Wu Dram Clan Dos Delinquentes Fiji 17 Year 2006

Review by: The Auditor

Review #1348; Rum #651

This rum was bottled for Wu Dram Clan, and independent bottler. This rum was distilled from molasses on a pot still in Fiji where it aged for 11 years. It then aged for another 6 years in Europe before being bottled at cask strength with no additives for Wu Dram.

Distillery: South Pacific

Bottler: Wu Dram Clan

Region: Fiji

Still: Pot

ABV: 72.5%

Nose: Vanilla, Allspice, Black Pepper, Sandalwood

Palate: Thick oily mouthfeel, Vanilla, Black Pepper, Sandalwood, Green Apple, Brine, Allspice

Finish:  Medium length finish, Allspice, Sandalwood, Black Pepper, Dark Chocolate, Cinnamon, Vanilla

Conclusion: This rum is not my favorite Fiji rum in terms of flavor profile. The wood is very aggressive here and the oak dominates. I don’t find any of that industrialness or rubber notes I get. There are some nice fruits and spices here but the oak is aggressive for me.

Final Score: 85

Scoring Legend:

  • 95-100: As good as it gets. Jaw-dropping, eye-widening, unforgettable whisky.
  • 90-94: Sublime, a personal favorite in its category.
  • 85-89: Excellent, a standout dram.
  • 80-84: Quite good. Quality stuff.
  • 75-79: Decent whisky worth tasting.
  • 70-74: Meh. It’s definitely drinkable, but it can do better.
  • 60-69: Not so good. I might not turn down a glass if I needed a drink.
  • 50-59: Save it for mixing.
  • 0-49: Blech.

I have drank my fair amount of single malt but got started writing reviews about Single Malt and Bourbon in 2018. Over 1000 total reviews later and I focus mainly on Sugar Cane Spirits now. However, single malt is a still a spirits category I enjoy greatly as is Agave and Brandy. I wouldn’t go as far as to call myself an expert but I am the resident Rum obsessed writer for Malt Runners.
