Elizabeth Yard Long Pond LONGPOND 2000
Forget the Long Pond funk you're bracing for — this one barely shows any ester at all. What you get instead is a peaty, whisky-like character several tasters swear points to a whisky-cask finish: earthy, smoky notes with bacon on the tail, wrapped around orange, mango and lemon up front. It's oily and mild for 21 years, and the body reads thin to some. Genuinely unusual, and divisive because of it.

Aggregated from 13 community reviews.
Peaty, whisky-like Jamaican with almost no funk A Long Pond that doesn't taste like Long Pond — one member says it "tastes like sweet whisky," and that peaty twist is exactly what splits the room. Some love the surprise, some feel short-changed.

Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
On the nose, it's immediately clear that we're not dealing with Jamaican High Esters, and I personally don't mind. Quite the contrary, in fact. But the aromatic profile is rather standard: ripe bananas, woody and spicy. With a hint of cinnamon. The nose is nice and makes you want to taste it. Let's go ! The first sip effectively coats the palate, which is loaded with peat! The second sip allows us to take full advantage of it: tropical fruits, spices, wood and peat again! And once in the mouth, I rediscover the peaty structure of the nose, which I hadn't felt at first. It's surprising, because on the other bottles, there's a lot of transparency (even too much), and here there's no mention of a whisky cask finish! But no doubt it is. In fact, this finish isn't disturbing, as it's rather well mastered. It brings a little something extra to the rum because the peat/smoke doesn't dominate the juice. But I don't think it's honest, especially for a keel costing almost €300! One thing's for sure, it's a far cry from the pleasure of tasting Plantation ITP 2000 (Extrême n°4). To conclude this lineup, a patchwork of origins with daring and/or successful finishes. But in any case, this lineup dedicated to the Scottish bottler was full of surprises, and we'd like to thank you all for your participation in making this evening what it was! And a huge thank you to David, who kindly shared 1 bonus pin to prolong our pleasure (I'll talk about that in another post)! To our friends at ROA (Salva/Alain) for defying the Carolo traffic jams to join us there. And thanks again to Elizabeth Yard for offering us the bonus Rum Union to kick off the festivities!

#4086 Despite the price tage you get a pretty good rum here. Once rested for a good while the flavours are released and it reveals a nice overall profile. Fruity with some menthol/camphor and roasted wood. Fresh and warm on the palate that has an oily feel to it. Draws really nice and slow curtains in the glass and the empty glass is really nice and I can pick up some nutts and marzipan.
Review by Christoph
Erdige Noten die eher an Whisky erinnern. Nicht klar ob nur kontinental oder auch tropisch gelagert. Orange und Mango am Anfang und Ende, zwischendurch Zitrone.
Review by Johannes
Spannende Abfüllung! Am Anfang schon fruchtig, in der Mitte eher Mandel und Marzipan, Abgang torfig wahrscheinlich im Whisky Fass gelagert.
Review by Andi
Nicht schlecht, aber da ist irgendein Aroma drin was für meinen Geschmack nicht rein passt und total raus sticht. Aber trotzdem ein toller Tropfen.
Review by RumTaTa
Sehr hell im Vergleich zu ähnlichen Abfüllungen. Nase auffällig frisch/grasig/zitrus, sehr ungewöhnlich für Long Pond. - aber nicht schlecht. Nach einer Weile kommt ein Geruch wie alter, muffiger Keller hinzu. Am Gaumen sehr interessant: erst zum Nachklang hin entfallen sich die Aromen mit Rauch und Speck. Würde mich nicht wundern, wenn der in einem Whiskyfass reifte.
