Great old Long Pond. Fruity with a light bite on the nose ... some ester and a delicious sweetness . Alcohol very well integrated... On the palate you notice the full power ... it floods the mouth with fruit and wood flavors, slightly creamy feeling. Long finish that is more on the fruity side ... less woody and bitter than expected. Great stuff ... I'm very curious to see what it delivers in May Tai.

Mmh, difficult. Banana, vanilla, nutty, citrus fruits, vanilla. Alcohol well integrated, nice warm mouthfeel. On the other hand, it has a bitter, furry off-note for me. A little lacking in play. Somehow it seems one-dimensional to me, which does not fully compensate for the high alcohol content. Exceptional for a rum from 2004. But somehow not my cup of coffee.
Review by Thunderbird
A Long Pond the way I like it. A fruit basket nose with a little varnish and ester, which is followed on the palate by exactly what the nose promises. It spreads out creamily and then offers a variety of flavors from sweetness to spice. The finish is very long and balanced! I'd love more bottlings like this 😃

Review by Gregor
Fruity nose: pineapple, mango, papaya, some glue/ester, walnut, vanilla, cinnamon, nicely balanced Palate: basically the same as the nose, again lots of tropical fruitiness, some ester, some nut, some vanilla and wood, alcohol for 68%! well integrated
