CoR Long Pond Jamaica No. 11 2000
Highly regarded as a lighter, easygoing Long Pond: ripe tropical fruits, soft sweetness and moderate spice. Many enjoy its accessible profile, even if some miss the usual Long Pond power.

How does this rum taste?
Light, fruity Long Pond outlier
If you enjoy Jamaican fruit and spice but find classic Long Pond too wild, this VRW gives you the character in a cleaner, softer format that still feels grown-up.
Those chasing intense high-ester Long Pond "balls", or drinkers sensitive to 56% ABV who expect a big nose and long, powerful finish.

Got a sample of this rum for free from RumX. Long Pond is known for its ultra-funky, high-ester style of rum, but this one is a VRW which marks quite low esters. It was pot still distilled 2000 whereafter it was continental aged for 21 years in an ex-rum barrel before bottled in 220 bottles at 56,4%. Overall a very light low esters Long Pond that tastes much better (more) than its aromas.
Nose very restrained. Honeydew melon ,banana and some wood . Alcohol not very present. On the palate alcohol more noticeable but not bad . Banana, honey (melon) pleasant light sweetness . Finish then slightly bitter and a little woody. Not bad but somehow very weak in all.
Auto-translatedCoR tasting, Rum Club Switzerland. A spicy, fruity nose. Red fruit, candied cherry, a spicy/pungent edge, but also a slightly sticky sweetness. Overall, a little too spicy on the nose. The palate is full-bodied and fruity, but the spiciness of the nose also bothers me. The sweetness is also a little sticky. The finish is short and the sweetness lingers for a long time. A rum with qualities, but lacking the essential balance. Tasted again and with oxidation, the balance is much better.
Auto-translated#4187 This is an OK Long Pond though I would have loved some more kick in the profile. I'd set this one as a light profile Long Pond. Fruity with medium ester and light wood. There is a natural sweetness to it and I like the curtains in the glass. The empty glass has some chocolate and maple to it.
