“Erstaunlich frische Nase für das hohe Alter. Die Fruchtnoten rücken am Gaumen aber mit zunehmender Länge in den Hintergrund, dafür kommt eine schöne Süsse und etwas mehr Holzeinschlag zum Vorschein - dabei kippt der Rum aber keinesfalls in zu bittere Sphären. Leider fehlt mir insgesamt aber ein wenig die aromatische Raffinesse, weshalb am Ende ein zwar sehr leckerer Rum im Glas bleibt, der sich aber nicht ganz in die absolute Topliga einreihen kann.”

“Rather unusual Long Pond. A crisp sweetness on the palate - almost too much.”

“An der Nase eine vergorene Mango mit Tendenz ins säuerliche! Das passt zum LP! Am Gaumen verteilt er sich leicht und dünn, anfangs mit einer Süße von Milchscholade und gebranntem Zucker, nach und nach gesellen sich Kräuter und Gewürze dazu! Alles nicht sehr intensiv…Frucht nehme ich so gut wie gar nicht mehr wahr. Der Abgang setzt anfangs diese Aromen fort, später erscheint noch einmal Trockenobst in Form von getrockneten Aprikosen! Ein gefälliger Rum, der trotz seines Alters wenig Holz aufweist! Insgesamt bietet er aber zu wenig um in die Top-Liga aufzusteigen”
