Romdeluxe Long Pond Wild Series Rum No. 9 2001
Sip this neat, but give it 15-20 minutes in the glass first — several tasters found a sharp alcohol bite right after pouring that settles into overripe banana, pineapple and glue. Underneath sit chocolate, wood, vanilla and nuts. A 19-year Long Pond at cask strength: intense, fruity, with a bitter, tea-like edge on the finish that not everyone loved.
The community says- Overripe banana fruit
- Real ester funk
- But: Dominant alcohol

How does Romdeluxe Long Pond Wild Series Rum No. 9 2001 taste?
Aggregated from 35 community reviews.
Funky, fruity Long Pond that needs resting time Most call it a proper Jamaican with big ester fruit, though opinions split on the heat — some found the alcohol dominant and the finish burnt and bitter rather than balanced.

Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
I had to rest this one because there was a bite on the nose after pouring the glass. After 15-20 minutes it gets far more accessible and the fruit flavours are easier to get. A lovely Long Pond with chocolate and wood in the front and nuts, vanilla and fruit taking the sidecar. Great balance and intense at the same time.
Review by Oliver
Long Pond as you would imagine...Yum!
Review by Johannes
A good Long Pond. But tropically matured?! I can not imagine...
Review by Filip Šikula
Milovaný long pond. Po nalití intenzivní ovocná vůně plná ananasu a banánů s trochou laku. V chuti je to velmi sladký profil, plný ovoce a laku kterému by slušelo trochu uklidnit alkohol. Závěr poměrně dlouhý a v závěru hořkne.
Review by Frank
Pungent, but also nice, if somewhat restrained, fruity nose. There are the expected esters, some solvent and then also The sweetness of honey with a hint of cherry. Pineapple is there as well. Dry spice of vanilla in the background as well.A pleasant sweetness comes through on the palate at first, which is immediately replaced by bitter wood notes. The esters come through. Then comes something almost floral, fruity towards pineapple, which is immediately caught up again by bitter. Remains also bitter in the finish with tea.I had but already better LP in the glass!
