TRC Long Pond 2000
Sipped neat is how everyone here takes it, and at 25 years the cask strength has calmed right down. The nose is slow — give it time and you get peaches, pineapple and honey. On the palate it's tropical fruit, burnt sugar and light wood, with just a "dezenter" ester nudge rather than a full Jamaican punch. One taster called it a real gentleman.
The community says- Rich tropical fruit
- Soft for 58.8%
- But: Low on ester

Aggregated from 15 community reviews.
Elegant, fruity 25yo Long Pond, gentle on funk The recurring verdict: an elegant, easy-going Long Pond that's very good rather than jaw-dropping. Fans of loud funk may miss the pep; most had no regrets buying it.

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.
