Duncan Taylor Long Pond Single Cask Rum 2000

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.

The community says
  • Banana and pineapple
  • Easy-drinking funk
  • But: ABV feels restrained

How does Duncan Taylor Long Pond Single Cask Rum 2000 taste?

Summarized by AI from community reviews.

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.

Expert review by The Fat Rum Pirate

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
