Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This rum burns into the beginning but after a short while in your mouth it releases an explotion of taste. A very well balanced rum where the alcohol doesn't dominate but integrates well.
Review by Piddusan
Very floral bouquet both at nose and attck, super elegand and subtle, yet evolving and complex. Unique rum indeed

Review by TheRhumhoe
Véritable mythe parmi les rhums jamaïcains, ce Long Pond offre une expérience unique en son genre. Le voyage olfactif débute sur une étonnante fraîcheur florale, des notes herbacées et de l’olive. Le boisé est fin malgré le compte d’âge très avancé. Les épices se manifestent avec une pointe de vanille et de réglisse qui vient chatouiller les narines. On retrouve également les esters, la colle, le vernis, mais aussi les agrumes et les fruits tropicaux (banane, ananas) et une touche pâtissière. Il y a un très bel équilibre aromatique, c’est à la fois très élégant et complexe. L’aération lui fait du bien. L’attaque en bouche est absolument exquise. Les épices viennent rapidement pour relever le palais, puis arrivent les fruits exotiques, qui s’estompent assez rapidement pour laisser place à une myriade d’autres saveurs. Les notes médicinales et funky sont particulièrement élégantes et fines en bouche, au même titre que le chêne, le cuir et ce côté empyreumatique qui se développe sur le bacon, le caoutchouc et des notes de fumé. On conserve également une touche végétale et herbacée qui apporte de la fraîcheur. C’est un rhum raffiné, à la texture singulière, qui croustille et pétille en bouche. L’alcool est remarquablement conservé. La finale dure aussi longtemps que le vieillissement de ce rhum, sur un boisé fin mais relevé par les épices (poivre, vanille). Les tanins s’immiscent en bouche pour apporter cette chaleur et cette sécheresse, contrastée par les fruits (tropicaux et secs) et la fraîcheur qui persiste. Le côté funky reste également en bouche. Un véritable monument du monde du rhum, qui n’est pas aussi marqué que d’autres cuvées mais qui demeure d’une subtilité incroyable, équilibré et ultra complexe.
Review by Joachim Guger
A wonderful, multi-layered nose, you can spend hours with it. Varnish and solvents dominate, tropical fruits, the next turn brings cocoa. After that, light rancio notes. Herbs and green olives. Like the color overall amazingly youthful.In the mouth a touch woodier, tropical fruit and very rusty.A long - very spicy - finish that makes your mouth water .😄A really great, interesting rum. Surprisingly youthful for its age. The NRJ DNA is well discernible. Must have been the perfect barrel...😄Objective of course difficult to judge.😉At the turntable turns Studio One, what else.

Today really something extraordinary in the glass! To the frame data: distilled in 1941, shipped to UK in 1946, 1967 from G
Review by Pavel Spacek
Extremly mild with esters and taste that we know from LP. Integrated alcohol. It is missing just the full taste that fill your mouth. This one is like if you wash your mouth with mild acohol. Not like if you pop up bonbon with aroma filling.
Review by Oliver
Very intense herbal note. Rather reminiscent of a (very good) rum from Saint Lucia.
