Long Pond 15 Year 2000 Whisky Agency

Review #1248; Rum #557

This single barrel of Jamaican rum is from the Long Pond Distillery. It was aged for 15 years in an ex-bourbon barrel and bottled for The Whisky Agency.

This is a re-review, as I tried over 2 years ago

Distillery: Long Pond

Bottler: Whisky Agency

Region: Jamaica

Still: Pot

ABV: 49.3%

---

Nose: Grilled Pineapple, Mango, Toasted Coconut, Lime, Allspice, Apple, Cement Glue

Palate: Medium Mouthfeel, Grilled Pineapple, Toasted Coconut, Allspice, Lime, Mango, Apple

Finish: Medium length finish, Allspice, Nutmeg, Lime, Black Pepper, Grilled Pineapple, Apple

I like this the same as when I last tried. The fruits feel more prominent to me now, and it has just a touch of that industrial cement glue note. Overall, this is a great example of a lower ester Jamaican rum that is well aged and well balanced.

Rating: 6/10
