Long Pond fans who want a gentler, more polished side of Jamaica will feel at home here. This 20-year, cask-strength pot still leans pineapple and overripe banana with light glue and ester funk, a touch of vanilla, licorice and dry oak spice. One taster nailed it as "expensive Pineapple Juice" — lovely, but softer and less buttery-meaty than the classic LP profile.
The community says- Ripe pineapple, banana
- Well-integrated alcohol
- Keep in mind: Less funk than usual

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€+

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 Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
23.11.2025 Retasting this old sample I found in tha beck of my samples. Still pretty good in my mind. -------- A very nice, well balanced and fruity rum with som glue and nice ester notes. The wood is pretty light and the finish long and warm with a light spicy tingling.
Review by Adrian Wahl
There I have to deduct after renewed tasting also compared to the other 2000 LP unfortunately bit.
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 Martin Augustin
Pleasant ester notes, vanilla, pineapple and marzipan come together on the nose. This continues on the palate, complemented by a pleasant spiciness. Overall a good Long Pond. Daily sipper.
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 Jakob
Beautiful long pond, balanced aromas of fruit esters, woody sweetness and somewhat herbal-tart notes.
Review by Timo Groeger
Ist wirklich ein gelungener Rum dieser Long Pond. Hat einen schönen Ester Funk, natürlich sind auch tropische Früchte mit am Start, vo allem Banane, aber auch Klebstoff ist hier sehr gut erkennbar. Lecker.
Review by mto75
Besides matured tropical fruits on the nose, also many fresh notes: citrus fruits, fresh garden herbs (chervil?) and spices. The palate is very spicy, underlaid with a subtle sweetness towards cream candy or milk chocolate. Good LP, compared to the just tasted RA LP 2000 and Whisky Jury LP 2005 it seems a bit 'tame'.
Review by Filip Šikula
Vevůni classic tropical fruit and esters. In this case a bit vinegary, but overall the nose is very pleasant. On the palate it opens with a bit of tart gooseberry. Later the vinegary esters show up. The whole thing is wrapped in a strange bitterness, but overall I enjoy it.
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 Jussi Piirainen
On the nose: Marzipan or pastry note, vanilla, light pineapples, light banana, mild esters. Light spicy notes and citrus in the background. Balanced. Taste: Spicy notes, pineapples and bananas, vanilla notes, roasted, barrel notes. Light licorice notes appear after the rum has been sitting in the glass for a while. Not a intense ester bomb at all, its very easily approachable. Balanced. Finish: Warm. Roasted. Spices and barrel notes. Dry. Finishes with light black tea notes and light licorice notes. Long finish. Pleasant and balanced palate and works very well for you, if you dont want any intensity or stronger notes. Licorice note that appears once the rum sits in the glass kind of brakes the palate for me a little bit and while its a good rum, the price tag is pretty high compared to what you get.
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 Stylo
I would define this rum as weirdly Jamaican: the nose is waaay less funky than other long ponds I’ve tasted..There’s indeed some fruits (banana, pineapple) both on the nose and on the palate, but I totally miss all the buttery, meaty sensation that I love from LP..this one seems more elegant and “classy”, if I may. The wood from the barrel is not overwhelming, giving some spiciness (vanilla and cinnamon) to the rum. Overall, I liked it, although, for my idea of LP, I would not buy a whole bottle of it!
Review by John Coffey
The nose frankly disappointed me.. On the palate it's still much better but clearly lacks intensity.. It's good, no doubt, but the price is way too high for what's in the glass
Review by Double Barrel
A very expensive Pineapple Juice but Damn, it's soooo good!
Review by Martin Mihaly
Für mich Eine leichte Long Pond , mit tropische nasse nicht so intensiv aber schön fruchtig, frisch, bißchen Holzig und dezent süß. Am Gaumen kann man nicht glauben dass sind 54,9% Alkohol ist so gut verbunden dass rum scheint so dünn. Ist so leicht und angenehm für trinken. Frisch, junge Holz, floral - fruchtig, bißchen banane und Politur vielleicht bißchen grüne paprika. Abgang sehr mild und Holzig, wasserig.
Review by Basti
Very relaxed, delicious Long Pond with well-integrated alcohol. On the palate, I could discover unusual floral (perfumed) notes that I can't clearly identify.
Review by Anubis_CZ
ve vůni je jasně jamaický esterový . tropické ovoce a lehký tón lepidla, který k Long Pondu patří. V chuti je to ale překvapivě uhlazené: ananas, přezrálý banán, trochu vanilky a lehká kořenitost ze sudu. Síla alkoholu je dobře zakomponovaná, nepálí. Dojezd je dlouhý, suchý .
Review by Jesper Petersen
A bit disappointing Long Pond, tastes quite a lot of cask.
Review by Mike H.
Decent nose but rather weak in the mouth.

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
