CoR Long Pond Jamaica No. 12 LPS 1998 23yr 52,7%
The Jamaica No. 12 LPS by Long Pond distillery, selected by The Colours of Rum, boasts a 23-year maturation after 1998 distillation in Jamaica. Bottled at 52.7% ABV, this limited edition—with only 163 bottles—combines pot-still richness with candied, tropical fruit notes. User reviews highlight a light, round profile, missing expected intensity and ester presence typical of Long Pond rums. Many find it a fruity, easy sipper though lacking in complexity. Some observe soft wood nuances and a hint of spice, yet note its understated aroma and flavor range. While praised as a gateway into Jamaica's rums, it leaves connoisseurs desiring more robust character and lengthier finish.

“Got a sample of this rum for free from RumX. It’s a 23yo pot still rum distilled in 1998 continental aged in an ex-Rum barrel whereafter it’s bottled at cask strength in just 163 bottles at 52,7%. Overall a fruity, soft and round rum. Not a typical Long Pond.”

“Mmh .... very thin ... tastes almost watery. I had really expected more. Some fruit, some wood ....minimal esters. Everything already there but incredibly little of everything ... A real shame. Very short finish without leaving an impression, at least for me.”

“Jamaica No. 8 vs No. 11 vs No. 12 Nose clearly goes to No. 11. very nice basket of fruits and overripe banana. Is this maybe one of the 2000 VRWs vs LPS for the other two? No. 12 is nice with some tropical fruits and spices. No. 8 is dominated by wood and remains sharp even after > 1h in the glas. Taste: 2001 (8) much better on the palate vs on the nose. However, a little thin and unassuming. Not bad, though. 2000 (11) sweet and fruity on the palate as well. Easy going but also quite nice. If anybody knows the mark on this, let me know 🙂 Overall my winner out of the three 1998 (12) also very round and easy going. A little more wood and roasted notes. Feels a little thin and uninspired to me, however.”
