Rest & Be Thankful Long Pond LSO 1998

Most tasters agree the nose is the weak spot here — light, shy, almost sleepy for a 25-year-old. Then the palate wakes up: citrus, gooseberry, roasted wood, pencil shavings, a savory bacon-fat note and a natural licorice sweetness. It's a lower-ester Long Pond, so don't expect a funk bomb — more elegant and dry than wild. Several felt the price didn't match what's in the glass.

How does Rest & Be Thankful Long Pond LSO 1998 taste?

Aggregated from 27 community reviews.

Light-nosed, intense palate, savory aged Long Pond Well-liked, gently divisive: a faint nose that pays off on an intense, woody-fruity palate. A softer, savory Long Pond rather than a funk monster — a few thought it priced high.

Perfect for

Long Pond fans who like a drier, savory, lower-ester style at cask strength

Less suitable for

Anyone chasing big Jamaican funk or a big expressive nose

Teil des Rest & Be Thankful tastings (danke an RumX und F.L.O. fürs Teilen). Schöne und interessante Veranstaltung. Alle Kanditaten hatten eine sehr schöne Nase. Am besten haben mir das LSO und MPG Profil zugesagt. Insgesamt fehlte mir aber oft die tropische Reifung.

Vielschichtig. Holz mit Früchten und Früchte mit Holz. Für mich dürfte es ein wenig mehr Ester sein. Später sogar leicht malzig im Abgang. Eine leicht bittere Mandelnote. Viel schönes dabei. Den vermeldeten Preis von >200€ hätte ich dafür aber nicht zahlen mögen. Zum Glück gabs den im Angebot.

Master tasting from Rest & Be Thankful via RumX A wonderfully subtle nose full of sweet fruit. On the palate it is slightly soft and sweet with restrained fruit... nutty and light coffee flavors develop later. The finish is fresh (mint) paired with coffee. This LP is my favorite of today's tasting (very tasty)

RumX/Kirsch-Online-Tasting Rest&Be Thankful! 25 Jahre alt, ein light pot und mit knapp über 120 gr/hlpa Ester am oberen Rand des Marks LSO/ITP. Nase: das mehr an Ester im Vergleich zum ITP bringt deutlich vielseitigere Aromen mit sich. Wirkt nicht so verschlossen zu Beginn, sondern eher frisch mit Zitrusfrüchten und Lösungsmitteln. Die holzige-Würze erinnert mich etwas an Bleistiftmine oder auch Erdnuss. Jetzt kommt die Frucht etwas feiner mit süß-säuerlicher Stachelbeere und einer zarten Karamell-Honig-Note. Braucht Zeit, dann aber schön. 8,4 Gaumen: lecker und intensiver als die Nase. Erster Eindruck ist süß, speckig, würzig, Anis und Süßholz. Dann ein ordentlicher Anteil Bleistiftspähne, der sich angenehm mit dem Süßholz mischt. Irgendwie auch Zitrusfruchtig mit Stachelbeere, die Süße kommt aber eindeutig vom Süßholz, was ich gut finde. 8,5

Mein erster LSO! Daher war ich gespannt und mit dem ersten schlick auch ein bisschen entäuscht. Sehr interessante Long Pond Noten mit schöner Ester begleitung. In der Nase noch Fruchtig und zurückhaltend, im Gaumen leider auch eher kurzweilig. Der abgang dafür irgeñdwie länger als erwartet. Die lange Fasslagerung ist erkennbar. Der Preis ist aus meiner Sicht bei 50cl (trotz seines Alters) nicht gerechtfertigt.

Ein Long Pond mit einer tollen röstigen Nase, die einen ausbalancierten Eindruck hinterlässt. Im Mund mit Tendenz Richtung pflanzlich, holzig und dunkel herb, ähnlich im Abgang. Etwas fehlt diesem Rum allerdings, um eine höhere Bewertung zu erhalten.

Fruity taste as well as honey, after a while sharply burning. The aftertaste is pleasantly lingering woodiness. Good comfortable Jamaica - but probably not worth the price

Tasted during the RumX masterclass. Huge thanks the guys from R&BT for presenting their range! Very nice exploration of some low(we) ester marks. While some of the noses were a little light, the long aged expressions are very interesting on the palate across the board. Very interesting! :) Very round while intense on the palate. The long maturation really did a good job here.
