"2023 and I still love it though at the last bottle 😊 Another wonderful bottling from Valinch & Mallet. Happy that I got my hands on 2 bottles. Remember to rest for 15-20 minutes to release all those wonderful flavours. 2021.12.10 Sitting in my recliner right now enjoying this wonderful rum. No wonder people like it, real funk and fruits from Jamaica. I have the entire series and the general quality level is very high."

"This is a Long Pond just the way I like it... complex with funk, fruit, spice, wood and toasty sweetness. That's exactly how it should be, it's a good thing I still have a bottle to call my own. V&M did a great job and got a perfect bottling"

"incredibly harmonious easy Sipping long pond. seeeehr cool, I would have liked to buy a bottle...🤤 nice mix of dark chocolate, baked banana with sesame, espresso, ginger and orange+grapefruit zest, some mirabelle plum and pear, maple syrup and roasted pecans. It's not until the finish that the signature baked banana comes through subtly with a nice freshness of toasted sesame and mint. brutally delicious stuff!⚡ I like it even a good bit better than the Velier vrw 12y 💯 for me the best VRW on the market!"

"Pas de grosse surprise, les solvants typiques de la Jamaïque s’offre au nez immédiatement. Mais la salade de fruits tropicaux fait très vite son apparition. Le nez est très élégant avec une touche de miel très gourmande. L’ensemble est très agréable avec des effluves de légères épices et de boisé. En bouche, c’est dans la trame du nez, très fruité, à nouveau sur les fruits tropicaux et la fraise. C’est très léger et équilibré avec un boisé tout en douceur. Les 56.8% sont parfaitement fondu. Belle longueur plus sur le café qui s’estompe agréablement au fil du temps. "
