The Rum Albrecht 1993 Long Pond 53% 700ml is a special single rum release that often finds itself overshadowed by its younger sibling, the highly acclaimed 2nd release known for its remarkable price-performance ratio. This rum, distilled in a pot still at the legendary Long Pond distillery in Jamaica, has matured for a full 18 years on the island. The result is an exceptionally rich and intense flavor profile. Bottled by Rum Albrecht without any additives, this high-proof rum boasts an impressive 53% ABV, reflecting its authenticity and robust character.
On the nose, the Rum Albrecht 1993 offers a captivating bouquet featuring estery notes, tropical fruits like papaya, citrus hints, and the sweetness of raisins. There's also a spicy undertone of lovage, making it an inviting yet complex aroma. Upon tasting, it starts dry and astringent with a subtle sweet-bitter-salty interplay, transitioning into honeyed sweetness. This is soon complemented by a nutty, spicy almond-anise combination, with fruity notes of orange peel and pineapple. The finish is long-lasting, revealing hints of lovage and banana, leaving a lingering sweetness and mild bitterness, likely from the barrel aging.
Comparatively, while the 18-year-old version is perceived as slightly milder and less intense than its 17-year-old counterpart, it still offers a delightful and nuanced drinking experience. This rum can be savored neat or enjoyed in cocktails, making it a versatile addition to any rum enthusiast’s collection. Despite initial reservations, many have grown to appreciate the unique qualities of this rum, making it a highly recommended choice for those seeking a well-aged, tropical Jamaican rum at a reasonable price point.
