How does this rum taste?
Most love the creamy, buttery esters, tropical fruit and balance. Critics miss more punchy Long Pond funk and note some bitter, woody edges. Overall seen as a highly enjoyable, easy Long Pond sipper.
If you enjoy Hampden Great House or gentler Long Ponds and want something creamier and continental‑aged, this hits a sweet spot of funk, fruit and drinkability at cask strength.
Those expecting a wild Long Pond ester bomb, or drinkers sensitive to higher ABV and a touch of dry, woody bitterness in the finish.

Creamy with nice spice and pastry notes. Rather restrained fruitiness and little funk. Great Long Pond - but I personally lack a bit of effervescence.
Very nice buttery esters, fermented fruit and subtle sweetness on the nose. Honey sweetness on the palate at first, then some buttery esters, young wood and minimal allspice. Creamy and soft on the palate. ABV at a good drinking strength. The finish is medium long with a little more spice and tannins. Re-tasting at Dr. Django: Sticking with my assessment, but lowering it from 9.0 to 8.9
Hazelnut notes. Otherwise very spicy. We didn't give the rum enough time in the tasting. And we already had too much beforehand.
Ein gediegener, cremiger, fruchtiger easy Sipper Long Pond von Rum Artesanal. Das VRW Mark ist grandios, zeigt sich hier aber sehr verhalten. Dieser Rum ist sehr lecker aber im Vergleich mit den Long Ponds aus 2005 (Rom Deluxe oder Habitation) sind das schon Welten.
