    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love its harmony: vibrant tropical fruit and refined esters wrapped in buttery pastry notes, with wood beautifully integrated after 40 years. Pineapple, yellow fruits and banana lead an oily, elegant palate; alcohol is seamlessly woven and the finish lingers. A popular favorite with 102 reviews and just 203 bottles released—'Old Jamaican rum matured to perfection'—a confident pick for balanced, complex Long Pond character.

    Edit Edit: 24.12.2024 added to the bottlekill. After 3 months in the open bottle, it has once again developed positively in my opinion. Rightly voted Rum of the Year 2024. Edit: now tasted again from the fresh bottle. Simply brilliant. Tasted calmly and with time. For me, it's one of the best I've ever had in a glass. If nothing better comes along in the near future, I'll give it another better rating. Tasted together with Chris2302 some time ago. Many thanks to the donor at the time who made this possible for both of us 😀 (a little tip: it was on the 2nd GAF, so it's not difficult to find the donor 😉 ) I thought the smell was bomb. After the first sip, we agreed that this is a drop that will easily break the 9! Anyone who has the opportunity to try it. Do not hesitate! Insane part!!! Drink of the gods!

    This is honestly an excellent bottling. Rich and complex with a very nice depth to it. Compared to other bottlings of the vintage I had so far, this bottling does not feel watery but delivers significant power and richness. Very much on the top of my list of very long aged LPs.

    An unbelievable grenade... Fruity, complex and lengthy - these are probably the key characteristics. Wonderfully full-bodied and harmonious as the aromas unfold in the glass. In May Tai a reference as far as Long Pond is concerned, actually even as far as Jamaica rum in general is concerned. I am really enthusiastic.

    All I can say is: Hands off! 😜 Dangerous stuff! Dangerously drinkable. Alcohol never noticeable. Fruity on the nose like straight juice, with an elegant tingle on the palate. Congratulations, Rob and Distilia! This rum really has everything you could wish for in a rum. That there are still bottlings like this nowadays ...
