Zéro Nine Spirits Long Pond Série Geisha N°1 (1er Anniversaire Clos des Spiritueux) ITP 2006
Blind, most tasters would guess Guyana or Trinidad, not Jamaica — this 17-year Long Pond leans dark, roasted and woody rather than funky. Expect banana, burnt sugar, gingerbread and a smoky, tarry edge, with pepper and a salty touch late. Low on esters for a Jamaican, and at 60% the alcohol runs a little hot for several people.

- Atypical LP profile

The look inside the bottle
How does Zéro Nine Spirits Long Pond Série Geisha N°1 (1er Anniversaire Clos des Spiritueux) ITP 2006 taste?
Aggregated from 42 community reviews.
Roasted, woody, atypical hot Long Pond Well-liked but not top-tier Long Pond. Roasted, spicy and woody with tropical fruit and burnt sugar; the recurring gripe is heat — the ABV isn't fully integrated. Give it air.

Review by Jonathan Massard
Super nez, ester, fruits exotiques très mûrs. De la fumée de goudron, un côté grillé et torréfié, sur la noix. Floral aussi. Tous les marqueurs sont assez exubérants. Par contre, première bouche très (trop) alcooleuse, moins de marqueurs intéressants, quelques fruits à chair blanche et jaune, amandes grillées. Final courte à moyenne. À redéguster pour confirmer ou non mon premier ressenti. 2ème dégustation : une bouche plus expressive, plus confite. Je décèle aussi une odeur de chauffe comme sur un bois bousiné. +2 points
Review by Thunderbird
This LP is somehow a-typical. On the nose it is still good at first, I smell banana, some ester, some fruit...but also a disturbing sour dough note. On the palate it is creamy and soft at first with a hint of burnt sugar, then it becomes intensely spicy and peppery. This is accompanied by strange chemical aromas. The finish is roasted with a bitter note, salty and peppery! I don't know exactly what to make of it, I'm very ambivalent here
Review by Vincent D
Un nez très Long Pond avec des fruits mûrs et des esters mais pas le côté funky qu'on trouve chez Hampden. En bouche, ce sont les épices très piquantes qui se taillent la part du lion. De la banane, de la vanille, un sucre presque brûlé, un petit côté tabac en fin de bouche. Par certains aspects, on pourrait penser à un TDL. Finale qui apporte une touche saline étonnante. Dommage que l'alcool soit un peu trop mordant. Zéro Nine sait décidément trouver des profils particuliers. C'est très bon.
Review by TheJackDrop
Une belle palette qui change assez selon le temps. Je regrette juste un sucre un peu présent, qui masque presque l’alcool et qui le rend un peu lisse, un peu court. Sinon on a vraiment des fruits du sucre de la vanille des marqueurs de colle notamment, et quelques fruits rouges / menthe qui peuvent rappeler un TDL quelque part. Belle découverte et bouteille qui va disparaître rapidement 😂

#4457 08.11.2023 A pretty good release. Fruity and well balanced. Roasted wood and ABV well integrated after resting for a good while. The palate is oily and medjum dry and fruity with a spicy touch. The finish is long, warm and medium dry with nice fruits. The empty glass has nice chocolate and light coffee notes.
Review by BnBrt
Nez intéressant, mélange ananas et vernis à ongle léger. Attaque puissante, belle sensation de chaleur dans la bouche très agréable au coin du feu. La bouche est moins fruité, plus sur le poivre; l'alcool masque un peu mais sans être dérangeant. Finale très longue assez amer.
Review by alex
C’est plutôt bien fait, et encore meilleur après avoir été versée dans le verre et attendre une heure. Les arômes sont plus franc. Certes moins parfumé qu’un teca mais ça se déguste bien. La final est moyennement longue. J’ai pris du plaisir en tout cas c’était bien bon comme dégustation
Review by Jeremy Roger 🇫🇷
Saveurs très marquées, banane pain d'épice et pomme . Un goûter aux esters
Review by Righrum
Tasted at Rhum Fest Paris 2024 A pretty nice low esters long pond, maybe the better of this bottler's lineup for the RFP24. A bit of funk and tropical fruit but without excesses, still really pleasant to dram.
Review by Johannes
Nice tropical notes, but alcohol is not well integrated.
Review by Jarek
Die über 60% sind sehr präsent.
Review by Piotr Ignasiak
Light in terms of esters. Some allspice notes, quite hot in general, alcohol not integrated that well.
Review by SaibotZtar
Quite ok ... nothing that knocks me off my feet . Somehow disappears in May Tai... strange.
