Sipped neat it drinks lighter than its 51.9% suggests — banana, pineapple and vanilla up front, a glue-and-solvent funk underneath, plus a herbal, licorice edge. Members call it a typical Long Pond ester profile, dryish with a "pleasant sweetness" and a long warm finish. A few note the lowish ABV keeps the funk from fully showing, and several like it in a Mai Tai too.

How does Duncan Taylor Long Pond Single Cask Rum 2000 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Easy, fruity Long Pond with light funk Most people rate it a very drinkable, well-balanced Long Pond — funky but easy. The catch: a few feel the modest ABV holds the profile back, and better Long Ponds exist.

Pub The Rumah Rotterdam April 2026. Yes, finally it's going in the right direction here. Jamaica clearly recognizable thanks to the tropical fruits, mostly pineapple and banana again. On the palate, it is also slightly sweet and herbal. Very tasty.

Tasted again and I go down a bit. But really ne good bottling and despite low ABV happens a lot.

01.11.2019 Den Dansk Rom & Whiskyfestival This was my first visit to this two day event, where everything is included in the ticket. Also the first event where I have seen so many extremely drunk people. This event usually just has what's considered mainstream products, but luckily my friend had the right contacts so for a premium we had our own little collection to go through. Today I get free a free ticket if I want to attend 😊 A very nice and intense rum. Fruity with nice grass and herbal notes. Dry on the palate with a very long and warm finish.
Review by Mirco
A typical ester Jamaican as expected, no more and no less.
Review by Rowald Sweet Empire
Pretty typical funky Jamaican rum in the nose. Not too heavy. 15 years. 51%. A tad dryish. Very inviting. Taste: very delicious. Intense yet light. Banana. Pineapple. Pleasant sweetness. Funk. Licorice. A bit earthly. Well balanced. Very nice, complex yet easy to drink. Excellent Jamaican. Old Duncan Taylor had some excellent bottles for good pricing.
Review by Speedflo
Nice LP profile but not very pronounced due to the low ABV, easy daily sipper. The alcohol could be integrated a bit better. I'm curious how this Duncan Taylor will perform in a Mai Tai.
Review by Tafia Guildive
Quite okay, but there are much better long ponds than this one. The wood influence is noticeable and slightly over the top, but still just in the green zone. Good in Mai Tai

Read full review ›There are no off putting notes. I like it all, a lot. This is easily one of the best Jamaican rums and one of the best rums overall I have ever tasted. If you can find one of the remaining 269 bottles then I would definitely urge you to buy...
Expert review by The Dunder Hut
I remember the time when this was peak long pond in my head. And at the time this was maybe true. After retasting it, a bit of the charm has gone. BUT, It still is good. Just not that high in points anymore
