Old Jamaica 1977 Long Pond 35 years old is a rare and exquisite rum from the legendary Long Pond distillery in Jamaica, known for producing high ester rums. Dating back to 1753, Long Pond is a part of NRJ (National Rums of Jamaica) and is owned by the Jamaican government in collaboration with West Indies and Demerara Distillers. In 1977, the distillery came under complete control of the Jamaican government. In 2012, Hubert Corman had the unique opportunity to select barrels from either 1982 or 1977, ultimately choosing a 1977 and a 1982, both reduced to 50% ABV. This distinguished rum, limited to only 229 bottles, presents a stunning mahogany color with slow legs descending the glass. The nose is an intricate blend of woody aromas, sweet vanilla, tropical fruits such as pineapple and ripe banana, complemented by roasted notes and a hint of medicinal undertones. The palate begins with a sharp 50% ABV kick, featuring a complex balance of roasted wood, spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, bourbon vanilla, and a hint of citrus bitterness. The reduction brings out the fruity and spicy notes, culminating in a delightful chocolatey bitterness. The aging process has given this rum an enormous length on the finish, indicative of its venerable age. Priced at 110€, this bottle represents excellent value for a rum of this caliber. While it may not be as funky as some other Long Pond rums, it is delicate, nuanced, and essential for any rum connoisseur. Hubert’s selection showcases finesse, character, and elegance, offering a colorful and enjoyable drinking experience.
This rum is special due to its age of 35 years, limited production of only 229 bottles, its high ester content, and the esteemed heritage of the Long Pond distillery.
The barrels were selected by Hubert Corman in 2012, who chose from either 1982 or 1977 vintages, ultimately going with both but reduced to 50% ABV.
The 50% ABV provides a robust kick that complements the complex flavors and aromas, making the rum more balanced and allowing the fruity and spicy notes to shine.
As a rum aficionado, the Old Jamaica 1977 Long Pond 35yo stands out for its complexity and elegance. While it may not be as bold as other Long Pond offerings, it provides a refined and nuanced tasting experience. The balance of woody, fruity, and chocolatey notes, combined with its significant aging, make it a must-have for any serious rum collector. Priced at 110€, it's also an excellent value for such a rare and distinguished spirit.
