    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members praise this Long Pond 2005 for creamy texture and well-integrated 62.1% power. Candied fruit and cherry lead an estery nose; on the palate coconut, vanilla and mango meet toasted young wood. Described as round, complex and very drinkable, often sipped neat—some even enjoyed it in a Mai Tai. A popular pick with 55 reviews, though a few note a wood-driven, slightly bitter finish.

    Very good Long Pond! Sticky, spicy and creamy. Relatively high acidity and overripe fruit - intense, but not unpleasant. The profile is also reminiscent of New Yarmouth (2009 vintages). The intensity suggests a tropical (partial) maturation.

    Very drinkable Long Pond ...after 30min in the glass it opens up nicely ...peach and some cherry come through ...I like it very much especially because it is not so woody. Top combination with a HD in Mai Tai. Delicious

    09.07.2021 Attended a nice tasting arranged by a friend of mine. Notes Intense, light wood, ester, varnish, fruity, overripe, light mint, light tobacco, Palate Intense, warm, wood, ester, light citrus, anise, faint vegetal, light glue, faint nutts. Finish Very long and warm, wood, light glue, light nutts, light citrus.

    Perfektní long pond. Nos je na long pondy spíše slabší, přesto nezapře sirupové tóny lepidla, estery a kandované ovoce. V ústech potom krásný komolexní rum, se smetanovou hladkostí, perfektně integrovaným alkoholem, náznakem koření a ovoce. Přijemný závěr. Další ZN ( znovu nalej!) rum.
