Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
A nice and fruity rum with roasted wood and spices. The ABV should have been higher in my opinion. The empty glass has some chocolate and coffee notes to it.
Review by cigares
Vanille et fruits tropicaux mûrs, fût de chêne, épices, bourbon et un côté beurré au nez. En bouche des fruits tropicaux trop mûrs, un boisé plus présent qu’au nez, légèrement grillé. La finale est longue, sur le bois amer. Un beau rhum, avec une belle buvabilité et un côté bourbon bien marqué ce qui doit beaucoup plaire aux amateurs.
Review by zabo
Ein schöner alter Long Pond mit wenig bis gar keine Ester. Das Holz ist nicht so dominant wie ich gedacht habe. Ein smoother Rum, der einfach Spaß macht. Habe mich mal wieder riesig gefreut an so eine Rarität ins Glas zu bekommen.
Review by Johannes
Compared to the RA 1977, this one is less complex, less rounded.
Review by Boletus
A very well-rounded affair with a multi-layered interplay of aromas, in which the finish is unfortunately a little too lean compared to the rest to stick in the memory for long. This low-ester long pond only builds up its entire repertoire after a longer period in the glass, which, due to its palatable and almost too pleasing basic character, carries the risk of having drunk the glass empty beforehand.
Review by Johnny Rumcask
A big disappointment in view of the framework data: the rum is not very complex, the nose is thin. A caramel sweetness dominates the taste of the rum, followed by a slight bitter note and wet cardboard. The alcohol is not well integrated, especially for its age. For the price of the sample, I would have been better off buying a bottle of a mid-range bourbon.

Expert review by The Fat Rum Pirate
"Black banana and pear drops. It's expensive but its just about unique. The Whisky Nectar bottled a 1977 Long Pond a few years ago that was aged until 2012. Like this one you'll struggle to find one of those. Really great stuff but take care, its not Long Pond as..."Read full review →
Expert review by The Dunder Hut
"After tasting the 30 year old from Corman Collins I was surprised at this..this feels.mich more vibrant than the 1982. More fruit to the typical wood and butter notes. Lakcs a bit at the end of tasting but otherwise really strong!"
