Long Pond RA Jamaica Rum 2000
"Not a very complex Long Pond, but just a very good rum," is how one member sums it up. Expect pineapple, overripe fruit and a whiff of glue on the nose, then esters, cream and a fair bit of young oak on the palate. Several tasters find it turning herbal and drying out bitter at the end. A well-integrated 22-year Long Pond that pleases without amazing.
The community says- Tropical fruit
- Well-integrated ABV

How does Long Pond RA Jamaica Rum 2000 taste?
Aggregated from 58 community reviews.
Fruity, easygoing Long Pond, a touch woody Most agree this is a good, easy-drinking Long Pond with tropical fruit and gentle funk, but many feel it's less exciting than other 2000 releases — wood and herbal bitterness creep in.

Beautiful LP Nose very restrained... Sweetish peach, honeydew melon, green apple and very light ester notes. On the palate ... first again an unusual sweetness, immediately some bitterness. Little fruit ... lots of wood and herbs . Not quite convincing on its own... but delivers a decent Mai Tai as a blend.

Not a bad long pond but also not a highlight, taste predominates for me wood and acidic tannins, could have more spice and more fruitiness.Overall good drinking flow but just does not really knock me off my stool.
Review by Adrian Wahl
Not at the level of the other LP 2000
Review by Oliver
Wow, here is directly something going on in the nose! Ester and the fruitiness of a fruit basket are directly present. Clearly more esters and funk than RX7107. Great creaminess on the palate with very well integrated alcohol. I like it very much!
Review by DomM
Nice and rich fruit basket on the nose which I found in other 2000 VRWs. In this one, however, there is also a ton of herbal and vegetal notes which I do not associated with this mark at all. Somewhat more akin to PM notes, maybe..? On the palate it is a bit more as expected. Fruits are a little tamed with woodies and again some herbal notes.
Review by Basti
Delicious Long Pond with well-integrated ABV. Edit: The bottle is now almost empty and for me this is still a successful bottling with a good PLV. Ripe fruits, citrus fruits and some marzipan dominate.
Review by Johannes
I like it very much! He is not an ester bomb, but has nice fruit notes and at the same time creamy chocolate notes. I am only bothered by a minimal gin note.

#4488 03-04.11.2023 Den Danske Whiskyfestival. Again a special meet up besides the event itself because we think it's a bit too dull. Had a great time with friends again. My notes. Nose: wood, roasted, ester, overripe fruits, glue, light funk. Palate: warm, wood, ester, oily overripe fruits, citrus. Finish: long and warm, ester, fruits Empty glass has light vanilla.
Review by Timo Groeger
Good Long Pond from Heinz Eggert. Nose typical Jamicca, esters, tropical fruits like pineapple and some glue. On the palate only esters and tropical fruits, just a normal Jamaican as it is written in the book ;-)
Review by Skyfly
Jamaica ohne Hampden Tasting: Klasse Abfüllung die Spaß macht; typischer Jamaicaner mit viel Tropischen Früchten und Estern. Daneben junges Holz, aber auch Röstaromen sowie gebrannter Zucker im Gaumen.
Review by Alex Kunath
Anfänglich fantastische Nase, die sich leider mit der Zeit verflüchtigt. Auf der Zunge ganz ok. Bleibt am Ende leider wieder nur durchschnittlich gut. RA konnte mal mehr...
Review by Righrum
An average long pond. I find missing both the fruitiness of continental ageing releases and the ooh effect of tropically aged long pond. On the nose a bit of vinagre that we'll find again when drinking, some sour cream and ananas, traits common also drink side
Review by Alexander Rasch
Ein sehr schöner LP ohne besonders spektakulär zu sein. Die Nase braucht ein wenig, dann ist es aber eine schöne Mischung aus Funk und Fass. Am Gaumen finde ich den Fasseinfluss sehr präsent aber angenehm. Schön trocken und adstringend zum Ende. Gefällt mir gut.
Review by zabo
Ganz netter Long Pond, aber kein übermäßiger Kracher. Ester und Funky, aber irgendwie fehlt mir was. Hat mich nicht zu überzeugend für eine bessere Bewertung abgeholt. Im Abgang finde ich ihn zu bitter.
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
Rum Artesanal – Long Pond 2000 – 55,8 % Pour ouvrir cette 3ème et dernière salve, place à un Long Pond 2000 signé Rum Artesanal, embouteillé à 55,8 %. Nez : discret, on n’est clairement pas sur du high esters. Quelques notes de pêche, melon, pomme verte et une pointe d’esters. Bouche : peu de fruits finalement, mais beaucoup de bois et d’herbacé, avec même une légère amertume en finale. Verdict : à l’image du Rum Sponge 21A – Long Pond 2000 dégusté plus tôt, une petite déception pour moi (alors que j’ai une petite Bouteille à la cave). On est très loin d’un Plantation Long Pond ITP 2000 (Extrême n°4), qui reste un cran au-dessus…
Review by Pierangelo Pianta
Naso molto fruttato , funky, molto interessante. Bocca meno interessante , lasciando una bocca tendenzialmente amarognola , vegetale , frutta sotto spirito e calore .
Review by Stijn Zino
You immediately recognize the Long Pond. Not a very complex long pond, but just a very good rum. This is a more accessible one with less funk. Regarding the price I think you can get better Long Ponds for this, but still one you should try.
Review by Mentalo
Schöne Fruchtnoten. Angenehme Süße wechselt sich mit leichter Bitterkeit ab. Gibt sicherlich bessere Abfüllungen aus dem Jahrgang, aber schlecht ist er definitiv auch nicht.

There was a time, not long ago where we were actively were longing like crazy for older long ponds, and we got so many nice ones, this is on the lower end scale of there low end, a bit of herbalness that really got so heavy with ra lately
