    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love the expressive nose—ripe tropical fruit and banana with gentle esters and vanilla. On the palate, balanced oak and spice meet banana, touches of chocolate and vanilla, with a drier finish. Often enjoyed as a digestif; some suggest letting it breathe. A popular Long Pond release with 61 community reviews and strong buyer confidence, this limited 15‑year bottling (2,402 bottles) rewards those seeking a softer, velvety Jamaican profile.

    How is this rum rated?

    8.1/10 61 reviews

    Second tasting: I reduce my rating by 4 points because the rum seems quite alcoholic despite the low alcohol content and because the gap in terms of aroma and intensity to the Velier bottlings is clear. The grilled overripe bananas jump out of the glass at me! There are also other tropical fruits and vanilla. Ripe banana and vanilla again in the mouth, very mild and oily. A peppery and salty note and barrel are added on the finish. Overall very harmonious and intense, top!

    Great nose, but on the palate it's a touch too bitter for me. The dilution has no discernible negative effect on the fullness of the rum, but the fruit notes are somewhat lost behind the tart wood and spice notes.

    Creamy and round with notes of coconut, banana and peach. Some leather and slightly toasty to smoky on the nose and finish. There is a dry nutty note on the finish. Although the ester level is low (ITP) and the rum is thus expected mild, yet does not lack the power to satisfy the palate.

    I got this in the mail from Germany yesterday and I just couldn't wait until the weekend tasting it. Being on a week off from work and having a lot of time to arrange my rum collecrion I can always find a good excuse to sip one :-) I'd say this is a new super rum from Long Pond. Despite the age it has a solid oak as a backbone with fruits and spices on top. The funk is there and it's well balanced and velvety on the palate with a very light mineral touch with some caramel. It's not a cheap rum but I think the price is well matched with the quality.
