Near-unanimous love here, with one honest dissent about the roast going too far. A 1976 pot-still Jamaican that leans old glue, grilled pineapple and dark roasted wood over the ester funk — decades of cask have tamed the fruit. Despite 68.5% and 43 years, tasters keep noting how well the alcohol sits and how the wood never fully takes over. The finish runs on and on.
The community says- Endless finish
- Glue and pineapple
- Alcohol well integrated

Review by cigares
A splendid and addictive nose, esters, overripe tropical fruits, old glue, black tea, grilled pineapple. A complex and powerful nose! The first palate is powerful with grilled pineapple and wood, the esters are tamed. Then comes the glue, old varnished wood, and ripe tropical fruits. The alcohol is perfectly integrated. The finish is super long with black tea, woody tannins, and grilled caramel at the very end. The empty glass exhales campfire scents. Great rum with lots of character and also some sweetness.

#5337 19.11.2023 Enjoying this nice sample that was a birthday present to myself from myself. Old tasting that I have forgotten to add, luckily I still have everything on paper. I should have bought a bottle back then seeing the price now. Nose Medium intense, wood, light roasted, faint smoke, light varnish, light coconut, spice, pineapple. Palate Oily, medium intense, balanced, wood, light roasted, light cherry, faint coffee, light banana, spice, fruity, light caramel. Finish Long, wood, fruits, faint floral, faint coffee, pineapple, light caramel. Note Incredible balance of ABV and wood. Especially the wood is a surprise because I'd expected a very woody Palate and finish.
Review by Skyfly
A dream of a rum! Jamaica is clearly recognizable from start to finish, but has dirty notes, especially on the palate. The barrel influence is strong, but does not mask the fruit and esters. Alcohol perfectly integrated! An absolute must-taste, especially for lovers of Jamaican rums!
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Wow, what a beast! 🤯🇯🇲💣💥🦄💯 Could be aromatically a really old Long Pond or also Clarendon, but I’d rather guess Long Pond, though it also slightly reminds me of New Yarmouth because of the coconut. An incredibly dense, concentrated nose of roasted coconut, ripe banana, fresh lacquer, and burnt caramel. On the palate, really unusually elegant, the alcohol is perfectly integrated, and the finish is extremely long-lasting and intense. Dark chocolate, strong mocha, fully ripe pineapple, banana and lime, plus some cherry with cardamom and caramel. Surprisingly not too oaky despite the high age. You can especially see and taste the tropical aging here compared to the Cees van Wees. Super awesome stuff and definitely a unicorn in the rum world! 🤤🦄💯🇯🇲💥💪🏼 The price is still a serious number though.
Review by Johannes
Already very intense on the nose, glue, tropical maturation (?!). In any case, the palate is very demanding due to the alcohol content alone, glue, marzipan, hardly any ester funk, lots of intense tropical maturation, wood, light spices. I've just tasted a few Long Ponds next to it. They are all different from this one. The Velier NRJ Cambridge Rx 13414 comes closest to this one. Could be the same marrow. Overall really good, unique, but the price is of course also unique...
Review by KimSFL
Bottle share during FRS x RRS in Jamaica, 2023. Bottle 113 of 183 was sipped. Rested for 3.5 hours prior to sipping. Warm woody roasted aroma. Smoky, oaky, orange peel taste with tropical fruit taking a backseat. Moderate alcohol punch. Exceptionally long finish of tobacco and leather. Cloudy residue remained in glass.
Review by Buddudharma
Impressive spec. Very intense and mature on the nose and palate, wood clearly has the upper hand. For my taste, however, the roasted notes are too dominant here, which prevents a better rating. Thanks to Armin for the opportunity to try this rum.
Review by ArminK
Here is my third written review. WOW First: The 43 years of barrel maturation was mostly in Liverpool. After pouring, a load of glue. The 68.5% is barely there on the nose. After 10 minutes, all kinds of spices and roasted aromas appear. The taste is initially intensely woody with a pronounced roastiness. Then dark coffee beans and some chocolate. A few fruits such as orange and overripe banana. Therefore also somewhat sweet. I couldn't detect the nutmeg as promised on the bottle. The finish is a little dry in the mouth, but lasts forever.
Review by Karol Kuran
Amazing 1976 jamaican rum, the taste and aromas is incredible. The finish is very, very looong.

Unfortunately for me, this is right up my alley. Ester and glue, taninnes and pineapples, tropical fruit. On the palate wood and Ananas..very tamed ester. Powerful rum that finishes with old ash and nice bitter notes. This is strong and complex. I love it
