    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love this Long Pond’s unusually round, pastry-like profile: vanilla, caramel and coconut meet banana, tropical fruit and chocolate, with gentle wood and roasted tones. Despite 60% ABV, many find it smooth, balanced and accessible, with low esters and little funk. Highly rated by 59 reviewers, this limited 284-bottle release stands out as a complex, surprising ITP Long Pond that enthusiasts feel confident choosing.

    In a blind tasting, I would have guessed a blend of Long Pond and (very good) Belize. Extremely exciting profile. Very approachable yet complex. Atypical and very exciting character. A real highlight in the RumSponge tasting!

    Heavy sweetness of vanilla, caramel and coconut, which briefly make you think of Belize, Barbados or even New Yarmouth 1994 - accompanied by tropical fruits, which due to the ester number in the comparatively low range but appear relaxed and make the rum quite drinkable. Interesting release, which I would not have blindly assigned ad hoc Long Pond.

    Overall a great and complex rum without expected funkiness. The nose is fruity, woody and round with aromas of vanilla and caramel At the palate it’s fruity, spicy, sweet, complex and round with flavors of banana and caramel.

    An ITP and mW the first 2004 LP. The nose goes towards cake dough and toffee, less fruity than eg the LP ITP-15 from 2006. On the palate spicy with allspice, vanilla, barrel. Delicious part!
