Review by Gyuli
베일로얄과 비교가 많이 되던 VRW 마크 럼이어서 같이 놓고 마셔봤습니다. 베일로얄에 담배노트가 특징인 하바나클럽 유니온을 20% 추가한 느낌입니다. 복잡하지 않으면서 열대과일쪽으로 방향성이 확실하고 맛있습니다. 밸런스 측면에서도 좀 더 드라이하고 순해요. (베일로얄은 스윗하면서도 끝이 아주 센편인데 NRJ에서 나온 시리즈가 대부분 피니시가 너무 강했습니다) 맛있을 것 같다는 예상만으로 싱가폴에서 두병을 사 왔는데 마셔보니 잘 한것 같아요 :)
Review by Joachim Guger
A very deep, solid nose. Polished, nutty, tropical fruit. Beautifully melted, therefore difficult to grasp. The alcohol stings a little. Warm and powerful. Then full force in the mouth. Alcoholic burn, pepper, wood. The papillae beg for mercy 😜😜😜😜 Beautiful, long finish. Very woody and spicy, plenty of pepper fresh from the grinder and then an effect like Sechuan pepper. Yes, the finish is the best part. I'm really not a fan of this 🇯🇲 devil's stuff, but I really like this one.
Review by RumTaTa
The tasting glass is completely unsuitable, so this is only a preliminary rating. Very nice, varied nose, a bit of everything: tropical fruit, barrel, spice. Alcohol tweaks a little. A super smooth mouthfeel on the palate, downright creamy! Again lots of tropical fruit and even more barrel and spice. Very balanced and hardly any alcoholic spiciness. The finish is then mainly barrel and spice and hardly any fruit, which is a shame. All in all, an excellent, heavy Jamaican!
Review by Leo Tomczak
Significantly rarer than the NRJ Vale Royal 2006, but no major differences. Slightly drier and more mature, therefore less drinkable. Overall, a little smoke and hardly any fruit. More rough edges instead. I like the NRJ a touch better, but that's subjective on the day. Second tasting: Great rum!
Review by TheRhumhoe
A Long Pond as rare as it is delicious. The nose is very harmonious. There's a fine balance between fruit (pineapple, banana, mango, orange), pastry and sweet notes, spices and phenols (ester, glue, nail polish). The palate is lively and intense with exotic fruits (banana, pineapple, papaya, orange zest, kumquat), esters (nail polish and glue present despite this being only a VRW mark) and spices (ginger, vanilla), with a touch of wood and floral, mentholated freshness. Despite the astringency, the profile is fresh and balanced, complex and appealing, to the delight of the taste buds.the finish is long, warm, with spicy notes, accompanied by esters, leather, acid fruits (lime, bitter orange) and menthol. A very complete rum that demonstrates the depth and breadth of Long Pond's expertise.

The good thing about having lived overseas is that friends can get their hands in rums you normally won't be able to buy. My friend from Singapore send me two samples of this rum and it's great, even when thinking about the price tag. The nose is very fruity and woody with chocolate, nuts, floral notes and chocolate with a hint of vanilla. The palate is complex and very well balanced between fruit, floral notes, wood and spices as well as trailing chocolate, mint, bees wax and a hint of mint. The finish is long and silky with wood, tropical fruits and spices. A great rum i would have loved on my shelves.
Review by Alex1981
Fantastic Long Pond that is great from nose to finish. Complex, powerful, well integrated. Happy to have brought a bottle from Singapore!
Review by Agricoler
Tag 17 Sample de Luxe Kalender: Der macht einfach nur Spass. Geile Kombi aus Gewürzen uns Früchten sowie einigen Estern die sich super um den Rest schmeicheln.
Review by Buddudharma
Tried it at Bar Lamp. Great low-ester Jamaican, complex, deep, with just the right level of intensity. Highly recommended!
Review by DomM
Two VRWs side-by-side: V&M for M&E Singapore and HV for LMDW Singapore: On the nose both are quite balanced with vanilla, wood and tropical fruits. They truely need some time to breath to develop the classic VRW moellow honey and fruit nose. V&M comes with a bit more wood on the nose versus a bit lore punch and fruitiness on the HV. On the palate the pictures are similar. Smooth honey fruitiness with notes from the barrel (ie vanilla, woodieness and some chocolate). Again the V&M is a bit more in the dark side with the HV providing a bit more punch and intensity in the fruit notes. Both are extremly well balanced and round. Very enjoyably. Today the HV is a bit ahead for me.
Review by Thunderbird
Volatile esters and solvents on the nose at first. After some time in the glass, sweet/sour fruit notes and some vanilla appear. On the palate it spreads creamy, again this sweet/sour fruit note (bitter orange, papaya then ginger), then a change towards spices, some wood, metal and roasted. Very complex. The alcohol is very well integrated. The finish is dominated by bitter orange and dried apricot. I quite like the LP
Review by mto75
Another very good VRW! The Marque simply knows how to please! From memory quite similar to the Velier 2006 / 12 yr... with plenty of glue on the nose, fermented fruit, polish, toffee. Allspice, tobacco, cappuccino, barrel on the palate.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Very elegant, balanced and delicious! Dark chocolate, vanilla pulp, candied ginger, ripe mango & banana, some lime, plus leather and wood and a pinch of fresh mint!
Review by John Coffey
The entrance in mouth brings us a big aromatic slap. Nice nose too with these LP markers... Very good
Review by Maxime Clr 🇫🇷
Sublime nose of citrus, mango and elegant oak. On the palate, it's mentholated, a little bitter, and tropical fruits follow. A magnificent bottle, very elegant and a pleasure to return to!
