At 56 years old you'd brace for a wall of oak, and the surprise here is how little there is. Members find fruit instead — cherry, plum, raisin — sitting in wood rather than buried by it. Round and oily on the palate, a touch of tobacco and faint chocolate, sweetness that reads natural. One taster wanted a longer, deeper finish and a little more tension, but most call this Cuban well worth trying.

The look inside the bottle
How does The Whisky Agency Very Fine Old Caribbean Rum 1968 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Fruity, balanced 56-year Cuban, softer than its age The consensus is a graceful old Cuban that stays fruity and balanced instead of turning oaky. Marked down only for a finish some wish ran longer and deeper.

Review by ArminK
Really surprised me. At 56 years I would have expected more wood. On the nose fruits in a wooden bowl. On the palate the fruits come right away with cherry plum, somewhat sweet and everything very nicely embedded in wood. Nice long finish.
Review by Johannes
As always, I'm a bit skeptical about the Cubans. A bit sweet, not woody, it’s more dominated by tobacco and fruity notes leaning towards sherry. The finish is medium-length. Overall, quite pleasant to drink.
Review by Dominic Lutz
Sehr komplexe Nase mit Gewürzen, Holz und leicht stechendem Alkohol. Im Gaumen rund, vollmundig und sehr ausgewogen zwischen Würze und Fass. Er hat keinen ausgeprägten Whisky-Touch, sondern wirkt harmonischer und vielschichtiger. Mir fehlt etwas der ganz lange, tief nachhallende Abgang und insgesamt etwas mehr Spannung oder Liebe. Ein Kubaner, den man probiert haben sollte!
Review by Pavel Spacek
Strong molases odl Guyana style. Nice
