    The Small Batch Rare Rums is an exemplary Jamaican rum distilled in 1986 at the renowned Long Pond distillery and aged for 30 years. With an ABV of 48.7% and limited to just 800 bottles, this rum offers a luxurious blend of prunes, raisins, and tropical fruits on the nose, complemented by a velvety palate with funky, cherry, and banana notes. While appreciated for its smooth finish, some find the sherry influence overpowering. The rum's complex character, enhanced by its rare, long aging process, is perfect for those seeking an intriguing, finely crafted spirit.

    "great stuff in principle but really a pity why you have to put something so noble 6 years in sherry barrels. unfortunately also relatively quickly gone and not particularly present. Unfortunately, sherry dominates for the most part..."

    "Tasted on the brilliant Spree tour with Kirsch for the 12th GRF: A little disappointing, not very aromatic and almost a little thin. Would have deserved a second chance with more time and air"

    "tropical fruits, spice hints, combined with Sherry character(LPCH is same). Nice light Long Pond, again my favourite blend, a hint of sherry's finishing through the barrel adds to the wine's luster."
