Bristol Long Pond 1985 37yr 49,5%
The 1985 Long Pond rum, aged for 37 years, offers a complex sensory journey. Produced in Jamaica and bottled by Bristol Classic Rum, this pot still creation expresses notes of tropical fruits like mango, wood, and spice. On the palate, flavors of barrel depth, burnt sugar, and hints of vanilla and roasted elements are noted. While users appreciate its elegance and balance, some highlight its subdued intensity and robust sweetness. This rum’s lengthy aging brings surprising smoothness despite its wood-driven profile, making it a noteworthy choice, though it's occasionally perceived as lacking the depth found in younger counterparts.

“Erstaunlich frische Nase für das hohe Alter. Die Fruchtnoten rücken am Gaumen aber mit zunehmender Länge in den Hintergrund, dafür kommt eine schöne Süsse und etwas mehr Holzeinschlag zum Vorschein - dabei kippt der Rum aber keinesfalls in zu bittere Sphären. Leider fehlt mir insgesamt aber ein wenig die aromatische Raffinesse, weshalb am Ende ein zwar sehr leckerer Rum im Glas bleibt, der sich aber nicht ganz in die absolute Topliga einreihen kann.”

“Rather unusual Long Pond. A crisp sweetness on the palate - almost too much.”

“For me one of the nicer bottlings of 80ish Long Ponds. It presents a rather fruity nose with mango and peach alongside vanilla and wood. On the palate wood is (unsurprisingly) more present but the overall picture is nicely balanced with fruity notes and enough liveliness despite its long aging.”
