Corman Collins Long Pond Old Jamaique 30 Years 1982
Don't expect the usual Long Pond ester bomb here — 30 years in bourbon casks has tamed the funk right down. What's left is elegant and rounded: dried fruit and prunes, oak, dark chocolate, vanilla and coffee, with just a whisper of overripe banana and solvent underneath. One taster called it "un gentleman," not a young storm. The 50% is fully melted in.
The community says- Rounded and harmonious
- Great ABV integration
- But: Not very funky

Aggregated from 16 community reviews.
Elegant, wood-driven old Jamaican, funk faded Members love how the long ageing rounded out the Long Pond DNA into something elegant and wood-driven. Not hyper-complex, but harmonious and very drinkable — the funk lovers may miss the solvents.

Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Another really nice Corman Collins. Medium intense profile with light fruit and nice wood. Nice ABV integration and a warm silky touch to the palate. The empty glass is really nice and I can pick up some chocolate and coffee.
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
Big surprise, it's atypical, far from the solvents and tropical fruit salad of Long Pond. It's more reserved, with apple, lemon and chocolate. The nose is very woody-spicy but very elegant, with a touch of honey. The whole is very pleasant and goes against the grain of what Jamaica is today. On the palate, it's in the same vein as the nose, with apple-pear combined with spices. It's very light and balanced, with a gentle woodiness. The 50% is perfectly blended. The coffee finish fades pleasantly.
