How does this rum taste?
Most enjoy its soft tropical fruit, light funk and well-integrated alcohol. Critics miss classic LPS punch, finding it thin and short. Consensus: a pleasant, easy Long Pond, not a powerhouse.
If you enjoy softer Long Ponds or lighter Hampdens, this works as a relaxed sipper: you get some esters and tropical fruit, but without the aggression of punchier LPS releases.
Lovers of intense, high-ester LPS funk or very complex cask-strength rums, and anyone expecting big power and a long, layered finish for the price.

Schöner Long Pond hier. Als erstes kam mir in der Nase Ester entgegen, außerdem kann man hier Vanille und eine gewisse Würze erkennen. Am Gaumen für mich irgendwie funktioniert, viel Ester aber auch wieder Vanille und Gewürze.
Schöner Long Pond mit einer gewissen Fruchtigkeit. Vom Ester-Gehalt eher hinter den 2001er LPS-Abfüllungen. Guter Easy Sipper, aber in Summe fehlt es etwas an Komplexität und Intensität, um weiter oben mitzuspielen.
Parallelverkostung alles drei Long Ponds der Release Reihe (1998/#12 - 2000/#11 - 2001/#8). 1998 & 2000 beide etwas dünn und verhalten. 1998 aber der leckerere von beiden. 2001 klar anders, nicht so weich aber sehr lecker. Der 2000 für mich klar das Schlusslicht. 1998 der weiche runde LP typische. Der 2001 etwas kantiger aber dafür interessanter.
