“A Cuban at cask strength is not so common. Nose fruity and also somehow meaty, a little vanilla, a little wood but not intense. Alcoholically spicy on the palate. Fruits and spices take a back seat to the wood and roasted notes. Pleasant mild finish with spice, barrel, roasted aromas and a little dried fruit. Good Cuban rum.”

“Heute steht ein kleines aber feines Cubatasting an. Seitdem ich den Valdespino probiert hatte, war ich auf der Suche nach einem ähnlichen Profil (Tabak, Leder, dunkle Früchte, altes Holz, Feuerkamin, leichter Rauch, vollmundige ölige und fette Textur) in Fassstärke. Mal gucken, ob wir hier fündig werden. Ein Venezuelaner hat sich auch noch dazugemogelt =P 1. Plantation Cuba: Tanzt schon farblich aus der Reihe. Fruchtiger und überhaupt nicht so, wie ich mir meinen Cubaner vorstelle. Der süsseste und auch mit Abstand langweiligste aus dem Tasting. 75 Pkt. (zweite Verkostung: -2 Pkt.) 2. Rom Deluxe Cuba: Eine positive Überraschung beim.ersten Verkosten und immer noch sehr lecker. Hat die eingangs erwähnten Aromen, auch einige gelbe Früchte, dazu leicht cremig und ziemlich wild am Gaumen. Nicht allzu komplex, dafür sehr gefällig. 86 pkt. (zweite Verkostung: +2Pkt.) 3. Wudramclan Cuba 1992: Schmeckt wie die konsequente Entwicklung des Cubaners von Romdeluxe. Nicht mehr so wild, etwas eindimensionalere Früchtearomen, viel mehr Leder und Tabak, etwas Asche. Abgang sehr kurz und frucht-aschelastig. 85 Pkt. 4. The Whisky Jury Cuba 1978: Als der rauskam hatte ich große Hoffnungen: toller Abfüller, nahezu unglaubliche Eckdaten, diese Farbe... In diesem Vergleich scheint es mir so, als ob die Cubaner mit dem Alter nicht nur ihre Ungestümtheit, sondern auch ihre Aromenvielfalt und Struktur verlieren. All die Früchte sind bei diesem Rum verbrannt, komischerweise wirkt dieser Rum sehr leicht auf der Zunge und nicht wie erhofft fett und ölig. Der Tabak, das Holz, die Früchte verfallen hier buchstäblich zu Asche im Mund. Irgendwie mag ich das, andererseits ist es im Gesamten überhaupt kein Upgrade zum Rom Deluxe Cubaner, sofern man sie denn im direkten vergleichen mag. 85 Pkt. (dritte Verkostung: -4 Pkt.) 5. Cadenheads Dictador 26 yo: Mein Cubaner im Venezuelanerpelz! So stelle ich mir das vor! Geile Aromen, tolle ölige, fette Struktur. Tabak, altes Holz, etwas Asche (für mich noch und passend im Aromenspektrum). <3 88 Pkt. Vielen Dank an Mto75 für die Samples!”
