Wu Dram Clan Jamaican Rum Blend 2024
Made for Jamaica geeks who like to hunt for individual marks, this 23-29yo Wu Dram Clan blend leans tropical-fruit-and-ester on the nose, then turns woody, spicy and bitter on the palate. Give it a half hour in the glass and it opens right up. Several tasters loved the nose but found the palate flatter and hotter than they hoped for the age.
The community says- Complex tropical nose
- Long ester finish
- Bitter, woody palate

Old Jamaican blend, glorious nose, woody palate A gorgeous, complex nose most agree on; the palate splits people — some call it rich and rewarding, others find it woody, bitter and thin, with alcohol not fully tucked away.

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

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.
Review by RumTaTa
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.
Review by Johannes
A truly amazing blend! Tropical notes, menthol, some ester, some bitterness, nice complexity.
Review by Leo Krüper
Solid blend, some bitter notes. Doesn't get me completely.
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
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.
Review by Andi
On the nose wood, esters, varnish and glue, slightly fruity / dried fruit Then a light sweetness on the palate, herbal, lots of wood, again ester, varnish and glue notes. When I tasted it, I described it as drinkable. However, I must also say that the price is very off-putting, although of course the predominantly tropical maturation has to be paid for.
Review by Dr.Django
A very interesting blend. It starts off fruity, spicy and promising on the palate, but then quickly flattens out, becomes bitter and loses a lot of its intensity. Nevertheless, thanks to its balanced complexity, there is something new to discover with every sip. The finish is rather woody and dry and subsides relatively quickly.
Review by SaibotZtar
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 😎💥
Review by Frank
The sample has been waiting for quite a while, but I haven't had the time yet. Old, tropical, not quite cheap. What are the inner values? ... Nose: tropical fruits, and lots of them, together with woody spice. Caramelized pineapple, orange, mild lemon, ripe banana, plus sweet and sour blackcurrant, passion fruit and gooseberry. All backed with honey and caramel. There is a whole range of spices that remind me of brown cake, vanilla, allspice and liquorice. Finally, a little soap and a hint of mint. Very complex, full-bodied and round if you give it time. Really nice. 9.0 Palate: much more bitter than on the nose. Bitter and astringent, almost metallic at the start, with plenty of esters and mint, orange peel and lime. Tropical passion fruit only asserts itself behind this. The finish is woody and spicy with nutmeg and allspice. Less relaxed on the palate, but still full-bodied. 8,4 All in all, a good, high-quality rum blend with a fantastic nose that is quite challenging on the palate.
Review by Lot-NAS
//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.
Review by Timo Groeger
Schöner Blend. Mir gefällt er. Typischer Jamaikaner mit vielen tropischen Früchten und viel Ester. Außerdem lässt sich noch etwas Klebstoff und Lack erkennen. Nur preislich wohl leider etwas zu hoch angesetzt.
Review by Tom Buteneers
It’s a nice old blend. The Clarendon is very recognizable and to me, dominant in the profile. I keep having the feeling that I expected more from it somehow. Maybe I need to taste it again for further assessment.

#5064 Friday 24.01.2025 - 26.01.2025 A nice weekend in my sisters summerhouse with old friends and colleagues tasting a lot of rums. I can only recommend like we did, no phones allowed and then only music in the background 😊 Colour Medium dark to dark. Nose Wood, light roasted, fruits, spice, banana, dried fruit, light herbs, faint licorice. Palate Oily, round, balanced, wood, naturally sweet, light coffee, faint chocolate, light licorice, light anise, fruits, banana, light raisin. Finish Long and warm, wood, light roasted, dried fruit, spice, light chocolate, light coffee. Empty glass Spice, pineapple, faint glue, light herbal, light leather, faint mint.
Review by Mirco
I had no particular expectations of the rum. That's why I'm very (positively) surprised by this bottling. Mint and tropical fruit...I'm always on the go! Beautiful Clarendon DNA. I like it very much. Very bitter in the finish, which some will probably not like.
Review by Jakob
Gefällt mir sehr gut. Schwere, ölige Süsse, viel frische Zitrusfrüchte, Holz, Gewürze. Das EMB-Profil ist klar erkennbar, auch die Vanille-Karamellsüsse aus dem Bourbonfass, die das NY94-Profil auszeichnet, bleibt erkennbar. Gelungener Blend, sehr gut trinkbar.
Review by Thunderbird
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
Review by Boletus
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.
Review by mto75
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…

Read full review →Zusammenfassend muss ich sagen das ich direkt nach dem Eingießen etwas enttäuscht war, weil für mich der Clarendon so dominant war. Gibt man ihm jedoch die Zeit die er verdient ändert sich dieser Eindruck. Der Blend ist dann noch komplexer und zeigt zumindest zwei der Komponenten recht deutlich, aber perfekt miteinander verbunden. Und nebenbei möchte noch erwähnen das der Blend auch hervorragend zu einer Zigarre passt. Diese sollte dann aber schon etwas Power haben, denn sonst geht sie unter.
