    "I just stand on LPS! For me, one of the bottlings in 2021. Mega great bottling together with the Duchess LPS, of course, therefore, the same rating, since it is the same cask. Legendary mark."

    "04-05.11.2022 Den Danske Rom & Whiskyfestival 2022. Another return to this big event where many people go to get drunk. Once again we had a special event for a select set of people. Notes. Pretty nice release especially when looking at the price tag. Fruity profile with nice esters and an OK balanced ABV. The finish is very long and warm with some grassy notes."

    "For a 20y old long pond is extremely little offered here in terms of taste.... Even after tasting 3x and breathing for over an hour this is just really thin.... Some ester, some yellow fruit, but no complexity, no finesse, no funk, super short finish...Must really say I don't understand this product?🤷🏼‍♂️"
