    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love the funky ester nose with marzipan, glue and tropical fruit, banana and pineapple lead. The palate is spicy and fruity with honey, vanilla and oak, edged by a salty-mineral touch. Despite 62.5%, the alcohol is well integrated and the finish is long and warm. A popular Long Pond favorite with 187 reviews and only 3,648 bottles. Give it a short rest and sip neat.

    Excellent on fresh fruits coated with vanilla and bourbon. 🤤

    02.05.2024 Retasting and I still love this release a lot. Once rested it releases a wide array of flavours. Would have love more of these bottles in the shelf but unfortunately hard to find or very expensive. --------------- This is a unique and well balanced rum with intensity. Close to the perfect rum!

    Insanely delicious ... 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 means I probably need two new bottles to find out the ultimate favorite of one of my favorite brands. Update: tasted from the freshly opened bottle, corrected upwards again. Really delicious.

    An incredible array of aromas and high complexity. Beautiful sticky and fruity notes on the nose. Lots of spices, wood and even citrusy hints of lemon or orange peel. Very powerful and spicy on the palate. Something dry and woody follows. Then the aromas from the nose with tropical fruits and some honey. In addition to the impressive complexity, the warming 62.5% vol. is also well integrated. The long finish adds an interesting mineral component alongside the spiciness. Honey, liquorice and woody notes finish everything off nicely. I hardly need to mention that the term "funkiness" extends from the nose to the finish. Fantastic bottling - just Long Pond Velier. Thanks to mentalo for the sample.
