"Incredibly complex and intense nose - to fall in love! First association was Hampden. Boiled down, tropical fruit, peach and pleasant esters - not too funky. The 38 years in the barrel rounded it out to perfection. Wow, a real explosion on the palate, this is also where the Long Pond character comes out. Perfectly balanced yet complex. Very pleasant bitterness. In the finish, some smoke is added.Outstanding! Absolutely exceptional Jamaican."
"Retasting with the RumX guys. Lost a few points 😊 ------------ This is close to a perfect rum. We'll balanced and intense with perfect ABV integration. Draws very nice curtains in the glass and the empty glass has a wonderful nose. The angels must have been happy hovering over this cask for so long."
"Sip for sip a piece of rum history. On the nose still impressively fresh for a 38 years aged rum and due to the force of the tropical fruits with great proximity to the Hampden bottlings from the same vintage. On the palate, the fruity melange remains far ahead, but now additionally paired with light lime notes, well-tarred barrel influence, spices and after a moment in the mouth with a subtle tart note that reminds me of dark chocolate. Age comes into play on the finish, somewhat capturing the youthful freshness from the nose and releasing us into a downright velvety finish. An impressive experience."
"WOW. Ich bin hin und weg !! Was für ein spitzen Rum !! Nase Unheimlich komplex mit Ester ,Ananas, Mango, Papaya, Banane und leckere Fruchtester .... milde Holznote sehr Harmonisch. Gaumen Ölig Süß ... herrlich ausgewogen wieder Ananas,Papaya,Banane und Ester... gepaart mit einer Portion Holz was perfekt abrundet .
