“Very similar to TECA, but inferior as a result of an overly pungent and damned annoying herbaceous note. That said, it is a great distillate where the alcohol is excellently integrated. Nail polish, esters, glue, solvents accompanied by toastiness, peanuts, wood, light pineapple and perhaps pastry (less pronounced than TECA). What amazes me about these Long Ponds is the fact that the solvent part does not come across as pungent or annoying, but rather is perfectly balanced and integrated. Let's hope for more future bottlings! I love the English style because it churns out strong rums!”

“#8 RumXHighE(a)ster weeks: Blind tasting: Jamaica i think i already had this in glass, it‘s from Long Pond for sure. I think it‘s the TECA 2003 approx 17. years of aging approx. 60% High ester Result: What an ester, glue bomb. Smells like you have openend 10 tubes of UHU. Very cool combinations with fruits. A high impact of overripe fruits, smashed bananas and a splash of citrus. The alcohol and barrel is integrated good. I enjoyed this one a lot Update: Still one of the best LP ever”

“What a device. Certainly one of the highlights of the series for me. Pure esterwucht but very complex. Not suitable for every day. Right grenade the thing. Now off to the Mai Tai with it (he was outstanding).”

“Again, a real uber-rum with a phenomenal aroma fireworks! Everlasting finish. For me, however, it is a bit too astringent and therefore does not quite come up to the outstanding quality of the TECAs.”

“E(a)sterweeks 2022 - Day 8Blind I had confused it with the TECA. Rating remains unchanged.Krasses stuff! What a nose!Goes very in the direction of glue and solvents but also very fruity. But incredibly complex.Palate: full load of esters and tropical fruits. But again, there are always new flavors behind the wall of glue. The 62.5% is not noticeable. In sum, too heavy for everyday enjoyment but an impressive demonstration of what is possible!The finish mirrors the flavors of nose and palate with the emphasis on barrel and chocolate.What a rum! Kudos to Luca Gargano for demonstrating the Long Pond Marks in this series of bottlings.”

“The big Jamaican funk high ester and fruit bomb. At the beginning the solvent takes a lot of space then it lets pass a big basket of ripe exotic fruits, which explode in mouth with a nice acidity. In the background the pleasant pastry almond. In the end it's a big slap, but that not everyone will like. Personally I find it a bit too "white spirit" to be an excellent rum.”

“Glue and solvents first embellish the nose.then very ripe fruits, banana.funky as you wish.on the palate, wow, it rips. Glue, esters, solvent, cane, wood, ripe fruits. it's rich.the progression in mouth is top. We go from spicy to fruity to sweet. This sensation! Great.The finish brings heaviness. Smokiness, iodine. A side of barbecued beef :)And this rum is of an interminable length.My number one.”

“Rum x Easter 24.4.22: Was also at Long Pond. It's not that distinct on my palate. From the nose to the finish, I got a relatively strong gummy taste. The empty glass tastes like isostar powder. In the mouth still comes a strong acidity and citrus.Good rum, but I am bothered by the strong acidity. Edit: citrus acid remains too present for me”

“wow. full load of nail polish and overripe, almost rotten extremely sweet pineapple, slight tendency to vinegar and generally fermented fruit.tastes then really like extremely fermented pineapple juice, just before it becomes vinegar and in addition a lot of glue and compost notes, almost no longer drinkable but somehow in a perverse way also horny🤣zumteil it also totally reminiscent of caraway, and sour pickles🙈 in the finish then more and more vinegar, and sour grapefruit and old banana and pineapple.Overall totally umami and an absolute taste explosion⚡ but you must also have real Bock on it🤣”

“Probably 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.”

“Nose is top and the finish also very tasty and complex. In the Antrunk on tongue and palate me a little too acid-heavy and the Edter a little too aggressive in relation to the associated taste. But that turns in the back as said for the better.”
