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.
Tasted directly after the Isla del Ron Long Pond 2008, in direct comparison much less esters and fruit - maybe my perception is just burned away.The nose is fruity with herbal spice: Fruity esters, green tea, slightly foul - distantly like Fijis.In the mouth the rum really picks up: Green bananas, ripe apples and melon, then salty olive, young grain, slightly smoky spices, all with fantastic alcohol integration. Wood is irritatingly barely noticeable after 20 years. The finish brings little new, slight bitterness otherwise the herbal side of the profile.This is great cinema.
Great Long Pond LPS . Funky
A very intense Long Pond with a lot of ester. The long storage makes him but nice round and the rum is wonderfully accessible. The 60% warm without being unpleasant. To the end quite bitter and beautiful Astringent. A great Long Pond, but there are even better bottlings.
