How does this rum taste?
Old‑school Long Pond, balanced and powerful
If you enjoy balanced, mature Jamaicans like aged Hampden or other 80s Long Pond, this is a clear step up in age and refinement without becoming a woody oak bomb.
Those sensitive to 57% ABV, beginners expecting an easy, sweet sipper, or funk‑chasers looking for an intense ester bomb over refined maturity.

Ehrensampl !!! Danke mein Freund 😓 Toller alter LONG POND... Alkohol top eingebunden. Richtig lecker... nicht im Ansatz zu Holzig... schön ausbalanciert und Harmonisch mit Früchten und Holzigkeit. Top Mai Tai... einfach geil !!
A precise nose reminiscent of a rum from another era. Banana, tobacco, dried fruit, yellow fruit, vegetal notes and a hint of menthol make up this complex, assertive nose. The palate also has the precise character of rums from another era. Dried fruit, leather, chocolate and a slightly offbeat cough syrup character. The finish is balanced and long. A beautiful, endearing rum that, in a way, reminds me of the clarity of a Bally 1970, even if the false taste of cough syrup spoils the party a little.
The perfect balance of edgy and easy drinking.First a wonderful freshly polished old dresser with some red fruit. In the mouth then a bit edgier and very interesting.The review refers to Cask
Hohe Long Pond Qualität, leichte Holzigkeit. Runde Süße. Leider nicht so gut wie das Schwesterfass.
