Long Pond fans who like their Jamaican esters mild and well-behaved will feel at home here. The nose is fruity and playful — banana, orange peel, tropical fruit, a little fermented funk. The palate turns less fruity, more savory: bacon fat, licorice, anise and a dry, spicy finish. At 56.3% the alcohol sits almost invisibly. A grown-up, balanced pot-still Jamaican rather than a wild one.

How does Wu Dram Clan Long Pond Jamaican Rum LPS 2001 taste?
Summarized by AI from 49 community reviews.
Balanced, banana-heavy aged Long Pond Widely liked as a beautifully balanced Long Pond with banana, esters and near-invisible alcohol. A few tasters wish it had more fruit and complexity, and one found it plainer beside its batch mates.

The anticipation was huge.... Nose ...esters, butyric acid, citrus,cherry ,pineapple,banana. Slight peppery notes .Palate...clearly less fruity than the nose promises at first almost flat .... with the linger in the mouth then but gradually aromas come to light .... Citrus,banana beautiful wood notes and some butyric acid . Bitterness picks up a bit in the mouth but not disturbing. Beautiful LPS which could not quite meet my expectations.

Solid LPS with great PLV and modest availability. Typical LPS esters, some plastic and fruit, loooong finish and alcohol very well integrated. Really good LP, but lacks some complexity that would be needed for a higher rating in my view.

