Review by zabo
Wow, wieder mal ein sehr gelungener Long Pond meiner Meinung nach. Finde diesen sehr süffig und macht Lust auf mehr. Und wie es nun mal bei mir so üblich ist, habe ich ihn völlig überraschend auch als Mixer ausprobiert. Super lecker.
Review by Frank
Very reserved nose, needs some time. Then comes slightly fruity with plantain and a hint of papaya. Fine ester notes are there. But also this dry spicy of leather and tobacco and a slight sweetness of honey.Delicious, spicy on the palate. A nice light sweetness with a slight bitter note. Leather and tobacco are back. Anise comes in the back with esters (but not much).In the finish it remains salty bitter and goes towards tea.I like.

Review by Alexander Rasch
Spannender Low Ester Long Pond. Hier ist viel los. Warm am Gaumen mit einem fleischig, süßem Profil und dann Kühl im Abgang mit Menthol. Die Nase hat richtig viel Vanille und Frucht. Lecker und einfach zu trinken. Hier kann lange geforscht und gleichzeitig einfach gesippt werden. P/L=👌
Review by Schnubbi
Kein schlechter, aber für mich ein völlig unspektakulärer Long Pond. Fruchtig und sonst ganz nett, aber für mich kein Vergleich z. B. zum tollen Wu Dram LPS.
Review by bossi
In crosstasting, this rum has the least esters, but the most vanilla, toffee and acidity. Unfortunately, however, acidity without any recognizable fruit aromas. On the palate there are sweet spices, vanilla, toffee and also a few fruits. The body is flatter and the aroma profile is significantly smaller than that of the other candidates. This rum reminds me more of rums from the Uitvlugt '98 batch than of a Jamaican. The finish is medium to short, slightly acidic and mineral with notes of vanilla and toffee. Only subtle aniseed aromas from the finish point to a rum from Long Pond. Not a bad rum, but the worst from my crosstasting. 76 points
