Whisky Dudes Cuban Rum 1973
Highly praised as one of the best 50‑year Cuban releases: creamy mouthfeel, well‑integrated alcohol and elegant dark sweetness with chocolate, tobacco and dried fruits at cask strength.
Seasoned rum fans who enjoy elegant, sweet-leaning, well-aged Cuban-style rums with tobacco, chocolate and dried-fruit notes rather than high-ester funk.

How does this rum taste?
Elegant, creamy old-school Cuban
If you like other long-aged Cubans or softer column-still rums, this is a refined, sweeter cask-strength take—less about fireworks, more about creamy texture and mature dark notes.
Beginners or drinkers expecting intense funky esters or extreme complexity; also not ideal if you dislike noticeable wood influence or sweet-leaning profiles.

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.
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.
