Bristol Long Pond 1985
Highly praised old Long Pond with a fruity, sweet nose, balanced wood and very smooth palate. Easy to drink yet complex enough to explore, especially impressive given its 37 years.
Fans of elegant, fruity Jamaicans who enjoy smooth, sweet-leaning sippers with moderate complexity rather than big ester funk or cask-strength power.

How does this rum taste?
Smooth, fruity old-school Long Pond
If you like refined, fruit-forward Jamaican rums like softer Hampdens or older lightly-reduced Long Ponds, this will feel like a mellow but characterful upgrade with serious age behind it.
Those chasing high-ester intensity, punchy cask strength, or very dry, ultra-wood-driven profiles; also budget-conscious buyers sensitive to premium pricing.

Sehr elegante Holz- und Fruchtnoten. Extrem angenehm am Gaumen. Einfach lecker. Die „niedrigen“ Prozent tun der Intensität des Rums nichts ab. Ester sind nicht direkt präsent, erst nach einer Weile im Glas entfalten sie sich.
Premier rhum de ce type pour moi, je n'ai pas encore goûté de référence qui me permettent de le comparer. Dans tous les cas ça été une bonne expérience et je l'ai trouvé vraiment très bon. Tout passait très bien.
Super edler Tropfen, süßlich aber nicht zu aufdringlich, wird immer fruchtiger im Glas, Rosinen, trocken Früchte. Echt super starker Tropfen.
