    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.

    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.

    Tasted a while ago, I'm going back over my notes. It's great. Jamaica as I like it, not the ester bomb of the diluted white spirit type, but a fantastic delicacy. Excellent.

    The fruitiness and the focus of this one just blew me away!
