Review by Galli33
Very fruity funky in the nose also a lot of tropical fruits in mouth with a solid finish. The alcohol is integrated very well. Pleasant to drink. Summary: Very good long pond, but not worth 500,00€+
Review by Adrian Wahl
There I have to deduct after renewed tasting also compared to the other 2000 LP unfortunately bit.
Review by Tschusikowsky
Ok, but not fully convincing. Has the power of a young Hampden, but with more herbs and spices. Water takes a bit of the sharpness. Not so mine.
Review by Frank
20 yo LP, it should be able to do something...Nose: fruity-ester-spicy. Intense esters at the start, accompanied by tropical fruits, papaya and pineapple, but also mealy banana and fresh, sweet lemon. The esters clearly bring vinegar as well as glue and polish. All wrapped up in tart sweetness from maple syrup. Some wood or cardboard delicately at the back. I mean, 20 years continental does not create the density and integrated sweetness as comparable 20 years tropical. 85Palate: yet different than the nose suggests. First astringent, bitter-salty, then the esters come immediately. Now comes nicely tart bitter lemon zest and pineapple. These are replaced by toasty, slightly bacony aromas. Behind that, spicy and intense licorice. The esters come in again at the back. Not a totally round LP, a bit too bitter, but the bacon licorice note is interesting. 85
Review by Mike H.
Decent nose but rather weak in the mouth.
Review by Martin Augustin
In der Nase kommen angenehme Esteernoten, Vanille, Ananas und Marzipan zusammen. Dies zieht sich geschmacklich durch, ergänzt um eine angenehme Würze. Insgesamt ein guter Long Pond. Daily Sipper.

I'd say the Ekte 15 year old is better!
Review by Jakob
Beautiful long pond, balanced aromas of fruit esters, woody sweetness and somewhat herbal-tart notes.
Review by DomM
RA / Nobilis / TRC: Very nice and mellow fruity notes with honey in all three. TRC is noticeable more woody/aged on the nose, however. RA most fruity and powerful on the palate. Nobilis somewhat tamed with noticeable less fruits. Wood and some smoke enter the picture. TRC with very nice combination of wood and fruits. Most elegant of the trio. Nice vintage/mark for enjoyable Jamaican sippers. 😊
Review by mto75
neben gereiften tropischen Früchten an der Nase auch viele frische Noten: Zitrusfrüchte, frische Gartenkräuter (Kerbel?) und Gewürze. Der Gaumen ist sehr würzig, unterlegt mit einer dezenten Süße Richtung Sahnebonbon oder Milchschokolade. Guter LP, im Vergleich zum gerade verkosteten RA LP 2000 und Whisky Jury LP 2005 wirkt er jedoch etwas ‚zahm‘.
Review by Thunderbird
Sicherlich ein guter Rum, aber im Vergleich zum RA, The Whisky Jury oder Velier verliert er deutlich! Ihm fehlt einfach die Komplexität ! Er ist gut, mehr aber auch nicht!
Review by Tom Buteneers
Nice Long Pond, would argue that it’s not worth it’s price tag. Glad to have tasted it, thanks for the sample Christoph!
Review by Lukas Jäger
Very fresh and acidic on the nose, citrus fruits, but not very inviting at first. On the palate, more tropical fruits, licorice, barrel and spices. A clear improvement on the nose and quite tasty, but I personally find something missing. Unfortunately, it disappears too quickly and leaves behind a dry taste. Good, but doesn't fully convince me.
Review by John Coffey
Le nez m'a franchement déçu.. En bouche c'est tout de même bien mieux mais ça manque clairement d'intensité.. C'est bon c'est indéniable mais le prix est bcp trop élevé vu ce qu'il y a dans le verre

"Uhh this is Getting nice in the aftertaste. Again one of the more fuller profiles on the 2000 long ponds. Really a lovely ode to what even low ester can achieve. Not too acidic but full of funk, I am sure a blast in drinks"
