How does this rum taste?
The Rare Cask VRW from Long Pond Distillery in Jamaica offers a complex aromatic profile with esters, tropical fruits, and woody notes. Distilled in 2003 using a John Dore Pot Still and aged for 18 years, it is bottled at cask strength with an ABV of 60%. Notable for its intense and elegant flavor, the rum reveals woody, tropical fruit, and baking spice notes, appealing to experienced enthusiasts. However, its premium price has been a significant point of contention, as similar quality is available at lower cost. Users appreciate its well-integrated alcohol and balanced complexity, although the standout price remains a frequent critique among enthusiasts on RumX.

A really beautiful and incredibly intense LP VRW! Just the right amount of wood, combined with candied ginger and baked banana, light tannins and tart esters, plus a nice spiciness and overall just very elegant and complex. But it's still not worth >600€, there are plenty of other VRW vintages that cost a fraction and offer a similarly delicious aroma profile!
Despite the "low" ester content, a real bomb with lots of fruit on a wooden bowl. If it weren't for the price, all Jamaica fans wouldn't have to think twice.
Sehr guter runder Long Pond. Mir gefällt die hohe Intensität bei gleichzeitiger Ausgewogenheit. Zu den großen Long Pond Vertretern von Velier fehlt aber noch ein gutes Stück. Wenn man den Preis mit in den Blick nimmt, fällt für mich die Entscheidung ganz klar für die Velier Abfüllungen aus.
27.08.2022 German Rum Festival Oh dear, I totally forgot to add this one, maybe because of the price tag it had. A pretty good rum but the price tag is really out of bounds compare to other similar bottlings. But of course "Rare Cask" adds to the value 😊 Notes. Ester, polish and overripe fruit on the nose. Palate is oily and fresh with lots of fruit and wood. Finish is medium to long with, fruit, ester and wood with a light smoky note.
