“Complex, fruity Jamaican rum; bold yet a bit unbalanced.”

The Jamaican Rum Blend by Wu Dram Clan, aged between 23 to 29 years, presents a rich aroma of tropical fruits and esters, coupled with woody and varnish notes. With a potent 57% ABV, this limited release offers a complex tasting experience characterized by tropical fruit groves, spices, and a woody backdrop. Although some find the alcohol integration slightly overbearing and the price high, its layered flavors make for a collector-worthy item. The blend, praised for its intricate profile, balances potent Jamaican marques with a nuanced finish. It's best enjoyed slowly to unlock its full array of characteristics, but some users feel the components of this blend come across individually rather than as a harmonious whole.

“Edit Edit: The more I try it, the less enthusiastic I get about it. For me, the price is simply too high for what it does. Sorry. Edit Just tried it again with Buddudharma in the garden. A solid, very good blend, but for a higher rating I lack that certain something extra. Alcohol is well integrated. Not a bad first impression, but give it a little more time in the glass. But save my rating until I have sent the samples from the split. 😉 In my opinion, the Clarendon is very clearly recognizable”

“The nose is very interesting! Since I know what's inside, I can go on a journey of discovery. EMB is immediately recognizable. I imagine I can also sniff out New Yarmouth. And if you know it, Long Pond can't hide either. A very successful combination on the nose! The palate is also very impressive - varied and complex. The rum makes a pleasant shift on the palate from fruity-sweet to spicy, cask and dry. But the sweet tropical fruits also keep reappearing in the very long finish, which is probably thanks to the EMB. I consider this blend to be an outstanding success. It allows you to go on a targeted search and is a pleasure to taste for a long time. Note: My glass was covered for approx. 2 hours before tasting.”

“Very invitingly fruity on the nose. This impression continues on the palate. For me, the EMB component dominates slightly, but I also like that. Carefully blended rum with strong tropical components, goes down like oil and makes you dream of the Caribbean.”

“Mmh the nose is very fruity with lots of esters ... Clarendon is clearly in the foreground. You can already smell the other components but very restrained and clearly in the background. On the palate, the alcohol is noticeable first... relatively unfavorably 🫢 integrated... the whole thing seems somehow inharmonious. With a lot of time, the Clarendon also comes through well on the palate ... the rest of the blend can actually only be guessed at (unless you know it) then of course you can taste 🤣🤣🤣 a corner of it here and there. In May Tai it's worlds better and makes a solid 4/5 😎💥”

“Tasted it twice. The first time, I was very disappointed that it didn't taste as I had imagined. I then decided to taste it again at my leisure. All in all, a very nice Jamaican blend that has a lot to offer thanks to the high proportion of tropical storage. Both the nose and the palate have a lot to offer and it is a very tasty drop. However, the blend does not offer more than its individual parts. With the high proportion of 95emb and 94ny, I actually expect something that matches the quality of the two exceptional vintages. But that is not the case. It's good, but for what it's made of and what it costs, I would have expected more. And I would have wanted to pay less for the result. I'll probably stick with the sample.”

“An der Nase Holz, Ester, Lack und Klebstoff, leicht fruchtig / getrocknete Früchte Am Gaumen dann eine leichte süße, kräutrig, viel Holz, wieder Ester, Lack und Klebstoff Noten. Beim verkosten habe ich ihn als süffig beschrieben. Ich muss aber auch sagen, dass der Preis schon sehr abschreckend ist, wobei natürlich die überwiegend tropische Reifung bezahlt werden muss.”

“//For the people among you who actually read this - yes, I added this review to the wrong Rum yesterday :D As usual these bottles flew out of the digital shelves and luckily I have a sample and even better, after tasting it just now, a bottle of it. To begin with the important part: It is great and I don’t really understand the bad or average ratings. The nose is really great, complex and keeps on developing. Side note: Take your time and you will be rewarded. The different profiles are are there and supplement each other perfectly. On the palate it is balanced, warm with loads of spices, dried fruits and some wood. There is a sharpness and some tannins but just the right amount. The Ester between all the aromas is just lovely. I think for today I am going to leave it at this but maybe playing with a few drops of water can even push it a bit further. What a surprise! Cheers.”

