    How does this rum taste?

    The Fine Jamaican Rum from Long Pond, bottled by Ruddylow Park, offers a complex profile distinctively marked by its Jamaican origin. With a cask strength of 51.5% ABV, it showcases refined aromas of ester, young wood, and herbal notes. Aged for 35 years, this rum impresses with its balanced, woody palate complemented by tropical fruit undertones. Many users note its intriguing evolution in the glass, with elements of caramel, dried apricots, and honey forming a harmonious blend. While praised for its depth and integration, some find the bitterness and herbal finish a little overpowering.

    Calendrier de l'Avant RumX 2024, day 13. A fruity nose, but more dried fruit, in particular dried apricot. Light, youthful wood and a hint of bitter herb candy (Ricola). The palate is aromatic and fruity, still with dried apricot, a touch of sparkle and young, well-integrated wood. A touch of pencil lead (graphite), and the bitterness becomes increasingly prominent as the other aromas slowly dissipate. A rum with character, good length and balance.

    RumX Advent Calendar Day 13: Here we have a Long Pond. You can recognize Jamaica directly on the nose. Esters, tropical fruits but also some wood is recognizable. On the palate, however, it is unfortunately too herbal for me and also too bitter on the finish.

    The longer the rum was in the glass, the better the 35-year-old Long Pond became. The wood notes are there, but nowhere near as pronounced as the age would suggest. The rum has a very fine, pleasant fruity note, which becomes increasingly prominent over time.

    Beautiful fruity nose: esters, white wine, honey Also convincing on the palate and without deviation from the nose, a little young wood is added. Medium-long finish, also very balanced and pleasant, lots of fruit and becoming drier. I had guessed Fiji because of the esters and had not ruled out Port Mourant. Completely surprisingly an old Long Pond! I like it very much!
