Long Pond Jamaica No. 12 LPS (RX14122)
AVERAGE VALUE
The Jamaica No. 12 LPS is a rare and limited edition rum hailing from the Long Pond distillery in Jamaica. Distilled in 1998 from molasses in a pot still, this cask strength masterpiece has been aged for 23 years, and bottled by The Colours of Rum at an ABV of 52.7%. With only 163 bottles released, this distinguished beverage presents a delightful combination of ester, vanilla, and tropical fruit notes in the aroma, followed by a palatable balance of candied, tropical fruit, and spicy flavors with a hint of allspice. Despite being a bit light on the palate, the Jamaica No. 12 LPS is considered a good easy sipper by RumX users, who appreciate its fruity, soft, and round character. This elegant offering is an excellent introduction to Jamaica and Long Pond rums for both novices and aficionados alike.

A surprisingly thin and light LP with little expressive flavors! Based on the data I had expected something more

Jamaica No. 8 vs No. 11 vs No. 12 Nose clearly goes to No. 11. very nice basket of fruits and overripe banana. Is this maybe one of the 2000 VRWs vs LPS for the other two? No. 12 is nice with some tropical fruits and spices. No. 8 is dominated by wood and remains sharp even after > 1h in the glas. Taste: 2001 (8) much better on the palate vs on the nose. However, a little thin and unassuming. Not bad, though. 2000 (11) sweet and fruity on the palate as well. Easy going but also quite nice. If anybody knows the mark on this, let me know 🙂 Overall my winner out of the three 1998 (12) also very round and easy going. A little more wood and roasted notes. Feels a little thin and uninspired to me, however.

Also a nice entry for Jamaica and Long Pond. Again, unimpressive at first and becoming stronger with the onset of the aftertaste. The (simultaneously tasted) Jamaica No. 10 seems more defined and intense, which I like better. The aftertaste is here in comparison also shorter and less intense.Good entry-level rum.

Got a sample of this rum for free from RumX. It’s a 23yo pot still rum distilled in 1998 continental aged in an ex-Rum barrel whereafter it’s bottled at cask strength in just 163 bottles at 52,7%. Overall a fruity, soft and round rum. Not a typical Long Pond.

Mmh .... sehr dünn ... schmeckt schon fast wässrig. Da hatte ich echt mehr erwartet. Etwas Frucht etwas Holz ....minimal Ester . Alles schon vorhanden aber unglaublich wenig von allem ... wirklich schade. Sehr kurzer Abgang ohne Eindruck zu hinterlassen,jedenfalls bei mir .

Als ich gelesen habe Long Pond 1998 mit dem Mark LPS, habe ich fast blind gekauft. Zum Glück doch erstmal ein Sample. Von LPS merke ich wirklich quasi nix. Der Rum hat nicht sonderlich Charakter. Sehr enttäuschend.

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.

Funky, tropische kandierte Früchte, bisschen Holz und leicht bitter.

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.
