Bedford Park Long Pond Single Barrel Jamaican Rum CRV 2004
Don't expect the usual Long Pond funk here — this column-still, low-ester bottling leans citrus instead. Members find mandarin, orange peel and lime over a soft, slightly bitter base, with caramel and oak underneath. At nearly 20 years old it's polished, though several note the alcohol is a touch hot and the whole thing reads a bit one-dimensional for a Long Pond.
- Bright citrus notes
- Opens with air
- Long finish

How does Bedford Park Long Pond Single Barrel Jamaican Rum CRV 2004 taste?
Aggregated from 13 community reviews.
Soft, citrus-forward Long Pond, light on funk A clean, citrus-driven Long Pond that opens up with air. Loved for its soft fruit and surprising complexity for column still, but funk fans find it too tame and a little hot.

Review by Stijn Zino
First time trying this mark. It's so soft and fruity. Very hard to distinguis the Long Pond identity in this, but it's there. Overal very fruity with lots of citrus notes. Some bitterness in taste. Long finish. Easy drinking but not really convinced as Long Pond fan.
Review by Jacques etdom
Un long pond tres patissier. Nez : caramel, vanille, banane cuite, mangue. En bouche, les memes marqueurs. Fait tres easy sipper. Manque de complexité et de profondeur pour rivaliser avec d autres LP low esters. Finale sur le caramel et le bois.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Grundsätzlich ein guter Long Pond Rum wenn auch alles andere als typisch für Long Pond. Kaum Ester und funk, dafür mehr Zitrusfrüchte wie mandarine, Orange und Limette und etwas Gewürzen wie Zimt. Insgesamt aber irgendwie etwas eindimensional und nicht sonderlich spannend muss ich sagen. Der Alkohol könnte finde ich auch etwas besser integriert sein.
Review by Kerry Brockland
Smooth, drinkable, overly enjoyable that I’ve been through nearly a bottle already with my friends to start the year… lots of ripe fruit, light funk, balanced as they come and great complexity for a column still.
Review by J Suh
It’s really interesting how much this opens up - quite oak forward when you first taste it but on a blind taste it sings. Beautiful colours and flavour that really fit with a column still LP. Classic bourbon barrel notes but there’s an extra layer that really develops with the air.
Review by KlausS
Drying, woody, fruity. Not a huge standout but also a high quality product. A little hot on the alcohol.
