Romdeluxe Long Pond Bottled for German Rumfest 2023 TECC

Sipping this neat is the whole point — 85.3% hits like a wall of banana, pineapple and nail-polish esters, then a sherry-cask twist brings baked apple, vanilla and a toffee-ish sweetness. Members are amazed how well the alcohol integrates for such a young rum ("very drinkable" despite the heat). Barely three months old, so it's more a wild curiosity than a mixer most would reach for.

The community says
  • Well-integrated alcohol
  • Banana-ester punch
  • Very short aging

Verkostet auf dem 12. GRF Ich glaube das war die mit am meisten Spannung erwartete Abfüllung. Kommt nicht an den Hampden von 2022 heran aber auch hier ist der Alkohol sehr gut integriert und das TECC-Profil mag ich sowieso. Der Preis ist eigentlich eine Frechheit für einen praktisch ungelagerten Rum. Ich habe trotzdem eine Flasche gekauft 🤪 Würde ich den Preis in die Wertung einbeziehen, gäbe es nur 6.5 Ich möchte nicht wissen wieviel ein TECC von RDL kosten soll, wenn er ein paar Jahre auf dem Buckel hat...

So on International Rum Day (yes, today, August 16th!), it has to be something that sailors who know all the tricks would like to drink. Yes, the saying "If it's too strong, you're too weak" really applies here. I like the wonderful smell of spicy autumn fire on the nose and the smooth, oily feel on the palate. And yes, you can easily drink this rum neat without water and even taste something - rosehips? That's what I call a real rum!

#4179 This is the latest release from Romdeluxe and I like this kind of profile. Fresh and medium fruity with some esters and light wood. ABV is very well integrated and the profile well balanced. The price can be argued though for such a young rum.

Wer hätte gedacht das ich das mal sage. Aber es kann auch mal zu viel Alkohol drinnen sein 😅 So wie bei ihm. So 8 bis 9 Prozent weniger hätten ihm glaube ganz gut getan

This rum puts a a banana on your face with first whiffs of the ester aroma. On taste very creamy and well integrated. Considered buying a bottle, but given intensity would probably never finish 70cl.

First look at the sample… Buh 85%, that‘s huge. Very spicy in the nose, a lot of fruits, sherry notes and esters. I think there‘s a taste of baked apple too😅 In mouth you can find the same notes, but due the very good integration of the alcohol you can enjoy it „easily“ 😜🤣 The finish is quite long, estery and fruity, without being astringend or pungent. For me this one is overpriced….

This is an absolute beast. While the maturation seems very short, I think this is on point to give an interesting twist but not to overwhelm the profile.

Fair review Awesome stuff. Alcohol as always with RdL excellently integrated and thus well drinkable despite the ultra-high %. However, the price for storage is completely absurd. Can no longer include the price in the rating, as I would not do justice to the rum with it. But can only advise against buying.

Even though we don't usually do this, we still deduct points for the price. The relocated variant already hits with a decent price. However, the short finish then doubles the price, which we feel is absolutely not justified.
