Swell de Spirits Long Pond Swell & Co. Co-bottling series #4 ITP 2007
Regulars keep saying the same thing: this is an atypical Long Pond. Instead of the usual high-ester funk, ITP brings pastry sweetness, flambéed banana, toasted coconut, orange zest and a good dose of oak and spice. At 68% it's hot — several tasters wanted a touch of water — but give it 20 minutes and the fruit opens up. A few even mistook it for a big Foursquare.
The community says- Pastry-banana sweetness

How does Swell de Spirits Long Pond Swell & Co. Co-bottling series #4 ITP 2007 taste?
Aggregated from 76 community reviews.
Atypical low-ester Long Pond, hot but gourmand Loved for its baked-goods gourmandise, tropical fruit and integrated wood, though the 68% heat and a slightly bitter, dry palate divide people. Atypically low-ester for Long Pond.

Review by DUBOIS Arnaud
C’est un Long Pond surprenant car il a beaucoup moins d’Ester que ceux que j’ai déjà essayé mais il a une puissance et une grande complexité avec une gourmandise folle qui le rendent incontournable pour moi.
Review by alex
Rien à voir avec les LP habituels, il n’en demeure pas moins délicieux 🤤 d’abord une très belle robe, suivit d’un nez vraiment très agréable, ce profil de LP nécessite une vingtaine de minutes pour prendre le meilleur parti de tous les arômes. Très belle gourmandise et une longueur énorme 😍 En bref, atypique mais délicieux 😍🤩 Coup de cœur au passage car pour avoir déguster tous les rhums de Swell, c’est mon préféré ❤️ avec le NY
Review by Basti
Auch hier könnte ich ewig dran schnüffeln. Kokosnuss, trop. (über)reife Früchte, Toffee, Popcorn, Karamell und eine leicht florale Note. Am Gaumen alles wiederzufinden was die Nase verspricht, aber auch leicht dreckige Noten. Sehr guter Long Pond!!
Review by Léo Delek
Pas du tout ce que je recherche habituellemenet chez les jamaicains avec le coté funky (fruits murs/solvabts) mais qlq chose de tres reussi pour les 68%. Ca demenage mais se boit avec plaisir grace a la gourmandise de la melasse, la cassonade, sirop de canne, ... On a aussi quelques notes fruitées et juteuses qui donnent rapidement envie d'y revenir mais c'est plutot le coté épicé, boisé et fumé qui prend de la place. Tres reussi !!

Goûté au Rhum Society. Superbe.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Extremely cool funky (low ester) long pond. Alcohol top integrated and really fun after just 5 minutes of breathing. I am very positively surprised by this bottling!🤤🇯🇲💣 For me, it can easily keep up with the previous velier 2007 bottlings! Hard to say which ester mark has been hit here... From the sweet notes it could be a MBS from the fermented notes but also almost a TECA... Supposedly it's an ITP! In any case, really cool stuff! Flavorful flambéed banana, lots of orange peel - zest and fresh juice, black pepper, dark chocolate, some mint and coconut macaroons! 🤤
Review by Speedflo
Wow was für eine Granate, in eine Crosstadtimg der absolute Favorit. Im MT schon mehrfach probiert und auch extrem gut. ITP sprich für einen Low Ester LP, der aber untypischer weise ordentlich Funk aufweist. Für mich eine top Abfüllung von Swell.
Review by Benoit Mahe
Un profil qui change des Long Pond que j'ai l'habitude de boire plus hauts en ester. C'est pas mal du tout mais pas forcément ce que j'apprécie le plus. Ça me rappelle la Appleton Heart Collection, en plus équilibré.
Review by Michal S
Netypický Long Pond, který ale stojí za ochutnání, bohatá vůně i chuť, hromada vrstev.
Review by Fran13
Chaud, boisé, fruité, pâtissier... Un Long Pond étonnant, original, avec peu d'ester. Je peux me perdre longtemps dans cette belle complexité aromatique, tant au nez qu'en bouche. J'adore 🤩
Review by RumTaTa
Nase: intensiv, fruchtig, röstig, alkohol recht präsent, erster Eindruck: eventuell Foursquare- dafür aber eigentlich zu intensiv, sticht in der Nase, eine eigenartige muffige Note ist dabei Gaumen: sehr scharf und alkoholisch, ca. 65% Alkoholgehalt, wieder viele Verbindungen zu Foursquare aber dafür erneut zu intensiv. Sehr komplex mit Gewürzen (Zimt und Muskat), viel Fass (Eiche), Nachklang: intensiv und lang, trocken und fasslastig, trotzdem ausgewogen und lecker. Ein sehr guter Rum, gefällt mir richtig gut und ich würde ohne zu zögern auf Foursquare tippen, wenn der Rum nicht so intensiv wäre und nicht diese eigenartige modrige Note hätte. Ich tippe auf einen richtig guten Foursquare oder einen Rum aus Belize. Wertung: 8,7
Review by SaibotZtar
Strong release from Swell ! Well balanced and despite 68% really good to drink ... am actually rather fan of higher Ester Marks just at Long Pond but this clearly proves that there is also in the unterem range really good stuff ... great fruit, some wood, some bitterness in the finish and almost perfectly integrated alcohol make fun for more!

Review by Agricoler
Sehr schöner Long Pond Low Ester. Erinnert im Geruch an eine 94er New Yarmouth/. Im Geschmack fällt er allerdings meiner Meinung nach ein wenig ab. Unglaublich gut finde ich Integration des Alkohols.
Review by Adrian Wahl
Richtig geiler LP. ABV sehr sexy, aber Mark ist bisschen boring
Review by Arthur Moreau
Un long pond gourmand, sans les esters habituels, équilibré et suave, pâtissier. Profil rare pour cette distillerie. Très agréable.
Review by Rare Akuma
First and foremost fruity wafts of toasted coconut, blackberries and orange zest; followed by caramelised banana and custard filled pastries. The heart consists of oak and malt, lightly nutty and bitter coffee, chased by a little bit of glue stick and lots of black tea. Prominent banana and toasted coconut on the palate. More bakery notes: vanilla, cinnamon and crème patissière. Toast with milky coffee on the side. Subsequently intensely spicy with black pepper. Ends in more floral black tea. The finish is medium in length with caramelised banana and coconut as well as coffee with slightly too much milk.
Review by Buddudharma
Wuchtiger, tropisch gereifter Long Pond. Etwas öliger und dreckiger (im positiven Sinne) Nachgeschmack, sonst dominieren Gewürze und Holz. Sehr gut!
Review by Oliver
Untypical Long Pond. Little ester and rather hints of the barrel-strong Appleton Hearts. Very intense and concentrated. Alcohol could be a bit better integrated. Nevertheless, exciting profile!
