Great Rum, I dont onderstand the other ratings of 77.
Review by Frank
An old, but probably mostly continental aged LP already sounds good.Nose: despite the almost 60% initially quite closed. Spicy and slightly woody attack with lots of citrus, lime and tangerine. Behind it a subtle honey note. Matching like vanilla and sweet, soft licorice.Palate: very pleasantly restrained. Spicy-woody with deep esters and a nice umami note. Restrainedly fruity with lemon zest and sour cherry. There's also some licorice in the background again. In addition, something Fiji-usual pencil lead, newsprint.In the yet quite short finish, still licorice, some blackberry and anise.Despite the very pleasant flavor profile a bit too closed.
Review by Gyuli
long pond LSO는 처음 경험해보았습니다. 럼 퀄리티 자는 나쁘지 않습니다만 다른 낮은 에스테르의 long pond에서 맛본 강렬한 열대과일 맛에 비해 부족하다고 느껴집니다. CS 임을 감안해도 여타 vrw/itp 모델에 비해 오크 스파이스는 강하고 더 매콤하며 과일이 약합니다. 23년 숙성보다 좀 더 낮은 숙성 년수의 제품이 있다면 비교해보고 싶네요.
Review by Vincent D
A very soft nose, on pineapple, soft yellow fruits (peach ? apricot ?), a sweetness. It is not very expressive but greedy.in mouth, big spicy, big heat. Esters and very ripe fruits. It is greedy, strong, complex. It evolves in the mouth. Good length in the mouth, on the same notes.it's very good. Greedy and expressive. But not sure it's worth the 250€ for the bottle.Edit: no, it's clearly not worth 250€.
Review by Martin Švojgr
Disappointing for me. LP characterization is quite neglected for me.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
18.06.2022 Running through some samples at home. Notes Light to medium dark in colour. Nose Balanced, light wood, banana, light pineapple, light anise, faint caramel, ginger, light tar, light esters. Palate Oily, light roasted wood, light orange, fruity, light ginger, banana, faint coconut, medium spicy, light anise. Finish Medium long and warm, fruity, banana, light licorice, light citrus, light caramel. Extra note. By adding a little water a whole bouquet of new flavours will appear.
Review by Oliver
Still quite young and beastly on the palate.
Review by Jakob
Unfortunately, rather disappointing. Seems much younger, the maturation is only partly recognizable. Does not convince me.
