Long Pond 2000, 21 years, Jamaica edition No. 11
Tasting Notes:
Long Pond is located somehow right between Hampden and Worthy Park. Colour: pale gold. Nose: a fast-changing Long Pond, starting with vinegar, chervil and parsley, getting then fruitier (bananas, mangoes) and then chalky and varnishy. Water would tell us more about it. With water: a little seawater, very soft vinegar (we have one called Melfor), a few ashes… Mouth (neat): heavy esters but not extreme esters, rather sweet, with some sirups, sugarcane syrup, a little banana liqueur, triple-sec… It really is a different kind of 'Jamaican balance'. With water: olives and gherkins returning, but it would remain an easier, sweeter, fruitier Jamaican beast. Finish: medium, saltier again. More seawater. Comments: love this style too. After several 86s, we're now having several 88s. We'll have to add more action to our next rum sessions. Let's try to unlock this curse… So to speak.
Note: SGP: 651 - 88 points.
