Berry Bros & Rudd Long Pond Jamaican Rum 1982
People who love old, well-mannered Jamaicans will feel at home here. Instead of loud funk you get dried fruit, leather, tobacco and a little glue, with the 57% tucked in so well several tasters call it an easy "Gentleman sipper." A few note it drinks softer and less woody than 33 years suggests. One or two wished for more punch.
The community says- Well-integrated 57%
- Dried fruit, leather

How does Berry Bros & Rudd Long Pond Jamaican Rum 1982 taste?
Aggregated from 33 community reviews.
Rounded old Jamaican, more elegant than funky Most agree it's a rounded, balanced old Long Pond — fruit, leather and chocolate with surprisingly little wood. The recurring catch: some wanted more intensity and found it a touch too polished.
Fans of aged, elegant Jamaicans over loud funk
Anyone chasing high-ester funk or big oak punch

Review by cigares
A precise nose reminiscent of a rum from another era. Banana, tobacco, dried fruit, yellow fruit, vegetal notes and a hint of menthol make up this complex, assertive nose. The palate also has the precise character of rums from another era. Dried fruit, leather, chocolate and a slightly offbeat cough syrup character. The finish is balanced and long. A beautiful, endearing rum that, in a way, reminds me of the clarity of a Bally 1970, even if the false taste of cough syrup spoils the party a little.
Review by Joachim Guger
The perfect balance of edgy and easy drinking.First a wonderful freshly polished old dresser with some red fruit. In the mouth then a bit edgier and very interesting.The review refers to Cask
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
#4105 I habe tried this one before and I'm still amazed at the overall balance. Light yet powerful in both fruits and spices. ABV is very well integrated and the wood is not dominating at all. Draws really nice curtains in the glass and the empty glass is really nice and I can pick up some coffee and chocolate.
Review by Mentalo
Die 33 Jahre merkt man der Abfüllung durchaus an. Intensive Holznoten, Früchte, wenig Süße, leicht bitter. Im Abgang auch wieder ordentlich Holz. Für mich eine Spur zu viel davon beziehungsweise etwas präsentere Fruchtnote hätten ihn ausbalancierter gemacht. Trotzdem kein schlechter Rum
Review by SaibotZtar
Ehrensampl !!! Danke mein Freund 😓 Toller alter LONG POND... Alkohol top eingebunden. Richtig lecker... nicht im Ansatz zu Holzig... schön ausbalanciert und Harmonisch mit Früchten und Holzigkeit. Top Mai Tai... einfach geil !!
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Surprisingly little wood flavor for 33 years old! Very drinkable, round
Review by Johannes
Nice old school long pond. I would have expected more in terms of taste. A little too much neutral alcohol for me, could be more intense in taste.
Review by Leo Krüper
Hohe Long Pond Qualität, leichte Holzigkeit. Runde Süße. Leider nicht so gut wie das Schwesterfass.
Review by Richard Krupa
vůně lehce kyselá, v chuti dřevo a ovoce, závěr je lehce pikantní, ale délkou tak akorát
