Finally another bottling LPS from 2001. Not quite at the level of the Duchess.

Horny number. Pineapple and mirabelle delicately fermented. Olive, hay and spices integrated into a sweet-acid game. In addition, slightly dirty aromas. I like very very well.

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!

Good LPS, but clearly too much wood, smoke and acid for my taste. Not necessarily mine...

An der Nase vergorene tropische Früchte, Olive, fleischig (die für mich typische Bratensoße bei LP). Am Gaumen ordentlich Salzlake, die auch den Abgang dominiert.

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.

Eine gelungene Abfüllung in guter Trinkstärke die absolut nicht überfordert und dennoch alle Tribute eines guten Long Pond mitbringt!

An old LPS, I should like it, shouldn't I? Nose: pleasant esters with a distinctly vinegar note. Almost some olive in there. Classic pineapple and banana with some honey, but overall more muted spicy than fruity fresh. 79Palate: esters, of course, but strongly spicy in addition. Initially salty-sour with hints of caraway and pepper. Slightly umami. Only then do the pineapple and some marzipan come in. 81Here the 21 years are really times noticeable. For me, however, it is too spicy and not fruity enough. The alcohol is not quite as well integrated.

Un bon LP. Très peu boisé malgré les 21ans c'est surprenant. Du fruit et de l'olive très présents, un peu de bois. Je suis un peu gené par un coté salin un peu trop prononcé.

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!

Have the grad tested in the store and immediately taken. Tastes very good funky jamaica, and not too strong in taste.

In der Nase Noten von Ester, tropischen Früchten, Butter-/Mandelaroma. Am Gaumen jedoch dann relativ flach mit einer metallischem Beinote. Der Abgang ist kurz und unspektakulär.
