A Long Pond that whispers rather than shouts — the nose is shy at first, then opens into cooking banana, papaya and vanilla, with leather and tobacco holding the dry side. This is the low-ester end of Jamaica: fruity and easy-drinking, with just a whisper of that classic funk. A few drops of anis and salt round out a warm, spicy 54.6% palate.
The community says- Ripe banana fruit
- Easy to sip
- But: Shy on the nose

How does Duncan Taylor Long Pond Single Cask Rum 2000 taste?
Summarized by AI from 15 community reviews.
Fruity, low-ester Long Pond that sips easy Well-liked as an approachable, fruity Long Pond, though a couple of tasters found it unspectacular next to punchier bottles — the low ester count divides opinion.

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
Review by zabo
Wow, once again a very successful Long Pond in my opinion. I find it very drinkable and makes you want more. And as is usually the case with me, I also tried it as a mixer, which came as a complete surprise. Super tasty.
Review by Alexander Rasch
Exciting Low Ester Long Pond. There's a lot going on here. Warm on the palate with a meaty, sweet profile and then cool on the finish with menthol. The nose has lots of vanilla and fruit. Delicious and easy to drink. Here you can explore for a long time and just sip at the same time. P/L=👌
Review by Schnubbii
Not a bad one, but for me a completely unspectacular Long Pond. Fruity and otherwise quite nice, but for me no comparison with the great Wu Dram LPS, for example.
Review by Boletus
The fine, yet quite restrained aroma only hints at the fruity spectacle that is about to unfold in the mouth. From pomaceous fruit such as apple and pear to tropical fruit, there is a lot on offer, but it remains largely neutral. In the finish, it turns in a roasty direction with slightly bacony hints to end with a few fruity residual aromas in a leathery, dry and subtly salty aftertaste.
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.
