Whisky AGE Long Pond The Whisky Blues 2005

"Packs a punch," as one member put it, and that's the honest start here: a 17-year Long Pond pot-still at 66.1% that needs time and a little water. Give it air and you get glue and ester up front, then tropical fruit, vanilla, caramel and brown sugar. Several tasters note it leans woody and spicy mid-palate, with less funk than they expected from Long Pond.

  • Tropical fruit depth
  • Ester and glue
  • Surprising sweetness

Wieder einmal ein sehr intensiver und kräftiger Long Pond aus 2005. An der Nase zuerst kräftiger Klebstoff und Ester, dem nach langer Standzeit, Vanille, Karamell und tropische Früchte folgen. Am Gaumen lassen sich die 66,1 % Alc. nicht verbergen, sind aber in kleinen Dosen gut zu händeln. Am Gaumen fehlt mir allerdings, die ausgeprägte Fruchtigkeit, zu schnell wechselt er in die würzige Seite. Das verwehrt ihm die Spitzengruppe. Aber nur knapp, es bleibt ein ausgezeichneter Long Pond mit eindrucksvollem reichhaltigen Auftritt

Die Nase ist sehr einladend mit tropischen Früchten, Zuckerwatte, Zimt, Vanille, etwas Klebstoff, Karamell. Am Gaumen schön intensiv mit einem parfumierten Antritt, fruchtigen Noten, Vanille, Karamell und einer angenehmen Süße. Der Alkohol ist gut eingebunden und nicht störend. Gefällt mir - wie bisher alle verkosteten 2005er VRWs - ausgesprochen gut!! Edit: Nochmal gegen den RDL 68,5% verkostet. An der Nase beide sehr ähnlich und kaum Unterschiede auszumachen. Anfangs bringt der RDL etwas mehr Klebstoff mit, was sich mit der Zeit legt. Am Gaumen kommt der RDL etwas würziger und mit mehr Fasseinfluss daher, der TWB anfangs mit leicht floralen Anklängen. Für mich beides sehr gute Abfüllungen!! Der TWB hat aus meiner Sicht ein super PLV!!

Die Rums von Dr. Django toppen sich heute. Auch dieser Long Pond ist wirklich geil. Trotz 66% ist die Süße in der Nase direkt erkennbar. Vanille, Karamell und brauner Zucker, unglaublich. Am Gaumen kommt dann noch etwas Esterdazu, ein top Rum, kann es immer noch kaum glauben bei 66% eine angenehme Süße zu verspüren :-)

High abv - patience is required at first. Slowly, fantastic tropical fruits greet you and delight you with beautiful aromas. There is also a lovely roasted note. The first sip is mouth-filling but with a good bite. In terms of taste, it is mainly mango that comes through later on and it lingers beautifully. A lovely long pond that needs time to develop. Be sure to smell the empty glass.

Heute drei verschiedene VRW LP 2005 Abfüllungen im Glas. Bottle shop & RumX Community: Sind sich vom Profil sehr ähnlich und sehr komplex. Für mich ist die Community Abfüllung etwas intensiver und voluminöser am Gaumen. The Whisky blues: Auch sehr komplex und etwas spniisch angehaucht. Am Gaumen adstringenter als die Mitstreiter und im Abgang länger. Wesentlich holziger und mit mehr Schokoladennoten, dafür etwas weniger Frucht. Alle drei geniale Rums!

After Habitation Velier LROK 2019 ex Sherry cask, a real treat for my palate. Brings even more to the table, as I expected. Great bottling. Tasted the rest of the sample again as a mixer, and it's convincing here too.

Very intense and eater forwards on the nose. Solvent and chemical notes as well as lots of tropical fruits (with some time in the glas). Very nice. Even better on the palate. Lots of funk and tropical fruits. Balanced by notes from the cask and a bit sweetness. Very nice bottling overall.
