TRC Long Pond 2000
Sipped neat is how everyone here takes it, and at 25 years the cask strength has calmed right down. The nose is slow — give it time and you get peaches, pineapple and honey. On the palate it's tropical fruit, burnt sugar and light wood, with just a "dezenter" ester nudge rather than a full Jamaican punch. One taster called it a real gentleman.
The community says- Rich tropical fruit
- Soft for 58.8%
- But: Low on ester

How does TRC Long Pond 2000 taste?
Aggregated from 16 community reviews.
Elegant, fruity 25yo Long Pond, gentle on funk The recurring verdict: an elegant, easy-going Long Pond that's very good rather than jaw-dropping. Fans of loud funk may miss the pep; most had no regrets buying it.

#6907 11.06.2026 Relaxing with a few samples after a fast 22.5 km hike. Listening to some cool tracks by Mad Maxx and Sonic Species on Spotify. A very nice bottling with a good price tag at release. Medium intense with nice sweetness, fruits, light wood, pastries, caramel light wood and spices.

Whisky'n'More Hattingen März 2026. Echt ein geiles Teil, endlich mal hier :) Wie man sich Jamaika vorstellt, tropische Früchte ohne Ende, vor allem Banane und Ananas, (dezenter) Ester darf natürlich auch nicht fehlen :) Lecker.

Review by Skyfly
Im Tasting nach The Sins Avarice von 1983 ein unfairer Vergleich 🤷 Die Nase ist am komplexesten mit KiBa, Zitrusfrüchten, etwas Fass und Karamell. Im Gaumen primär tropische Früchte und gebrannter Zucker. Abgang mittellang mit tropischen Früchten, Estern und Holzig.
Review by zabo
Kurz mit Jarek zusammen vor einem Family Ausflug probiert. Der wohl älteste Long Pond von RumCask. Das Finish im DOK Fass funktioniert hier ganz gut. Für mich eine sehr gute solide Abfüllung, wie immer von TheRumCask.
Review by Thunderbird
Ein guter klassischer Long Pond mit allen zu erwartenden Markern und Aromen. Nicht wirklich herausragend, aber sehr gut trinkbar. Eine Flasche benötige ich davon allerdings nicht, da fehlt mir etwas der Pep
Review by DomM
Nose needs quite some time to open up. But with some time it is very rewarding rich fruit notes (peaches and pineapple) and honey sweetness. Very tastey. Smooth and enjoyable on the palate. Solid amount of wood, some tropical fruits and milk chocolate.
Review by Fuwi
Probiert auf der Whisky & more 2026 in Hattingen Wohl der älteste Jamaicaner von The Rum Cask, kommt sehr angenehm daher. Nicht allzu mächtig, schöner, eleganter Vertreter Jamaicanischer Abfüllungen. Tropische Früchte mit Ester und leichtem Funk, am Gaumen noch holzige Noten vom Fass
Review by Alex Kunath
Eher Low Ester. Eher zahm in der Nase. Auf der Zunge recht intensiv, etwas zu sauer/astringierend. Zügig verflogen. Solide aber mehr nicht. DOK Fass Reifung merke ich sowohl in der Nase als auf dem Gaumen nicht.
Review by Caol Dronach
Very interesting Long Pond. It is going into the direction of Hampden-style, nice and fruity. It is quite a "gentleman", so soft and delicate (however cannot compete on fruitiness level with the top Hampdens like some magnificent tropically aged ones). As an alone-standing rum still a "wow" from my direct impression, however in direct comparison with the other top Hampdens a still very good "8.5 points". For me it was a great buy without any regrets.
