Precious Liquors Long Pond Jamaican Rum 2001
Pineapple, mango and papaya lead here, wrapped in glue, marzipan and a roasted, faintly medicinal edge that says Long Pond right away. At 51% and 21 years, the alcohol sits well-integrated and the texture turns oily and creamy with time. A few tasters flag a thin, short finish, but most find it rounded, fruity and easy for its age.
The community says- Tropical fruit basket
- Integrated alcohol
- But: Thin, short finish

The look inside the bottle
How does Precious Liquors Long Pond Jamaican Rum 2001 taste?
Aggregated from 72 community reviews.
Fruity, medium-ester Long Pond, gently boozy Most tasters find this a rounded, fruit-forward Long Pond with well-tucked alcohol and medium ester funk. The recurring gripe: a finish that can turn thin and short.

Review by Schnubbii
Tropical fruit and pineapple on the nose, less sweetness and more acidity than the WDC. On the palate, a very nice and round LPS with lots of tropical fruit, the pineapple is not as candied compared to the WDC, which I like a little better in the WDC. But otherwise a brutally round and tasty wine, no question. The finish is still tropical fruit, but compared to the WDC, the toffee is a little lacking here. For me personally, the WDC is the winner, but I also really, really like this bottling from Precious Liquors.
Review by Basti
The nose is already somewhat Hampden-like. Ester, some glue and solvent, floral notes, fermented and tropical fruits, slightly buttery. Super oily/creamy in the mouth, feels really good. Ester present here too with tropical fruit and citrus flavors, licorice, olive, slightly bitter. I really like Long Pond, but I just don't really want to warm up to the LPS Mark. I already felt that way with the WDC. In general, the tropically matured LPs just suit me better. Nevertheless, a very good LP!
Review by LukaŽiga
8,7:On the nose, the first impression we get is esters, there are juicy tropical fruits like banana, pineapple, that quickly melt in delicious marmelade. We cannot miss roasted oak, medicinal notes like glue, molasses with vegetal olive. Aeration brings out herbal notes, grass, citruses with lemon peel and papaya. Well balanced. 8,7:On the palate, the attack is spicy, vegetal and fruity with esters, our tasting buds are attacked with baking spices, a bit bitter molasses with an olive, eucalyptus, perhaps menthol, as the wood is a bit resinous, dry.The fruits are juicy, overripe, like melon strawberry, plum, grapefruit, melted into a tasty marmelade that goes directly in the freshly-baked pastry, with a pinch of a salt. After a nice rest, there is a layer of choc and some licorice. 8,4:The finish is very long with pastry glazed with honey, filled with vanilla cream, fruity, just a bit vegetal, marmelade. The wood is dry, toasted.
Review by Serge
Very fruity nose with a great variety of fruit and marzipan with esters. Pastry, marzipan, lots of sweetness and fruit again on the palate. But I miss some wood maturity ... I thought there would also be some tropical ageing here, but I was probably wrong. Surprisingly, the alcohol is sufficient despite the low ABV ... but could be a bit more. But most importantly: a few tropical years would have been a good fit here - at least for my taste.
Review by SaibotZtar
Wonderful fruity nose delicious marzipan notes ... Ester clearly present but perfectly matching the rum. Woodiness very subtle on the nose. On the palate Slightly oily in the mouth . Alcohol very well integrated... At first it seems a little thin, but this is put into perspective as it lingers in the mouth and develops into a delicious fruity marzipan, pineapple and mango compote that you eat with a wooden spoon 😛😛😉 Great LP !!!
Review by Djehey
A long weight reduction with superb results. Very easy to drink, as it's very well balanced. But it also gave it a lot of elegance. It also retains a nice complexity with good readability of aromas. Nose, palate and finish (long) are coherent: very fruity with a very pleasant buttery fatness. Despite the pale color, some woody aromas are present.
Review by Jakob
Still primarily with fresh fruit on the nose, more complex aromas then emerge on the palate. Pastry notes, spices and barrel aromas are added to the tropical fruit potpourri. Nice complexity and balance, even the alcohol strength fits the distillate very well in my eyes - neither too brute nor too thin. Successful!
Review by Werni
Nice Long Pond, but not quite to my taste. The nose is very light and fresh for the 21 years. Marzipan bread with cirus fruit. The palate is somehow hard to describe, every sip is different. Initially with a slight sweetness and the citrus fruits, then woody with strong roasted aromas, confusing. The finish is quite short and unspectacular.
Review by zabo
Wow, I'm really excited about this wine. After some time in the glass, you are rewarded with a super development. It does everything it should and even a little more. It has the full balanced flavor with the "low" ABV without appearing thin or watered down. A very smooth and elegant rum.
Review by Banana Joe
A really great long pond, but one that needs time. If you give it time, you will be rewarded with a great fruit aroma complex of yellow fruits and spices despite the low ABV. A rum for connoisseurs. 0.2 points upwards because I didn't give it the time it needed when I first tasted it.
Review by Boletus
Initially light and refreshingly fruity, without appearing thin, a beautiful creaminess develops in the mouth over time. The oak is a long time coming, but ultimately reveals itself in the finish with a surprisingly high degree of roastiness. A very fine Jamaican rum with surprising twists.
Review by Jarek
Ohh... a very tasty drop! Fruits such as pineapple, banana and lime on the nose. Plus something sticky and sweet, like marzipan or cookies. There are also rusty and woody notes on the nose. The 51% is still OK, but a few percent more would perhaps suit the Rim even better.
Review by F.L.O.
Wow, what an awesome LongPond. Reminds me a lot of the very cool 11442 LPS from duchesse. It doesn't always have to be tropically stored - this one confirms that. The alcohol is perfectly integrated. Fruit, a little wood and medium esters create a harmonious picture.
Review by Léo Delek
Very nice nose, but mouthfeel below par. I have corn bread (and other cereals) and resinous pine ^^. Light solvents and sapotle. Very nice integration of the alcohol, but unfortunately not what I expected from a bottle of this caliber.
Review by Mirco
Great Long Pond with lots of tropical fruits such as pineapple, citrus fruits, mango, melons and papaya. There is also plenty of wood and spice. Although only 51%, the bottling is still very complex. Beautifully balanced and round.
Review by Chrischi78
Very round, soft Jamaican fellow. Typical nose but then really remarkably smooth and round taste with excellently integrated alcohol. The finish is comparatively short. But there's always something!
Review by Mentalo
Great long pond. Alcohol is perfectly integrated. Pleasant sweetness, slightly oily and brings out the tropical fruit basket perfectly. With a hint of marzipan. The finish is unfortunately very thin and the bottling's biggest shortcoming

Really lovely Jamaica! Estery sweet lemon sugar icing cake! 😍
