This rum is by far the best of all ‘The Golden Age of Piracy’ releases from Distilia. A true masterpiece! Flavors of apple, roasted almond and white pepper gives you a thrill in every corner of the mouth. I adore the funky Jamaican rums in particular Hampden and Long Pond. I honestly put this rum in my personal top 10 of Jamaican rums I tasted. What an explosion of sent and taste! Nothing but love for this long pond!
Nose: powerful intense note of sovent / glue / tropical fruit (not fermented ritten fruit type, but rather intense mature ones) oily. Waiting few minutes: white peach, winter melon. Esters notes are dominant, intense, never harsh or acidic. Mouth: WOW. powerful attack. Oily, tropical fruits, red juicy apples, grapes, bananas, roasted almonds, white pepper. Aftertaste: Moderate to long, not infinite. Very nice notes remaining, tropical fruits, banana mousse, roasted almonds, delicate white pepper
Mind blowing. Probably one of the best rums of 2022. Need to try it next to the TasTToe1983 LP/HD, would love to compare them. Intense, glue/solvents and ester-y but at the same time amazing balance. After the 1994 NYE it the esters were more present in the nose but at the same time it mellowed a bit. Wonderful rum experience.
Just tasted this rum. It's really an incredibly good one. Very balanced, perfect alcohol integration. Lots of fruits, I love it !
