    How does this rum taste?

    • Fresh tropical fruit aromas
    • Distinct rye whiskey influence
    • Complex, evolving palate

    Tropical fruit, woody spice, and rye whiskey notes lead the profile of this Long Pond release, with aromas of banana and pineapple and a palate marked by complexity and freshness. Community reviewers highlight its round, fruity charm and unique rye finish, though some wish for a higher ABV or less wood influence. Worth a sip for fans of adventurous, dessert-style Jamaican rums.

    "Has reminded me in the blind tasting rather of a St. Lucia. Good rum!"

    "A little too strongly watered down thereby he suffers very strongly mMn. On the whole, however, tasty ... nice fruity and not too woody. Finish rather short ..."

    "A classic Long Pond from Plantation. The nose is rather shy and reserved, the exotic fruits are discreet, as well as the phenolic notes. Some spices and notes of wood, burnt sugar and toffee come to decorate this rather simplistic and summary profile. We have a firm and phenolic side and some tropical fruits, but it is especially the spices and the wood which arrive in the background which are finally the most noticed. There is a slight smoky side that comes in after a bit of aeration, but the rum remains overall very light and lacks intensity and depth. The finish is short, with some bitter notes, cinnamon, chilli, nuts and caramel that accompany the fruits and a light smoky veil.A rather dull rum that loses too much of its potential with dilution. It would have been interesting to have a version with about ten degrees more. The quality / price ratio is moreover rather debatable."

    "Really great thing. Beautiful complexity. Fruits and rum at the start and then the flavor transition to Rye Whisky paired with floral notes. The rye profile is very nicely present. Nice one."
