Eine absolute Granate ! Zählt zu meinen Top5 Rum. Der LPS ist nahezu perfekt. Der Alkohol ist spitze eingebunden. Ester schwingt ausgewogen und nicht aufdringlich mit. Ganz leicht würzig mit dezent Vanille.
Review by Thunderbird
Ester, as far as the nose reaches... in addition fermented pineapple, delicate vanilla and some citrus... there are almost comparisons to the Hampden C<>H on the palate, also here pushes on comparisons... however, swing here clear nuances of marzipan with .... as well as the finish, would be the alcohol better integrated, the rating could be significantly higher!A strong, but not comfortable rum! With rough edges
Review by Vincent D
Nez très esterisé et fruité. Très funky pour un Long Pond. La bouche est dans la droite ligne du nez. Superbe Long Pond. Une vraie bombe aromatique. Alcool bien intégré. Grosse longueur. Très joli rhum !

Day 6 RumX Calendar The first intuition should simply be trusted jamaica, ~60%, long pond. Delicious stuff, I had guessed the Sponge because I remembered it being just as tasty, but oh well Conclusion: very good rum
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This is a very limited rum and I'm happy i got one. A true Jamaican with lots of funk and nice esters. Lightly woody from nose to finish. Fruits and vanilla completes this intense rum. There is a hint of nuts and floral notes in the back. After a few hours the glass is really nice. Leave to rest for 15-20 minutes before giving it a go.
Review by Righrum
Fruity and herbal, high on esters. A pleasant dram, I am enjoying a lot longpond from early 2000's
Review by Piotr Ignasiak
RX calendar day 6 Mistaken it for a Hampden HLCF. Typical ripe tropical fruit, with very good alcohol integration, some wood noticable, long finish. Enjoyed it alot.
Review by Bapt
Alcool bien intégré, fort en bouche mais agréable
Review by Frank
A pleasant, not too violent nose: esters right up front, almost a bit vinegary. Behind it, immediately the typical fruity associations to ripe, tart pineapple with lime and tangerine. A slight sweetness of honey and marzipan with some vanilla and wood follow. The alcohol holds back nicely.Not as fruity on the palate as it was on the nose. Starts a bit astringent and slightly bitter and woody, then gets a dark chocolate note and some tart nuttiness. Clearly the esters come through with pineapple and citrus (grapefruit peel). And then there's a metallic umami flavor.In the finish, besides esters and pineapple, also marzipan and chamomile at the end.The decent age gives it a few tart notes along with it, causing the fruity to subside. Good LP, but also know better.
Review by Tschusikowsky
Rum X Advent 6.12.2023 Leckeres Teil. Cremig, estrig, komplex im Geschmack, Kaffee, Schokolade, tropische Früchte. Blind war ich bei einem HD. Mag den Rum trotz Säure sehr gut.
Review by Luca
An Weihnachten vor einem Jahr und heute wieder im RumX Kalender. Fruchtiger aber nicht so aufdringlicher Jamaikaner. Sehr lecker, wirkt aber deutlich jünger als er es ist.
Review by mto75
The 2001 LPS that I've had in my glass so far somehow seemed less 'estery' to me from memory. This one can easily keep up with an HD C<>H, also similar in profile, with properly fermented fruit, sour cream; also on the palate, where it becomes rather sour at the end...
Review by Sebastian.W
A nice rum with lots of fruit, pastry and almonds on the nose. I get pretty much the same notes on the palate, but the alcohol is not well integrated.
Review by Manuel
RumX Adventskalender Nr. 6: Sehr fruchtig mit leichten Esternoten. Alkohol gut eingebunden.
Review by Michal S
Pěkná esterově-ovocitá vůně, ale chuť trochu zaostává a místo očekávaného ovoce přichází dřevo. Existují zajímavější Long Pondy.
