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.

- Dried fruit, leather
- Keep in mind: Some want more intensity

How does Berry Bros & Rudd Long Pond Jamaican Rum 1982 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
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.

Review by SaibotZtar
Ehrensampl !!! Thank you my friend 😓 Great old LONG POND... Alcohol top integrated. Really tasty... Not too woody at all... nicely balanced and harmonious with fruit and woodiness. Top Mai Tai... simply awesome !!!
Review by cigares
A precise nose that reminds you of a rum from another time. Banana, tobacco, dried fruits, yellow fruits, a vegetal note, and a slight menthol make up this complex and assertive nose. The palate also has that precise character of rums from another era. Dried fruits, leather, chocolate, and a somewhat offbeat cough syrup vibe. The finish is balanced and long. A very beautiful rum, very endearing, and in a way it reminds me of the clarity of a Bally 1970, even if the fake cough syrup taste slightly spoils the party.
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

#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 Leo Krüper
High Long Pond quality, light woodiness. Rounded sweetness. Unfortunately not as good as the sister cask.
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 Mentalo
The 33 years are definitely noticeable in this bottling. Intense woody notes, fruit, little sweetness, slightly bitter. There's also plenty of wood in the finish. For me, a touch too much of it or a slightly more present fruity note would have made it more balanced. Still, not a bad rum
Review by Filip Šikula
Diamant Advent Calendar RFC 2024. The aroma beautifully balanced from sweet tones, through fruity to gluey. In the mouth, a full dense rum, full of fruit, chocolate, leather, and glue. Despite many years of age, it's not a woody candy, which is great. Very nice!!
Review by Pavel Ungr, RumRock
Vintage 1982. With 8.2 out of 10 it's a very good bottle, though not top of my ranking.
Review by Richard Krupa
Scent slightly sour, taste of wood and fruit, finish slightly spicy but just right in length.
