Great old Long Pond. Beautiful heavy wood notes. Long finish. Really outstanding. Hazelnut note. Noticeably better than the other Berry Bro LP82, RX899.
Very nice old and intense Long Pond. Of course, the taste is not comparable with new vintages due to the lack of ester. A completely different profile. Here you will find heavy and complex wood and spice notes. Great but relatively bitter on the finish.
The long maturation brings out the barrel notes here in a very harmonious way: clove, vanilla, coconut on the nose. On the palate: liquorice, roasted notes, dark chocolate and dried fruit. I like it very much!
A very nice Long Pond with a nice intense profile. Flavours are there from opening the bottle and only gets better while resting. Roasted wood mixed with fruits and spices. Well balanced and good ABV integration. I like the caramel in the profile. Made a note that the empty glass had coffee and very light licorice notes.
