Nobilis Long Pond No. 29 LSO 2006
Here's the twist: this is a Long Pond that barely tastes like one. It's a low-ester LSO, so instead of big funk you get dried fruit, apple, orange peel, banana chips and pepper over light oak. Several tasters compared it to a gentler, "polite" Appleton, and one honestly said they'd never guess it was Jamaican. It needs time and swirling in the glass to open up.

How does Nobilis Long Pond No. 29 LSO 2006 taste?
Aggregated from 37 community reviews.
Low-ester Long Pond, dried fruit and oak Well-aged, well-integrated at 68.9%, but a divisive low-ester Long Pond. Fans of dried fruit and oak enjoy it; funk-chasers feel it lacks the Jamaican punch they expect.

Review by Tom Buteneers
It was just a very small bottom as a taster (it’s morning after the night shift) and I drank it relatively fast, but I liked it. Good value for money for a LP of that age if you compare it with the likes of the Rom de luxe wild series (and even the 15 year old ITP from the distillery, but that price is quite absurd).
Review by Johannes
Tropical notes again, but not as dominant as with the previous Long Ponds. Another low ester mark.
Review by Rare Akuma
Another low ester, high proof, LP in the glass. Lets see where this goes. Very meek and shallow on the nose. It needs constant agitation to release anything other than musty, camphorous or mineralic notes. Then we get coconut husks, plantains, crisp red apple and a plethora of dried fruits. It instantly transports me to fruity red wine country with oily, fermented, and lightly tannic smells. There’s faint petrichor under a blanket of vanilla and peppers. Upon swirling it releases overpowering licorice as it eventually ends in a hint of saffron. On the palate it also needs lots of swirling to release all of its flavours. Red wine notes, followed by plantains and waves of freshly squeezed orange juice. The barrel spices are more prominent, this time accompanied by salt and unadulterated anise. This freshness is counterbalanced by earthy flavours such as wet soil and gardening peat. Despite the age and ABV the finish is relatively unexciting and releases nothing more than orange juice, wood, some spice, and -foremost- soil notes. The alcohol is integrated reasonably well.
Review by Filip Šikula
Stříbrný adventní kalendář RFC 2024. Hezký divoký intenzivní nos, kterému chuť nedělá žádnou ostudu. Poměrně dost silné tóny čokolády, spousta ovoce a esterů dohromady tvoří přijemný zážitek hodný longpondu.
