How does this rum taste?
The Long Pond ITP 1998 Rum, aged for 25 years, offers a distinctive Jamaican profile. Bottled by Rest & Be Thankful, this rum presents a vibrant aromatic bouquet of citrus, vanilla, esters, and a touch of tropical fruit. Tasting notes highlight tropical fruits, nutty and spicy elements, with nuances of vanilla and wood integrating well. It carries a 54.7% ABV, offering a balance of natural sweetness with underlying roasted and woody notes. Though appreciated for its smooth complexity and fruity profile, it can also be perceived as somewhat overpriced and lacking in the extreme depth that some Jamaican rums provide. Nonetheless, it remains a unique expression favored for its long aging and potent flavor profile. This rum is valued in the RumX marketplace and review community.

This is an idiosyncratic Long Pond ITP. It somehow looks younger to me than it is. Blindly, I would probably have classified it more with Clarendon. On the palate and in the aftertaste, I do notice the age and, unfortunately, mainly in an intense woody note with tannins and bitterness. In my opinion, there are better and cheaper representatives. Nevertheless, a good rum!

Palate Oily, light roasted wood, fruits, light ester, medium spicy, naturally sweet, light chocolate. Finish Medium long, oily, light roasted wood, citrus. Slow moving curtains in the glass. The empty glass has some chocolate, light vanilla and faint mint.
Taste is sweet and incredibly fruity
Master tasting of Rest & Be Thankful by RumX This Long Pond has a beguiling nose... sweet and fruity it spreads its aromas... On the palate it continues like this...light and soft, it gels this sweetness and fruitiness (passion fruit), a light spiciness joins it. The finish continues in the same way. This is a very good LP, for me personally it lacks a little complexity
