Alleine die Nase ist schon mega. Da ist von allem etwas dabei. Klebstoff, Kokosnuss, trop. Früchte, Gewürze, Holz, Schokolade. Am Gaumen überwiegen Gewürze, trop. - und getr. Früchte mit einer dezenten Süße und einer leicht floralen Note. Alkohol ist top eingebunden. Sehr runder und süffiger Long Pond (wohl ein VRW), der für mich die 90er (9.0er) Marke nur knapp verfehlt. Davon hätte ich gern eine Flasche :)
Eine weitere sehr gute Abfüllung von Valinch & Mallet. Die Nase ist sehr komplex mit Aromen von Ester, Frucht, Karamell und Holz. Klasse Am Gaumen fällt sofort der gut integrierte Alkohol auf..weich verteilt sich der Rum und bringt zunächst eine fruchtige Süsse die von Vanille und Piment begleitet wird, danach erscheint Holz und eine leichte Specknote. Dieses setzt sich auch so im Abgang fort. Das harmoniert und passt gut zusammen
Wirklich geiler Long Pond vintage! Fruchtig, cremig-schokoladig, ordentlich Ester, fast schon umami. Geiles Zeug! Würde wirklich gerne das Ester Mark dazu wissen ... So oder so auf jeden Fall wirklich super lecker.
Two VRWs side-by-side: V&M for M&E Singapore and HV for LMDW Singapore: On the nose both are quite balanced with vanilla, wood and tropical fruits. They truely need some time to breath to develop the classic VRW moellow honey and fruit nose. V&M comes with a bit more wood on the nose versus a bit lore punch and fruitiness on the HV. On the palate the pictures are similar. Smooth honey fruitiness with notes from the barrel (ie vanilla, woodieness and some chocolate). Again the V&M is a bit more in the dark side with the HV providing a bit more punch and intensity in the fruit notes. Both are extremly well balanced and round. Very enjoyably. Today the HV is a bit ahead for me.
