How does this rum taste?
The Jamaica No. 12 LPS offers a subtly fruity, soft, and rounded profile, not typical for a Long Pond rum. Although it's smooth and easy to sip, it lacks the complexity expected from its 23-year aging and the characteristic LPS vigour.

“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.”
