Review by Basti
The nose starts off with a good load of glue, which then gradually gives way to spices, mint and yellow fruit. Very intense, slightly astringent and somewhat medicinal in the mouth. For me, it almost goes in the direction of Clarendon. Slightly bitter finish. The high ABV is well integrated. Edit: I like it better every time. Also stands out clearly from the other tropical low ester LPs with some dirty and minty notes.
Review by cigares
Rum Friendly Club Advent Calendar, day 18. A warm, rich nose with spices, varnished old wood, dried fruit and banana. Freshness (menthol?) balances out this beautiful nose. The palate is full and warm, with varnished cedar wood, dried fruit and vanilla. The finish is relatively short, with most of the aromas disappearing fairly quickly, but the bitter woodiness and vanilla linger for quite a long time. A fine rum with a beautiful nose and a slightly disappointing, less complex palate.

Review by Thunderbird
The nose is very restrained... I can faintly filter out delicate sour fruit, some wood and sourdough bread... The palate is quite different. Powerfully oily and heavy, it spreads out. A sweet/sour fresh note, followed by subtly resinous young wood and some spice fills the mouth before it leaves slightly bitter. A good LP, but it doesn't quite convince me
Review by zabo
More like a dirty Long Pond, I would say. On the nose with gasoline. On the palate, mint and methol are added, which reminded me a little of T.D.L. Unfortunately, as always with Romdeluxe, simply too overpriced in my opinion.
Review by Tom Buteneers
Drinking it from the bottle in its homeland. It’s been opened on Saturday/Sunday and keeps getting better. Having it open here, allows the profile to evolve like a speeding train. It doesn’t get better than this
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Insanely wacky Long Pond that I would definitely have guessed to be Clarendon blind. The alcohol is surprisingly well integrated. Aromatically a real 💥 explosion of strongly brewed black tea flavored with orange peel, plus black pepper, lots of menthol and a good load of dirty freshly spilled gasoline, as well as overripe almost fermented tropical fruits. A crazy number, albeit very unusual and not what I would have expected from a Long Pond 2006...
Review by Christian Rudt
If a few solvents greet us here at first, they disappear after a few minutes and we find ourselves in the engine compartment again. A distinct smell of gasoline. The palate continues to be dirty. A dense, oily taste with a clear hint of mint and menthol. This is a highly exciting bottling that leaves the beaten track. Perhaps a little too bitter in the finish. But you should definitely try it.
Review by Mentalo
Pleasant, slightly oily texture, spices and fruity notes. The acidity is slightly predominant. Slightly bitter and woody notes in the finish. Some menthol too. Alcohol is perfectly integrated. A positive surprise for a low mark.
Review by Serge
Great surprise ... really very tasty with gasoline, dirt and menthol. Plus some orange peel and banana with oak, sugar, vanilla and dried fruit. Unfortunately priced a little too high.
Review by Filip Šikula
Zlatý rumový adventní kalendář RFC 2024 Musím říct, že mě tento long pond velmi překvapil.. přeci jen máta v long pondu není uplně běžně. K ní silné čajové tóny, lepidlo a ovoce tvoří velkou pecku.
Review by Johannes
I received the rum blind. My first impression on the nose was - tropical ripeness! The palate also had the typical tropical notes. I didn't think of Long Pond, as this is certainly a low ester mark. Definitely really exciting and good!
Review by Martin Ekrt
Very nice technical scent. Kind of like a combination of menthol and gasoline, maybe. Then tropical fruits with liquorice. First taste quite a bitter massacre, but then a delicious minty mint and banana finish. The next taste just gets better and better. Overall I find it quite similar to some mint TDLs.
Review by Rare Akuma
Tasted this at SDR23, so my review remains rather concise. The aroma is immediately appealing, presenting a thick, sweet and oily profile. Abundant yellow banana and plantains are combined with old wood, resin and orange zest. The latter heavily continues onto the palate. Wood gets tempered with raw sugar and menthol. Suddenly very ‘Clarendon ‘04-esque’ with dirt, light petrol and herbal tea. Unexpectedly very good, but unfortunately priced much too aggressively.
Review by MJ97
Nez : super bon. On sent pas les 68,1° en tout cas. C’est très gourmand, fruits exotiques confits, agrumes / vivacité mais aussi le côté pâtisserie, torréfaction (un peu café grillé) en plus. Vraiment super bien Bouche : on sent pas du tout l’alcool en bouche, super bien intégré. Les fruits exotiques se mêlent au boisé avec une prédominance sur les fruits à coques / noisettes / amande avec un petit côté amer. Très bon j’aime bcp. Gourmandise. Est ce que c’est l’alcool qui s’est évaporé avec le sample à moitié vide ou bien c’est comme ça… aucune idée Finale longue avec dominance amer du bois et des fruits à coques mais agréable
