TRC Long Pond 2000
Sip this neat and give the nose time — it opens slowly into peaches, pineapple and honey, with citrus, burnt sugar and light oak underneath. At 58.8% it drinks softer than the proof suggests; several tasters called it a "gentleman," elegant rather than mighty. One member found the palate a touch sour and astringent, but most landed on rich tropical fruit with a gentle Jamaican funk.
- Rich tropical fruit

Aggregated from 14 community reviews.
Soft, fruity 25-year Jamaican pot still A well-liked 25-year Long Pond: soft, fruity and elegant for cask strength, leaning toward Hampden-style. A few found it sour or lacking pep, and the DOK cask is subtle.

Review by zabo
Kurz mit Jarek zusammen vor einem Family Ausflug probiert. Der wohl älteste Long Pond von RumCask. Das Finish im DOK Fass funktioniert hier ganz gut. Für mich eine sehr gute solide Abfüllung, wie immer von TheRumCask.
Review by Alex Kunath
Eher Low Ester. Eher zahm in der Nase. Auf der Zunge recht intensiv, etwas zu sauer/astringierend. Zügig verflogen. Solide aber mehr nicht. DOK Fass Reifung merke ich sowohl in der Nase als auf dem Gaumen nicht.
Review by Caol Dronach
Very interesting Long Pond. It is going into the direction of Hampden-style, nice and fruity. It is quite a "gentleman", so soft and delicate (however cannot compete on fruitiness level with the top Hampdens like some magnificent tropically aged ones). As an alone-standing rum still a "wow" from my direct impression, however in direct comparison with the other top Hampdens a still very good "8.5 points". For me it was a great buy without any regrets.
