How does this rum taste?
The "For Tara Spirits LPS" is a distinguished rum crafted in the Long Pond distillery, Jamaica, and bottled by Oldman Spirits GmbH. This 2001 vintage is made from molasses, aged for 21 years, and delivered at 56.6% cask strength. Limited to just 150 bottles, this rum is noted for its bold blend of pineapple, ester, and woody notes, complemented by hints of olive and overripe fruit. Users praise its balance of sweetness, fruitiness, and acidity, though it's considered less fruity than similar releases. The interplay between esters and wood is unique, offering a nuanced tasting experience that matures with aeration.

LPS is a great brand, and this rum a nice representative. Sweetness, acidity, fruit, esters and wood are well balanced, with a long finish. The longer you let it breathe, the milder it gets. Compliments!
Geile Nummer. Ananas und Mirabelle zart vergoren. Olive, Heu und Gewürze eingebunden in ein süße-Säure spiel. Dazu leicht dreckige Aromen. Ein wunderschönes Mark aus einem offensichtlich sehr guten Jahrgang. Gefällt mir sehr sehr gut.
The LPS of Sample X (SX) I found so good that I could not resist. In direct comparison, both rums are very similar and unmistakably the same stuff.Oxidation has already sanded down the hard edges on the SX, yet the Flensburger (FL) is a bit more restrained on the nose. The fruity esters are not as present, but the vegetal-dirty side is stronger, with resin, gasoline and salt liquor.In the mouth, the fresh FL is more intense compared to the old SX. The FL is again less fruity and sour but spicier and woodier. Aromas are very similar: tea, olive, mace, hay. Fruits are riper and more yellow, yet there are still plenty of sour esters.The finish is again a real highlight in which the herbal flavors really shine again. Top!
The nose starts sweet sour and even a little floral. On the palate unusual for Long Pond, reminds me a little of Clarendon. Strong, spicy and even smoky.nice rum with a new for me Long Pond facet.
