Long Pond Rum Sponge No. 21A 2000
Sip this neat and slow — it's a gentle, grown-up Long Pond. Overripe banana, sour pineapple and a light glue-and-ester edge sit next to cappuccino, milk chocolate and soft baking spice. Several tasters call it "distinctive Long Pond" but a milder one, and more than a few wish it had a bit more punch at 49.6%. The finish fades fast.

How does Long Pond Rum Sponge No. 21A 2000 taste?
Aggregated from 18 community reviews.
Mild, banana-and-cappuccino Long Pond sipper Well-liked as a classic, easy-sipping Long Pond with banana, esters and cappuccino notes. The recurring gripe: it feels a touch too soft and the finish runs short.

Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Really nice and unusual Long Pond! Cappuccino and milk chocolate meets overripe bananas, tart pineapple and some olive brine. Exciting number! Despite the rather low alcohol content surprisingly intense and complex!
Review by alex
C’est très très bon, mais clairement, ça manque de watts. Belle harmonie entre les fruits compotés, le cappuccino et le chocolat, avec la petite touche de caramel / vanille qui vont bien 😍 ça se boit tout seul. Par contre un peu déçu pour la longueur en bouche

#4216 This ibe is better than its brother from Clarendon but I would again have loved a higher ABV. Fruity with some esters and wood all in good balance. Draws very nice curtains in the glass and the empty glass has some herbs and spices.
Review by TheRhumhoe
A rather aged Long Pond of surprising sweetness. The nose unveils dry spices, aniseed and vanilla, before releasing a salvo of exotic and candied fruits, as well as a rather greedy dose of esters and glue. Caramel adds a touch of sweetness to this fairly soft, round profile in the nostrils. But you'd expect a bit more from a rum like this and from Decandent Drinks. On the palate, the elements of the nose resurface, but with greater intensity. Tropical fruit and citrus are a little more pronounced, but still dominated by spices (vanilla, licorice, pepper, cloves) and that honeyed, caramelized touch that softens the palate considerably. Wood, roast, glue and esters add a little character. The alcohol is rather docile and this cuvée would have deserved a few extra degrees. The finish pays the price for the sweetness of the juice, with relatively short longevity. Nonetheless, it remains pleasant, with woody, roasted notes, cappuccino and spices on pepper, vanilla and licorice. Fruity, phenolic and caramelized notes lend roundness to this light, warm profile. A pleasant cuvée, but unfortunately not worth the price.

Great, classic Long Pond.
Review by Sebas143
Tasted at German rum festival Very good rum. Easy sipper. Distinctive Long Pond.
Review by Pavel Spacek
The plus - this one is absolutelymild with integrated alcohol. The minus - there is no LP just the taste of the cask. And too watery.
