World‑class high‑ester Long Pond

The full load of esters in the nose: glue, solvent, marzipan, pineapple... some barrel and spice...wow On the palate, a strong astringent acidic note and, if I may say so, a taste of marijuana (even after several sips I stick with it and no, I'm clean ;-) )! This is followed by passion fruit and citrus fruits, which then turn into a woody note...and some aniseed. The finish is long, woody and dry... a very unusual and complex rum... it really picked me up Edit: At Mirco's blind tasting TECA/TECC in the glass again...and I'm still thrilled. Good that I still have reserves of the NRJ bottlings 😎
Auto-translatedProbably the best Long Pond I've ever tasted. An exceptional aromatic power in the nose, whether it is for the famous notes of esters, glue, solvent and varnish, the pastry flavors, the very tasty fruity side or the light spices, it is an olfactory delight. On the palate, we find a funky, powerful, intense, complex rum, but above all of an extreme roundness and elegance, carried by the esters and the glue, the ripe tropical fruits and the spicy and woody notes. The rum is also very dry, the tannins make themselves felt, but it is not unpleasant. The finish, of great length, continues on the same framework with smoky notes, almost meat, leather and chocolate. A greedy, aromatic and simply incredible rum.
Auto-translatedIn fact pure one of my favorites... also compared to the top Hampdens. More fruit, complexity and glue, but little pastry and marzipanFind I pure actually great. Just for the first time (in conjunction with my high end counterpart: skeleton 2000) in May Tai, and there it was interesting but not delicious. The sweet pastry and marzipan of Hampdens make the difference hereTherefore perhaps deductions in the B grade, but still world class solo
Auto-translatedMore ester is hardly possible. This rum is so intense that it lingers on the palate for hours afterwards. Definitely not a rum for every day. I always enjoy it, although there are more balanced rums from Long Pond.
