Whisky Dudes Cuban Rum 1973
If you already collect the wave of 50-year-old Cubans hitting the market, this fits right in. Raisins, vanilla and forest honey lead the nose; the palate turns creamy and softly sweet with plum, tobacco, milk chocolate, nuts and leather. The 51.9% is well tucked in. Loved for its smoothness — a few tasters just wish it had more complexity, and one found the finish drifting woody-hot.

How does Whisky Dudes Cuban Rum 1973 taste?
Aggregated from 16 community reviews.
Soft, sweet old Cuban with a short finish Most call it a rounded, easy old Cuban with beautifully integrated alcohol. The recurring catch is missing complexity, and a couple find the finish thin or slightly artificial.

Review by Johannes
Nose: wood, tobacco, vanilla, sweetness. Palate: very round, sweet, plum, tobacco, roasted aromas, wood, alcohol, sherry. Finish rather short. Overall, I was expecting more. Maybe it was sweetened a little or it has a sherry finish. Somehow I don't really warm to the Cubans. Perhaps they're not quite my favorite taste profile.
Review by Felix Reiber
After a long period of acclimatization, a very delicate, creamy impression comes to the nose. Barrel, rubber, caramel, nuts, dark fruits and tonka bean have the upper hand. Cubarum is not known for its intensity, but that would spoil the complexity here. On the palate, it is buttery smooth and has an ingenious consistency. Wood, dark caramel and rubber/machine fat are replaced by nuts, sulphur and leather, which then lead into great coffee/mocha flavors. Dates, raisins and milk chocolate accompany the whole. The long and delicate finish is characterized by barrel, nuts, leather and pleasant spices. It ends with chocolate, tonka bean and black tea. I love it when something smells and tastes completely different to anything I've tasted before and this worked perfectly here.
