CDI Long Pond Jamaica 2003

Most tasters agree this is a light, easy Long Pond, but they split on whether that's a good thing. Fans call it "easy sipping long pond" with kiwi, gooseberry, fresh-cut grass and citrus. Others feel it's watered down at 44% — one flagged "0 complexity and 0 body." Pleasant and gentle rather than the punchy Long Pond funk people expect.

The community says
  • Fresh fruity nose
  • Easy to sip
  • But: Thin, watery body

8.0/10

Nose: light, kiwi and gooseberries, white wine, freshly mown meadow, barrel and citrus fruits in the background, alcohol not noticeable, I have no clear idea, possibly a low ester Long Pond, I think there were some from Rest & be thankful. Palate: in addition to known notes, more spice and grappa come in, alcohol about 54%, I am quite sure it is a pot still Jamaica rum, wavering between low ester Long Pond and Clarendon. Finish: long, drying, floral. Very good light rum, curious what it is. If I had to decide, I'd say Long Pond LSO.
