Most people rate this old Long Pond highly but note it doesn't taste like a typical Jamaican — 33 years in oak wiped out most of the ester funk. What's left is heavy, dark wood, roasted coffee, caramel and licorice, with pineapple and a little glue underneath. Several tasters love the bitter, tannic finish; a few find those bitter notes too dominant.

How does Berry Bros & Rudd Long Pond Jamaican Rum 1982 taste?
Summarized by AI from community reviews.
Heavy, woody old Long Pond, low on funk Well-liked old Long Pond, more about deep wood, coffee and licorice than Jamaican funk. A few find the bitterness too heavy, and one reviewer felt the value didn't match.

Review by Leo Krüper
Great old Long Pond. Beautiful heavy wood notes. Long finish. Really outstanding. Hazelnut note. Noticeably better than the other Berry Bro LP82, RX899.
Review by Mirco
Very nice old and intense Long Pond. Of course, the taste is not comparable with new vintages due to the lack of ester. A completely different profile. Here you will find heavy and complex wood and spice notes. Great and heavy but relatively bitter on the finish, which I like here.
Review by mto75
The long maturation brings out the barrel notes here in a very harmonious way: clove, vanilla, coconut on the nose. On the palate: liquorice, roasted notes, dark chocolate and dried fruit. I like it very much!
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
A very nice Long Pond with a nice intense profile. Flavours are there from opening the bottle and only gets better while resting. Roasted wood mixed with fruits and spices. Well balanced and good ABV integration. I like the caramel in the profile. Made a note that the empty glass had coffee and very light licorice notes.
Review by Timo Groeger
And another really good Long Pond. On the nose, it's more fruity, with pineapple and coconut here, but also glue and a slight metallic note. On the palate, it's very roasted, with coffee alongside caramel and vanilla.
Review by SaibotZtar
Nase etwas Zurückhaltend Orange, Zimt Zitrusfrüchte Muskatnuss und Papaya etwas Grünen Pfeffer und leichte Esternoten . Am Gaumen schön ölig... leichte Süße dann sofort Bitternoten Pfeffer Grüne Olive Orange, Karamell Kaffee und Vanille. Viele Bitterstoffe generell.
Review by Banana Joe
A bit too much on the oaky side for me, making the finish too bitter.
Review by Tropheus80
I wouldn't have recognized it as a longpond, age has erased its traces. Nevertheless, very good and round.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
You can definitely taste the 33-year barrel more than the sister barrel 1982 from Berry Bros & Rudd. Intense spicy and very dark wood notes, bitterness and tannins, along with roasted aromas combined with some coffee, cocoa, kiwi, pineapple, and black pepper. Overall, the bitter notes are a bit too dominant for me. Still a bit better than the sister barrel though.
Review by Buddudharma
Beautiful, old low-ester LP. However, it is rather disappointing considering the price, as there are significantly more complex and aromatic rums for less money.
