The tropically aged Long Ponds simply have a great flavor profile that I enjoy very much: fruit esters meets wood and an always discreetly present sweetness. This bottling also joins the high quality ranks of Velier bottlings from Long Pond seamlessly. In direct comparison with the 2010 release, it is clearly more powerful, but also more aromatically present - which is not least due to the additional volume percentages. Both play far in front.

#10 RumXHighE(a)ster weeks: Blind tasting: Jamaica i think i already had this in glass, maybe from clarendon 20+ years of aging approx. 60% Mid ester My prediction the RA clarendon EMB. Result: Very harmonious, good balanced, round Long Pond. Pleasant to drink with 550/700 hlpa of ester. I see this one between the TECC and the vale royal vrw.

Unfamiliar to me, I have a feeling.Nose:Nutty, caramel, chocolate, tobacco, deep roasted aromas, tropical fruitMouth:Fruity, fresh, a bit tangy, spicyFinish:Peach, mirabelle plum, apple, chocolate, brown sugar, get. ApricotsFirst thought on the nose was Guyana, but the peach on the finish didn't suit me.Would have said 55-58%, relatively low esters, around 10 years.Thought of a Worthy Park. After all, the island right 🙃

In direct comparison with the 2010 for me slightly weaker, because edgier and more alcoholic like the 2010. Nevertheless, a very good Long Pond.

Second tasting with the 2010 STCE in the other glass. Still a top rum. The 2010 is slightly ahead for me because it seems more differentiated on the nose and palate. Blind tasted E(a)sterweeks 2022 - Day 10Nose unusual and powerful, mango and resin strikes me particularly next to vanilla, esters and bourbon barrel.On the palate a medicinal note and herbs. The alcohol is clearly noticeable.The finish is long and warming and mainly determined by barrel and spice.A fat rum that can entertain the whole evening and is very complex and multilayered.

SPOILER: I’m sooo biased with Long Ponds! Delicious.. all the tropical fruits (pineapple, banana, papaya) wood, sweet caramel and a buttery flavor in the background. On the palate, is astringent, warm and amazing: salted caramel, spices, vanilla and that typical- yet, non overwhelming- meaty note for LPs. Finish is warm, salty, woody and very long. I truly love this NJR bottlings!

the Vale Royal dug out again for the comparison. ABV and maturity concerning almost identical, but the Cambridge has a significantly higher ester content. The Cambridge seems a bit more fruity and floral (violet) on the nose, which I like better. On the palate, I find the Vale Royal again better, more balanced and with more spicy-roasty notes. The Cambridge has more spiciness and there are more salty notes on the finish. In total, a draw 🤷♂️

Insanely tasty ... In direct comparison with the 2010 STCE from NRJ, this one is a tick behind for me - however, I tasted the 2010 when opening the bottle and this one from the sample of an already opened bottle. That is, I probably need two new bottles to find out the favorite of one of my favorite marks ultimate.

Day 10 in the RumX-Ester calendar, blind.The nose is directly fun, here is a not quite high-est rum waiting to be enjoyed. Spontaneously I would guess Hampden, as the Jamaican fruit basket rises to the nose. Maybe a <>H? Possibly some more esters as well. Then a bit of a surprise on the palate: very complex, fruity, but there's more than just the Hampden funk, maybe some chocolate and a citrus, is that grapefruit? My tip goes to Long Pond, so right.Great bottling and once again classy selected for the calendar! Here times something moderate funk, but very pleasant and not at all boring, could smell it for hours. Too bad that the sample is so small. But still tastes long after, so you still have a bit longer of it!

Stronger on the nose than on the palate. Tropical fruit mix, citrus notes and a dash of ester. The finish adds salty mineral notes. I'm afraid there's a bit of a lack of complexity here.

Admittedly, I'm not a fan of estrous rums, this is the upper edge for me. Very, very good and complex nose, an herb garden in the mouth. Very interesting, you have to deal with it longer. Craft absolutely top, very transparent description. But my favorite of the series remains the Vale Royal.

Wow, what a board. Of which I can really only drink a little :D extreme rum. Very demanding, powerful, with a nice dry finish.2nd tasting. I must unfortunately deduct a few points. For me, there's just too much nail polish involved. :D

What a slap that this magnificent cambridge. If you find the mbs too light or the tecc and teca too heavy this one is going to fill you.Even without airing it it will propose you a beautiful greediness but by airing it about ten minutes it will reveal itself even more greedy, powerful and subtle. A beautiful matter in mouth neither too dry nor too syrupy.A superb length.A must have which has my taste holds the very high dragée with jamaicans or trinidad of prestige.

Better, more complex and more powerful than the 2010. A treat once again. Big hit at ♥️

It's a long and very well-balanced pond with a lot of "solvent and overripe fruit" ester but which are quickly counterbalanced by a big greediness in the finish.
