop.
Review by Frank
Was feines am Ostersonntag 🐣 Danke Latscho für‘s teilen dieses sehr alten Cubaners. Nase: ich kenne normalerweise nur leichte, einfache und eher alkoholische Cubaner. Diese hier ist ganz anders. Vielschichtig, aromenreich und interessant. Würzig und holzig mit einer schönen und intensiven Kakao-Aromatik. Genauer, in ordentlich Kakao gerollte Banane. Dahinter alte Eiche und Vanille. Süße von braunem Karamell und Sirup von braunem Zucker. Weiterhin auch fruchtig mit getrockneter Aprikose, Zitronenschale und leicht Bitterorange, vielleicht auch ein bisschen schwarzer Johannisbeere. Hinten noch eine angenehme Maggi-Note. Eine schöne Nase. 8,7 Gaumen: fällt leider zur Nase deutlich ab. Hier finde ich die für mich doch typischeren Cuba-Assoziationen spanischen Stils. Metallisch-salzig-bitter mit viel Zitronen- und Orangenschale. Dazu passen grüner Apfel, etwas Kümmel und ein Hauch Jod. Allerdings findet sich auch der Kakao wieder und ein bisschen Rum-Rosine rundet etwas ab. Für Cuba top, für mich zu metallisch-bitter. 8,1
Review by DomM
I‘m pleasantly surprised by this bottling. Nice and intense nose with dried fruits (plum and apricots) as well as cacao and unsurprisingly wood and leathery notes. Well balanced and rich. On the palate again a nice first Impeession. Dried fruits, wood and tobacco. Much sweeter than expected though. Very nice. Only the finish isn’t my cup of tea: I get the sensation of artificial vanilla aroma (vanillin) here which I do not enjoy. While the rum is well balanced, at the very end the wood takes over a little bit too much. One of the best Cuban rums I had so far. Reminds me of the very old Santiagos but with more power and intensity.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Krasser alter Kubaner aus meinem Jahrgang. Viel Melasse und viel getrocknete Früchte wie Rosine, Feige und Gewürze wie Piment, Nelke und Zimt. Alkohol ist top integriert, aromatisch hat man hier sowohl süß, zart-bitter und leicht säuerlich. Sehr lecker aber insgesamt nicht mein Fall.
Review by Banana Joe
Die Farbe macht schon Lust auf mehr. Im Glas präsentiert sich dieser Cubaner sehr ölig und hinterlässt weit auseinander liegende Schlieren. In der Nase dann viel orientalisches Obst wie Datteln, Feige und Rosinen. Nach ein paar Minuten entwickelt sich dunkle Schokolade und milder Kaffee im Glas. Am Gaumen viel getrocknete Früchte und Schokolade. Sehr rund und weich, aber mir fehlt da irgendwie der Funk im Glas.
Review by Shridhar Acharya
Cake on the nose. Malty - reminded me of my childhood chocolate malt milk beverage. Some spices and flour like notes on the palate. Finish has a dry flour like texture - not unpleasant. There’s sweetness on the palate but nothing overpowering. The finish is dry and lingering.
Review by zabo
Am spontanen Cuba Abend traten der RX18823, der RX17933 und der RX20297 gegeneinander an. Für mich ist die Abfüllung von The Whisky Agency der Sieger. Alle sind eher auf der holzigen Seite und wirken ein wenig eindimensional. Der WuDram für mich auf den letzten Platz, da er eine unangenehme Säure im Geschmack hat.