19.07.2025 Retasting at the Nordlichter Treffen. ----------------- 19.07.2025 Retasting at the Nordlichter Treffen. ----------------- #5071 Friday 24.01.2025 - 26.01.2025 A nice weekend in my sisters summerhouse with old friends and colleagues tasting a lot of rums. I can only recommend like we did, no phones allowed and then only music in the background 😊 Colour Medium dark. Nose Intense, light wood, ester, fruity, banana, overripe, spices, light anise. Palate Medium intense, round, balanced, oily, fruity, overripe, light banana, faint chocolate, medium spicy, ester, light anise. Finish Very long and warm, wood, faint smoke, fruity, ester, medium spicy, light anise, light raisin. Empty glass Vanilla, light chocolate, fruits, light pineapple, faint varnish. Needs to rest for a while to really settle properly.
Review by Leo Krüper
Nice LPS that starts light and has a long finish. Great long pond nose. The 56% is hit perfectly and the rum gets better and better. The finish is incredibly long and intense. A great rum. Great PLV for today's times, availability of course difficult with only 100 bottles.
Review by mto75
Comes across quite relaxed on the nose, a bit like a HD LROK, spicy, orange (like Tic Tac Orange), cake, underpinned with a fermented fruit ester note. Bacon-spicy on the palate, slightly salty out the back. On occasion comes then again the comparison with the Duchess....
Review by Frank
Wehleidig I look back on the legendary Albrecht LPS... for then around the 28€ the bottle... priced this one can not keep up there, but the times have unfortunately also changed. What about the quality then? Nose: fine esters with vinegar underpinned at the start, plus yellow lemon with orange and cherry. A slight honey sweetness resonates. Then it gets a bit spicier, with a hint of black pepper, some smoke and very little bacon. Behind everything, yogurt or mild cheese are still hiding. All unobtrusive and subtle and thus very pleasant. 8.7Palate: a nice flavor curve with a distinct peak. Astringent and bitter at the start, salty, peppery with a coarse licorice note. Immediately behind that, "spiky" metallic and citrus notes that immediately flatten out with esters and a bit of vinegar, settling into a slightly sour metallic. Behind that is room for finer anise and -no not wood, rather cardboard. There's also a slight smoky, spicy nuance here now. Each sip obviously a bit more. Nice medium-long finish. 8.7You can clearly tell here that this is a nicely matured, adult Jamaican. Which comes along with balanced, medium ester content and very well-integrated alcohol. Fun to drink.
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
Fügle me no longer attracted to LP, since I was allowed to taste the TECA and the TECC, but this rum could rekindle my love, so mild and balanced to the point he comes along. There I was with the condemnation because of me far too astringent esters probably a bit hasty, LP has so much more to offer. The alcohol itself one notices as good as not, only as heat in the long finish. Yes, the rum really has something, and I am very grateful to Leo for the sample.Cheers!
Review by Adrian Wahl
Cool LPS. For me, not quite on the level of the Sample X / Duchess. Ingenious bottling.
Review by Thunderbird
I'm starting my LongPond tasting series today with the WuDram. The nose is pleasant with a light ester, a subtle fruity note (orange/lemon) and a slight hint of honey. The whole appears round and balanced. The palate is light and soft with a marzipan sweetness that first gives way to a brief fruitiness and then develops into spice (salt, licorice, aniseed). A little bacon and young wood are also added. The finish is medium-long with similar spices, some marzipan and subtle bitter notes. A very good, pleasing bottling.
Review by Jarek
Quite an interesting bottling. The nose is still quite fruity, fermented, with esters, but also sweet, with marzipan or honey. On the palate then less fruit. Instead somehow bacon-y, smoky, spicy, with licorice and anise.
Review by Skyfly
Jamaica without Hampden tasting: just fits. Awesome bottling for drinking neat and probably also as a mixer. Great fruits, esters, something fermented, a pinch of honey and young wood. Alcohol class well integrated.
Review by Johannes
Very good Long Pond, maybe lacking a bit of complexity and fruitiness.
Review by Schnubbii
Wow, even on the nose this is a really great Jamaican for me, incredibly round with lots of tropical fruit and candied pineapple. Even better on the palate, very well balanced between tropical and candied fruit and a thick but elegant sweetness. The finish is of medium length, with toffee adding to the candied pineapple. For me, this is the best and most drinkable Long Pond LPS I've tasted so far. A really great cask selection from WDC!
Review by zabo
Ein sehr leckeres Teil. Alkohol perfekt eingebunden. Vom Geruch her vernehme ich Ester, einen Hauch Vergorenes, tropische Früchte, aber vorallem Banane. Im Mund ist er sehr ausgewogen, den Alkohol merkt man gar nicht. Tolles Teil, auch ich bin in den Genuss gekommen von Leo ein Sample zu ergattern. Danke dafür, ist echt lecker.
Review by Alex Kunath
Fruity and strong with very good PLV
Review by w00tAN
Nordlichter Treffen 07/25: Tropische Früchte, Papaya, Ester sehr verspielt in der Nase. Sehr mild mit schön ausgewogener Süße und Würze. Alkohol ist sehr schön eingebunden. Abgang mittellang bis lang, leicht salzig würzig und trocken. Wirklich sehr süffig.
Review by Speedflo
Compared to the Spirits Projects LP (RX16252) and the Holmes Cay LP (RX16676), this LP is different. More sour on the nose and much less leather, wood, chocolate. Probably also due to the different marks. In my view, much less typical but also very tasty.
Review by Basti
Overall too much on the bitter licorice side for me and reminds me a bit of the Hampden Roots OWH.
Review by HenryL
Northern Lights Meeting July 19, 2025 Nice ester notes on the nose with a hint of citrus peel. On the palate somewhat less intense than on the nose which is very pleasant. Drinks super well, nice buttery sweetness.
Review by Rowald Sweet Empire
No disappointments yet i.m.o with Wu Dram. This is another hit. A very funky nose, very Jamaican with all the obvious notes. In taste the integration with alcohol is perfect. Well balanced. Delicious! Lots of banana. A bit peppery/gingerlike spicy. Superb pick from the WD guys.
Review by F.L.O.
Very nicely balanced LPS. Close to the Duchess.
Review by Alexander Rasch
Very nice Long Pond. Nose is super fruity with a nice spiciness. Found the apple quite exciting. On the palate also immediately lots of fruit and then esters. The finish spicier and dust dry with many aromas that linger. Absolute bomb and I'm glad I get to own one of the roughly 100 bottles. Delicious.
Review by Lukas Jäger
Nice LPS, with plenty of power!
Review by Alex1981
Good LPS that comes with a great balance of fruits, esters, alcohol and learhery notes. Love it!
Review by Master P
Very fine drop, pleasant to drink. Not too sweet, could be a bit more complex.
Review by Mentalo
For me on the same level as the 2001 LPS from The Duchess. The alcohol here perfectly integrated, beautiful fruit notes. Compared to The Duchess perhaps a little flatter, but for me both very good LPS bottlings.
Review by Rum_Freund
Exactly my taste and the alcohol is perfectly integrated. Very good LPS!
