Long Pond Rum Artesanal Jamaica Rum 2000
"Not a very complex Long Pond, but just a very good rum," is how one member sums it up. Expect pineapple, overripe fruit and a whiff of glue on the nose, then esters, cream and a fair bit of young oak on the palate. Several tasters find it turning herbal and drying out bitter at the end. A well-integrated 22-year Long Pond that pleases without amazing.
The community says- Tropical fruit
- Well-integrated ABV
- Keep in mind: Bitter, woody finish

How does Long Pond Rum Artesanal Jamaica Rum 2000 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Fruity, easygoing Long Pond, a touch woody Most agree this is a good, easy-drinking Long Pond with tropical fruit and gentle funk, but many feel it's less exciting than other 2000 releases — wood and herbal bitterness creep in.

Most helpful positive review
Beautiful LP Nose very restrained... Sweetish peach, honeydew melon, green apple and very light ester notes. On the palate ... first again an unusual sweetness, immediately some bitterness. Little fruit ... lots of wood and herbs . Not quite convincing on its own... but delivers a decent Mai Tai as a blend.

Not a bad long pond but also not a highlight, taste predominates for me wood and acidic tannins, could have more spice and more fruitiness.Overall good drinking flow but just does not really knock me off my stool.
Review by Adrian Wahl
Not at the level of the other LP 2000
Review by DomM
Nice and rich fruit basket on the nose which I found in other 2000 VRWs. In this one, however, there is also a ton of herbal and vegetal notes which I do not associated with this mark at all. Somewhat more akin to PM notes, maybe..? On the palate it is a bit more as expected. Fruits are a little tamed with woodies and again some herbal notes.
Review by Oliver
Wow, here is directly something going on in the nose! Ester and the fruitiness of a fruit basket are directly present. Clearly more esters and funk than RX7107. Great creaminess on the palate with very well integrated alcohol. I like it very much!
Review by Basti
Delicious Long Pond with well-integrated ABV. Edit: The bottle is almost empty now and for me it remains a successful bottling with good value for money. Ripe fruits, citrus fruits, and some marzipan dominate.
Review by Johannes
I like it very much! He is not an ester bomb, but has nice fruit notes and at the same time creamy chocolate notes. I am only bothered by a minimal gin note.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
#4488 03-04.11.2023 Den Danske Whiskyfestival. Again a special meet up besides the event itself because we think it's a bit too dull. Had a great time with friends again. My notes. Nose: wood, roasted, ester, overripe fruits, glue, light funk. Palate: warm, wood, ester, oily overripe fruits, citrus. Finish: long and warm, ester, fruits Empty glass has light vanilla.
Review by Righrum
An average long pond. I find missing both the fruitiness of continental ageing releases and the ooh effect of tropically aged long pond. On the nose a bit of vinagre that we'll find again when drinking, some sour cream and ananas, traits common also drink side
Review by Timo Groeger
Good Long Pond from Heinz Eggert. Nose typical Jamicca, esters, tropical fruits like pineapple and some glue. On the palate only esters and tropical fruits, just a normal Jamaican as it is written in the book ;-)
Review by Skyfly
Jamaica without Hampden Tasting: Great bottling that's fun; typical Jamaican with lots of tropical fruits and esters. Also young wood, but also roasted aromas and burnt sugar on the palate.
Review by Boletus
Ich finde bei diesem Long Pond ungewöhnlich viele Kräuternoten neben den eher unaufdringlichen Estern mit ihrer sehr ansprechenden Tropenfruchtigkeit. Im Geschmack übernehmen vergorene Zitrusfrüchte, wobei auch eine gewisse jungholzige Bitterkeit mitschwingt, die aber meinen Genuss nur minimal einbremst. Lecker!
Review by Alex Kunath
Initially fantastic nose, which unfortunately dissipates over time. On the tongue quite okay. In the end, unfortunately, only average again. RA could do better...
Review by Alexander Rasch
A very nice LP without being particularly spectacular. The nose takes a little time, but then it is a nice mix of funk and barrel. On the palate I find the barrel influence very present but pleasant. Nicely dry and astringent towards the end. I like it a lot.
Review by zabo
Quite a nice Long Pond, but not an outstanding banger. Ester and funky, but somehow something is missing for me. It didn’t convince me enough for a better rating. I find it too bitter on the finish.
Review by Michael Schou
28-08-2026 - Rate 8.5 Warm up to German Rum Festival 2026 Second time tasting this Long Pond and first warm up of the evening Nice Long Pond nose and taste. Missing a little ABV. Would like a stronger kick og higher ester.
Review by Philip M. 🇧🇪
08/02/25: Tasted alongside 6 other Long Ponds. I liked this one very much. Good level of fruitiness and funk, it reminded me of the Velier NRJ Cambridge 2010 which is currently one of my favourite Long Ponds.
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
Rum Artesanal – Long Pond 2000 – 55.8% To open this 3rd and final batch, here is a Long Pond 2000 signed Rum Artesanal, bottled at 55.8%. Nose: discreet, clearly not high esters. Some notes of peach, melon, green apple and a hint of esters. Palate: few fruits ultimately, but lots of wood and herbaceous notes, even a slight bitterness on the finish. Verdict: like the Rum Sponge 21A – Long Pond 2000 tasted earlier, a bit of a disappointment for me (even though I have a small bottle in the cellar). We are very far from a Plantation Long Pond ITP 2000 (Extreme No.4), which remains a notch above...
Review by Solidfunk
The initial smell on this is great. Banana cream and ripe plum. Some caramel Sunday. But a little citrus as well. Pours golden. In the mouth this really takes off something spectacular. Peach skin, more lemon. Custard. A little wood on the finish. Amazing balance. Top tier stuff. Medium finish. Bottle split thanks to xamsx.
Review by Stijn Zino
You immediately recognize the Long Pond. Not a very complex long pond, but just a very good rum. This is a more accessible one with less funk. Regarding the price I think you can get better Long Ponds for this, but still one you should try.
Review by Pierangelo Pianta
Naso molto fruttato , funky, molto interessante. Bocca meno interessante , lasciando una bocca tendenzialmente amarognola , vegetale , frutta sotto spirito e calore .
Review by Mentalo
Nice fruity notes. Pleasant sweetness alternates with slight bitterness. There are certainly better releases from the vintage, but it's definitely not bad either.
Review by Michael Janek
kanagom jednoznačně když se nestercha, voni z toho ovoce na začátku jemné, plné, bohaté, pak samozřejmě zabrni a mirna oriskova chut dlouho trva
Review by Pavel Ungr, RumRock
Vintage 2000. With 8.4 out of 10, it's a very good bottle, though not the top of my ranking.
Review by MathiasR
Jamaican notes are mostly gone here.
Review by Julien Jean'Mich
It's a pleasant rum, but considering its age and price I expected more. It's good of course, you can feel Jamaica, a little metallic side, fruit, but I didn't get excited.

There was a time, not long ago where we were actively were longing like crazy for older long ponds, and we got so many nice ones, this is on the lower end scale of there low end, a bit of herbalness that really got so heavy with ra lately
