Review by Gregor
Nice solid long pond. The orange wine has had very little influence. On the other hand, it is beautifully fruity and intense for this low alcohol strength. Price-performance ratio fits. Clear recommendation to buy/drink
Review by Tschusikowsky
Had the Sedunum bottling. The nose is subtle even if diverse nuances are there. The Orange Wine finish makes the rum very round. Even if I have the impression that the Jamaican notes thereby get into the background. Good trib strength.Good rum that brings some layers of flavor. Fun to drink. Very good PLV.
Review by DomM
While nose and finish are pleasing, the experience on the palate is rather flat and alcohol forwards. Does not meet my expectations for a VRW unfortunately.

#4213 Looking at the price tag you get a good rum at a decent price. Fruity with nice spices and roasted wood notes. The esters are there but just not a lot of them. The empty glass is nice and has some chocolate and very light licorice.
Review by Serge
Skin me now not so from the stool. Still quite alcoholic and somehow I see no sense in the finish. Would probably not have tipped at the first smell on Long Pond ...
Review by Martin Ekrt
Fajnová vůně tropického ovoce, esterů, nějaké chemie a lehce citrusů. Chuťově je to spíš sladký pomeranč s tropickým ovocem a tříslovinou. Lahodné. V závěru už kromě obvyklých jamajských podezřelých je znát grapefruitová hořkost.
Review by Adrian Wahl
Bit soft rinsed :). From the finish I do not perceive much, but I miss a little the LP flavor. Price solid number.
Review by Johannes
Not a typical LP profile. Somewhat alcoholic, light citrus notes, somewhat flat.
Review by Morgan Garet
Very greedy nose of vanilla, cocoa and sugar, enhanced by a slight woodiness and glue. After a little aeration, the fruit comes forward, including ripe banana, followed by a timid orange finish. The orange is much more present on the palate from the 1st sip, with a slight spiciness and sweetness. Vanilla, wood and a "vinous" note are also present. The finish is less greedy, with spices and menthol. Nice surprise👍
Review by Richard Krupa
Citrusy, fresh, sweet, but not quite Jamaica

Review by Quentin Leseigneur
A fine Jamaican rum. Very fruity on the nose. Taste marked by the finish with a certain bitterness.
