Rum Nation Long Pond Small Batch Rare Rums 1986
Most love the round, fruity Long Pond character and smooth integration of Oloroso. Critics find the sherry finish dominant, the ester level modest, and the overall profile a bit thin for 30 years. Consensus: tasty but not legendary.
Fans of gentler Jamaican profiles who enjoy sherry influence, smooth sipping strength around 50%, and fruit‑forward rums rather than aggressive funk or heavy oak.

How does this rum taste?
Soft Long Pond wrapped in sherry
If you like softer Long Pond or sherry‑finished rums, this hits a sweet spot: plenty of fruit and smoothness, just don’t expect high‑ester fireworks or massive depth for the age.
Those chasing high‑ester Long Pond power, big cask‑strength intensity, or very wood‑driven, ultra‑complex 30‑year rums.

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.
