“Classy Jamaican with subtle, fruity elegance.”

The "No. 4" Long Pond rum from Nobilis Rum is a distinguished, limited release Jamaican rum, distilled in 2000. Aged for 20 years, crafted from molasses via pot still, and bottled at cask strength with a 54.9% ABV, its profile includes rich banana, pineapple, and vanilla notes. Revered for its tropical and fruity esters with a hint of marzipan and roasted nuances, it strikes as classy yet a bit restrained. Despite its allure, feedback suggests a lack of complexity and intensity compared to other notable releases, with some critics pointing out the price and bitterness. Notably, the integration of alcohol is praised, creating a balanced yet distinct sipping experience. Limited to only 187 bottles, this vintage piece offers elegance for discerning palates.

“Very fruity funky in the nose also a lot of tropical fruits in mouth with a solid finish. The alcohol is integrated very well. Pleasant to drink. Summary: Very good long pond, but not worth 500,00€+”

“Ok, but not fully convincing. Has the power of a young Hampden, but with more herbs and spices. Water takes a bit of the sharpness. Not so mine.”

“20 yo LP, it should be able to do something...Nose: fruity-ester-spicy. Intense esters at the start, accompanied by tropical fruits, papaya and pineapple, but also mealy banana and fresh, sweet lemon. The esters clearly bring vinegar as well as glue and polish. All wrapped up in tart sweetness from maple syrup. Some wood or cardboard delicately at the back. I mean, 20 years continental does not create the density and integrated sweetness as comparable 20 years tropical. 85Palate: yet different than the nose suggests. First astringent, bitter-salty, then the esters come immediately. Now comes nicely tart bitter lemon zest and pineapple. These are replaced by toasty, slightly bacony aromas. Behind that, spicy and intense licorice. The esters come in again at the back. Not a totally round LP, a bit too bitter, but the bacon licorice note is interesting. 85”

“RA / Nobilis / TRC: Very nice and mellow fruity notes with honey in all three. TRC is noticeable more woody/aged on the nose, however. RA most fruity and powerful on the palate. Nobilis somewhat tamed with noticeable less fruits. Wood and some smoke enter the picture. TRC with very nice combination of wood and fruits. Most elegant of the trio. Nice vintage/mark for enjoyable Jamaican sippers. 😊”

“neben gereiften tropischen Früchten an der Nase auch viele frische Noten: Zitrusfrüchte, frische Gartenkräuter (Kerbel?) und Gewürze. Der Gaumen ist sehr würzig, unterlegt mit einer dezenten Süße Richtung Sahnebonbon oder Milchschokolade. Guter LP, im Vergleich zum gerade verkosteten RA LP 2000 und Whisky Jury LP 2005 wirkt er jedoch etwas ‚zahm‘.”

“I would define this rum as weirdly Jamaican: the nose is waaay less funky than other long ponds I’ve tasted..There’s indeed some fruits (banana, pineapple) both on the nose and on the palate, but I totally miss all the buttery, meaty sensation that I love from LP..this one seems more elegant and “classy”, if I may. The wood from the barrel is not overwhelming, giving some spiciness (vanilla and cinnamon) to the rum. Overall, I liked it, although, for my idea of LP, I would not buy a whole bottle of it!”

“Le nez m'a franchement déçu.. En bouche c'est tout de même bien mieux mais ça manque clairement d'intensité.. C'est bon c'est indéniable mais le prix est bcp trop élevé vu ce qu'il y a dans le verre”

“Vevůni klasicky tropické ovoce a estery. V tomto případě maličko octové, ale jako celej je vůni velmi příjemná. V puse se otevře teochu trpkého angreštu. Později se projeví octové estery. Celé je to zaobalené do zvláštní hořkosti, ale jako celek mě to baví.”
