Swell de Spirits Long Pond Arcade (V&B Exclusive Series 04) 2007
Long Pond devotees are the target here, and they're the ones grinning. Nineteen years of tropical aging shows: overripe pineapple and esters up front, then a "boisé remarquable" — a serious oak backbone — with vanilla and a whiff of burnt sugar underneath. At 69.5% you feel every degree, yet several tasters call it wildly complex and never harsh. Fruit and wood in real balance.
The community says- Deep pineapple esters

Cask-strength Long Pond: ripe pineapple, esters, big oak Members line up behind it — an intense, expressive Jamaican where the near-70% builds complexity instead of heat. One reviewer already wondered how it'd carry a Mai Tai.

Review by Eric Frechin
Tasted twice at the Rhumfest Paris 2026. This is an intense and expressive rum with very Jamaican notes of overripe pineapple, esters, and remarkable woodiness. It's very well balanced. Also a bit dark with burnt sugar. A favorite from this event.
Review by Vincent D
Goûté à l'occasion du Rhum Fest Paris 2026. Encore un rhum qui mériterait bien plus qu'un passage trop rapide en festival. Malgré le haut degré, il m'a semblé très gourmand. Fruité et boisé, de jolis esters. A re-tester dès que possible.
Review by Banana Joe
Wow, a great Long Pond. You can definitely notice the almost 70% ABV, but it also makes it insanely complex and never unpleasant. Great interplay of fruit and wood. Great bottling from Mika.

Dégustation au Rhum Fest 2026. Note détaillée à venir. Prévoir la comparaison avec le LP 2007 Swell&Co (RX12491) et le LP 2006 Garden Party Cave Saint Seurin (RX16714). 👃 😋 ⛳ 🏆
