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.
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.
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!
Day 13 of the RumX advent calendar: A quiet drink that only gradually reveals its complex aromatic landscape and demands attention accordingly. If you give the rum this, you can discover finely balanced aromas with the freshness of green banana and avocado, which are accompanied by a pleasant honey sweetness and mild woodiness and end in a toasty, bacon finish that lingers for a long time, but is unfortunately a little weak-chested.
