Cadenhead‘s Long Pond Green Label 1974
For experienced palates: a long-aged Long Pond that leans more on old oak than classic Jamaican funk. Expect oily texture, deep wood, dark spice and restrained pineapple/banana. A contemplative, historic sipper praised for balance and intensity by RumX members.
The community says- Historic vintage
- Intense wood notes

Review by Olimpia1936
Un long Pond che riempie la bocca bene a lungo, molto ben fatto TOP
Review by Michael Turner
Geschichte in Flaschen, mehrmals probiert und ein toller Tropfen zum Genießen. Allerdings waren meine Erwartungen beim ersten Mal höher, als das was ich im Glas gefunden habe. Wenn man sich damit abgefunden hat, macht er richtig Spaß. Kein Over-the-Top-Rum, was man bei Alter und Abfüller vielleicht denken könnte. Die jamaikanische Herkunft ist eher dezent, im Vordergrund stehen die Reifearomen und die wunderbare Intensität und Balance des Rums. Allerdings eher eindimensional und daher eher kein Meditationsrum, sondern ein genialer Sipper. Wäre für 100-150 € die Flasche ein genialer Tropfen zum Spaß haben.

A few notes I have on this tasting. Nice colour and oily on the palate. Well balanced and the empty glass reveals very clear notes after a while.
Review by Anders Bovien
Nice nose on this old longpond but i Think to old, the age made i to much “wet wood” in the taste and some bad notes on the palate made the score a little lower
Review by Leo Tomczak
Altes Teil. Und sehr holzig. Leider zu alt und zu holzig. Hätte sicher 5 Jahre weniger im Fass vertragen. Gleichzeitig auch recht alkoholisch ohne viele andere Töne. Schade, ich hatte einen großen Rum erwartet aufgrund der Statistiken.
Review by Thunderbird
Tastin-Abend bei Dr. Django (Jamaica): Dieser Cadenhead‘s ist schon etwas Besonderes… trifft aber nicht so wirklich meinen Geschmack. Mir fehlt hier etwas diese frische Leichtigkeit und etwas Funkiness. Der LP ist zusehr auf der dhnklen würzigen Seite.. das wird sicherlich seine Fans haben, mich aber nicht
