“I was looking forward to try this rum, to better compare how could perform a continental ageing vs tropical. Gotta say that this one appears more “gentle” in terms of funk, as the fruity notes (pineapple, mango) are not-so-rotten as in a NRJ Vale Royal or TECC, leaving more room to play for other flavors, like orange marmalade with a pinch of metallic and acetone. The palate is surprisingly different, I do get the same fruity notes and immediately after a spicy and funky kick, along with some wood. The rum leaves an odd (but not unpleasant) bitter note on the finish, that reminds me when you inadvertently chew an orange peel. All in all, I keep WORSHIPING the estery, bold, extremely astringent tropical long ponds, but this is indeed way more approachable ;)”

“Kontinentaler Long Pond ohne klares Profil. Etwas Kautschuk, etwas Holz. Alkohol nicht optimal eingebunden. Auch im 2. Versuch leider nicht verbessert. Schade, hatte hohe Hoffnungen in diesen LP.”

“nicht zuletzt durh das höhere ABV, auch etwas fordernder und spannender als der Nobilis LP 2000. An der Nase Grapefruit, Apfel und frische Kräuter, Muskat und Karamell. Der Gaumen ist sehr würzig, im Abgang zunächst gebrannter Zucker, der durch eine (angenehme) Bitternote abgelöst wird.”

“RA / Nobilis / TRC: Very nice and mellow fruity notes with honey in all three. TRC is noticeable more woody/aged on the nose, however. RA most fruity and powerful on the palate. Nobilis somewhat tamed with noticeable less fruits. Wood and some smoke enter the picture. TRC with very nice combination of wood and fruits. Most elegant of the trio. Nice vintage/mark for enjoyable Jamaican sippers. 😊”

“Nez plutôt fermé. Des esters et de l'ananas. Un léger boisé. C'est beaucoup plus expressif en bouche. Très fruité (façon multi-fruit très mûr). Des esters. Du piment. Et une note salée très présente. Une côte légèrement beurré. Beaucoup de sucre. Finale très fruitée et piquante, avec une légère amertume et un sucre très présent. Très sympathique !”

“Einer meiner ersten Long Ponds - glücklich, nicht nur eine Flasche gehabt zu haben! Sehr guter und ausgewogener VRW. Zitrusfrüchte, buttrig, spürbare Esternoten, junges Holz, leichte, sehr dezente Kräuternoten - toll! Am Gaumen geht es so weiter, sehr ausgewogen, funky aber wenig Frucht, Adstringenz, Ester, bisschen erdig, nicht zu bitter. Im Abgang mehr Kräuter, bisschen dunkler und ein bisschen mehr Bitterkeit! Ganz ganz toll und über das ursprüngliche PLV müssen wir nicht reden!”
