Old Brothers LPCH

"This one was crazy, I could get the Jamaican funk from jus poring the rum into my glass. Once rested it was a really intense nose, and that in a good way. Funky and fruity from start to finish with a medicinal and roasted wood touch. Price to quality is pretty good."

"Aged Jamaican without frills. Straightforward profile with plenty of fruit and tart wood notes. Qualitatively absolutely solid, but will not remain in my memory for too long due to the lack of originality."

"An intoxicating nose! The olive joins the tropical fruits in a comforting woody. A mouth with a fresh and yellow attack. Soft and marked by stewed fruits. The finish is light but delicious."

"The nose is already great...a nice interplay of fruit , spice and pastry!On the palate it spreads creamy and quite intense..after initially some fruit, young wood, slightly toasty and lots of delicious spice! A touch of black tea joins in!The finish is medium long, strong with espresso and spice notes!Actually, I'm not so a friend of blends, but this and the WuDram Finest Jamaica please me quite well"

"Superb and super well done. It is excellent. Perfect balance between a fruity/ester side and a pastry/chocolate side. I loved it. Really, if it wasn't so expensive, it would be directly in my rum cellar..."

"With such a wild blend of Clarendon (Monymusk), Hampden and Long Pond you have to be skeptical at first, but I must say that the interaction of the three is extraordinarily well done! It also strikes me that the nose changes over time, at the beginning more the MM, then HD and finally the LP. The palate is also convincing: toasted aromas, complex fruit (peach, melon, pineapple) and olive. On the finish, grilled, caramelized banana."

"Nose blew me away and very surprised, but then rather flat on the palate. Price is unfortunately too high for this"

"A fine example of a successful Jamaican blend. The nose is elegant and extremely rich, marked by tropical fruits, solvents, olive, almonds and smoked notes. The palate is marked by these fruity and smoky notes accompanied by olive. The alcohol is very well integrated. The finish is long and quite sweet, with the same fruity and smoky notes and a touch of caramel. A complex, greedy and expressive rum which represents very well the Jamaican terroir."

"Loaded with esters. A little too surprising for my taste."

"Taste on the fruit.The alcohol is felt, it could have been divine if it had been better integrated."

""assez droit et direct, j’aurais aimé un peu plus de complexité, mais ça reste excellent ! Très très facile à boire. Très rond, et évolue bien avec le temps. J’ai relevé la note du coup. En resume, mes notes de degutation : Au nez : Ananas, Solvants, Bois jeunes, Fruits tropicaux, Amande En bouche : Fruits tropicaux, Rôti, Zeste d'orange, Intense, Melon, Ester, Bois jeunes La finale plutot orientee vers : Ananas, Boisé, Anis""

"Nez pâtissier génial avec une belle salade de fruits et d’épices en accompagnement. Bouche crémeuse et intense sur les épices. Sans oublier du boisé , des notes grillées mais surtout du fruité. Belle finale puissante sur les café épicé. Profil très fruité avec un profil boisé très harmonieux. Du vrai funk jamaïcain dans le verre … d’une intensité assez folle ! C’est très sympa a siroter sans se casser la tête, mais un peu le portefeuille …"

"A rich and complex blend that confused me.I know Long Pond, Clarendon and Hampden and their respective markers but I had a hard time finding my way around this blend. So it was both confusing and cool. Lots of very ripe fruit. A very well integrated alcohol. A certain acidity that doesn't spoil the greediness."

"Sacré blend très Bien fait.. Pas le plus exuberant"

"Nez : tes en Jamaïque tu peux pas le rate. Compote de fruit trop mûr / solvant / amertume du bois. Pointe d’agrumes avec du citron vert (zeste). Un peu de solvant. En bouche : type Jamaïque hampden, fruité qui termine sur amertume du bois Finale : amertume du bois enrobée de fruits."
