Unheimlich komplexe und intensive Nase - zum Verlieben! Erste Assoziation war Hampden. Eingekochte, tropische Früchte, Pfirsich und angenehme Ester - nicht zu funky. Wow, eine echte Explosion am Gaumen, hier kommt auch der Long Pond Charakter zum Vorschein. Perfekt ausgewogen und trotzdem komplex. Etwas Rauch im Abgang. Absoluter Ausnahme-Jamaikaner!

Schluck für Schluck ein Stück Rum-Geschichte. An der Nase noch beeindruckend frisch für einen 38 Jahre gelagerten Rum und aufgrund der Wucht der tropischen Früchte mit grosser Nähe zu den Hampden-Abfüllungen aus dem gleichen Jahrgang. Am Gaumen bleibt die fruchtige Melange weit vorne dabei, jetzt jedoch zusätzlich gepaart mit leichten Limettennoten, wohl-tariertem Fasseinfluss, Gewürzen und nach einem Moment im Mund mit einer dezenten herben Note, die mich an Bitterschokolade erinnert. Im Abgang kommt das Alter zum Tragen, das die jugendliche Frische aus der Nase etwas einfängt und uns in einen geradezu samtigen Abgang entlässt. Ein eindrückliches Erlebnis.

Continuing the samples I got from my wife. 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.

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

Erstaunlicher Long Pond! In der Nase hätte ich auf Hampden getippt. Am Gaumen dann mehr Long Pond mit einer guten Portion Holz und einer schönen Komplexität. Erinnert mich etwas an den Long Pond 1941 mit weniger Kräutern. Phantastisch und einzigartig!

First I thought it is Hampden, the nose and the taste is very much Hampden like. But this one is a very unique Long Pond due to a lot of Hampden influence. I know that in every LP is always a Hampden but not that dominant. I scored on the Nose 93, Taste 93 and Aftertaste 94 and overall 93 points. Very balanced with perfect integrated alcohol. Full of fruity flavors and almost no acid. Awesome.

Einer der Top 3 Long Ponds die ich bisher hatte.

Erste Nase - Hampden Funk. Im Mund dann aber eindeutig Long Pond, raffiniert und super komplex. Nicht zu schnell trinken, der Sauerstoff tut ihm gut. Immer neue Nuancen, eine leichte Rauchnote wie im Mezcal gibt ein herrliches Wechselspiel mit der Fruchtigkeit des Rums. Whow!

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.

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!

number two and a typical Long Pond with a light ester touch that seems to be the Long Pond signature. Complex, balanced, fruity and almost perfect in the balance with the esters.
