Review by Lukas Jäger
Mein erster alter Long Pond. Spannende Nase, die ordentlich Frucht mit vielfältigen Gewürzen mischt, dazwischen etwas Holz und alles sehr harmonisch. Am Gaumen dann weniger Frucht, dafür sehr nussig, trocken und würzig. Erinnert irgendwie ein wenig an Weihnachten. Ein toller Tropfen, einzig die Verdünnung ist etwas schade, wenngleich sie weniger störend auftritt, als dies bei der Mehrheit der Fall ist. Der trockene Abgang verweilt ewig im Mund und erinnert an diesen leckeren Tropfen!
Review by Jakob
In der Nase noch recht fruchtig und vielschichtig, am Gaumen kommen dann dominante holzig-würzige Noten zum Vorschein, die ein paar leise Assoziationen mit Worthy Park und Port Mourant wecken. Mir gefallen die tropisch gelagerten Long Ponds besser - ein guter Rum, für den es bei mir aber nicht zu den höchsten Weihen reicht.
Review by Filip Šikula
Po dlouhé době velmi rozporuplný long pond. Ve vůni krása, ovoce, dřevo, květiny. V chuti tohle všechno sice zůstáva, ale celé je to hrozně řídké. Sneslo by to alespon od 10-15% vyšší abv a bylo by to super.
Review by Pavel Spacek
The profile is realy nice - flowers with wood. But why the hell is so weak and mild?
