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 but relatively bitter on the finish.
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 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 Tropheus80
I wouldn't have recognized it as a longpond, age has erased its traces. Nevertheless, very good and round.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Die 33y Fass merkt man ihm im Gegensatz zum Schwesterfass 1982 von Berry bros & rudd definitiv eher an. Intensive würzige und sehr dunkle Holz Noten, Bitterstoffe und Tannine, sowie Röst-Aromen kombiniert mit etwas Kaffee, Kakao, Kiwi, Ananas und schwarzem Pfeffer. Insgesamt sind mir die Bitternoten aber zu dominant. Etwas besser wie das Schwesterfass aber.
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.
