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.

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.
Nase ordentlich Wumms, ehrlicher jamaikanischer Antritt, verspricht alles; Zunge genauso, 60 charakterstarke Prozente, Funk pur, Hammer, nix für Anfänger, leider zu teuer
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.