“An der Nase strömt sofort das Aroma eines Clarendon empor. Andere Distillen nehme ich so gut wie gar nicht wahr. Am Gaumen verteilt er sich cremig und weich…der Alkohol ist sehr gut eingebunden. Anfangs eine esterhafte Süsse gefolgt von tropischen Früchten, dazu eine angenehme Würze. Je länger er am Gaumen verweilt, desto adstringierender wird er. Im Abgang überwiegen Fass- und Kräuteraromen. Sicherlich eine schöne geblendete Abfüllung, aber auch nichts was ich unbedingt haben muss”

“Also ich finde den Blend an der Nase durchaus ansprechend: tropische Früchte, Lack, Politur, Creme, wie ich sie bei vielen EMB 95 habe. Ich mache aber auch Kuchenteig aus, wie er zB im Royal Cane NY 94 sehr schön rüber kam. Der LPS scheint da irgendwie etwas unter die Räder zu kommen, obwohl er ja auch über 30% ausmacht. Am Gaumen würzig, röstig, Fass, aber auch etwas scharfkantig, insb. hinten raus…”

“Dieser Blend gefällt mir ausgesprochen gut, braucht aber zur vollen Entfaltung mindestens eine halbe Stunde Luftkontakt im Glas, wodurch der Geruch nicht nur komplexer, sondern auch deutlich harmonischer wird. Im Mund gibt es dann zunächst eine ordentliche Menge Holz zu kauen, bevor die Belohnung in Form von Gewürzen und tropischen Früchten erfolgt. Das für meinen Geschmack allerdings echte Highlight ist der retronasale Nachhall, wenn der ansonsten vermeintlich eher unspektakuläre Abgang verklungen ist. Diese anhaltende, ätherische Mischung verschiedenster Tropenfrüchte mit latenter toastiger Gewürzbegleitung finde ich wirklich großartig.”

“Sowohl an der Nase als auch am Gaumen dominiert für mich der EMB (leider). Mit sehr viel Zeit im Glas lässt sich im Hintergrund auch der NY94 Anteil finden. Obwohl ich kein Clarendon-Fan bin, gefällt mir die Abfüllung ganz gut, auch wenn ich etwas mehr erwartet hätte.”

“Ist nicht immer leicht den Preis gedanklich außen vor zu lassen beim Tasten. Aber im Endeffekt haben wir hier einen soliden, durchaus komplexen und sehr schönen Jamaikaner. Klar…der Preis ist definitiv zu teuer, da er trotz der geilen Marks kein Alleinstellungsmerkmal aufweist. Schmeckt aber toll, Alkohol ist gut eingebunden und für jeden Jamaika Fan ist im Geschmack was dabei. Prost !”

“Schöner alter Jamaica blend. New Yarmouth kommt mit leichten keksteig Noten durch, monymusk dominiert insgesamt mit Kräuter und generell viel Menthol und Holz Noten, Long pond LPS bringt etwas cremigkeit ist aber insgesamt eher im Hintergrund. Insgesamt ist es mir etwas zu viel Holz aber dennoch ein schöner alter Jamaica blend.”

“Wenn ich den Rum mit einem Wort zusammenfassen soll, dann mit „enttäuschend“. Stark alkoholische Nase, viel Klebstoff und Lack (aber nicht der Gute). Mit sehr viel Standzeit treten dann fruchtige Noten auf, der Alkohol bleibt aber stark präsent. Dies setzt sich dann auch im Mund weiter fort. Der Alkohol ist schlecht integriert, was vor allem mit Blick auf das Alter doch verwundert. Der Hauptkritikpunkt ist aber: Das Ganze passt nicht harmonisch zusammen. Die einzelnen Rumkomponenten lassen sich herausschmecken und zwar weil sie abwechselnd in den Vordergrund treten. Dies aber genau das, was ich von einem Blend nicht erwarte. Vielmehr will ich ein harmonisch Ganzes, das besser ist, als seine Einzelteile. Das schmeckend und rieche ich hier nicht. Für mich eine herbe Enttäuschung. Da wären die einzelnen Komponenten interessanter gewesen.”
