Long Pond Plantation Ambre Ferrand Finish (The Nectar) CRV 1993
Near-universal love here, with one recurring warning: give it air. Straight from the bottle several tasters found it closed and hot, but after an hour it opens into mango, toasted coconut, vanilla and toffee with a woody, spicy backbone. What amazes everyone is the 76.8% — most say the alcohol is remarkably well integrated. A tropical-aged Long Pond that drinks more like a rich column Demerara than a funk bomb.

How does Long Pond Plantation Ambre Ferrand Finish (The Nectar) CRV 1993 taste?
Aggregated from 71 community reviews.
Powerful, fruity Long Pond that needs air Broadly adored — mango, coconut and roasted wood carried by shockingly well-tamed 76.8% alcohol. The one real gripe: it needs long resting time, and a few felt the finish falls short.

Review by Nicholas Hardy
Tried it in Paris. I think about it often, like a Parisian one night stand.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Legendary stuff of the gods! 🤤 Even after such a long time in the barrel, not overtaken, still super intense-spicy, funky & fruity... And 76.8% ? Are you kidding me? 🤣 It feels like it has a maximum of 63%... Alk is extremely well integrated even if it bites a little but this thing is really fun! Tastes like a kind of prune-baked banana balsamic, furry kiwi & mango with some dates & mint, various baking spices, slightly burnt wood, tannins and caramelized coconut ... Simply wonderful! Blindly, I would put this on top of what is probably the best 1994 New Yarmouth. Absolutely awesome....
Review by Hood
Given the watts, we know we're dealing with something else! During my first tasting, I didn't recognize the Long Pond touch, I found it rather closed and I thought it needed a long aeration. This time, I let it rest for over an hour before dipping my lips in it... And indeed, it does it good. The nose opens on a spicy side, and smells of bitter orange. On the palate, it's very powerful, still citrusy, drifting towards almond, the fatness I usually find in many Long Ponds less present at first, but then coating the palate. It's good, but I had to let it rest, and despite everything, it's still very alcoholic.
Review by Clément Boetto🤤🇫🇷
Another incredible plantation bottling! An almost perfect balance in every respect.
Review by Holle525
A horny drop. Enormous power thanks to almost 77% vol. Nevertheless, the alcohol is very well integrated. A slight sweetness pairs with the typical LP flavor profile. Middle finger finish.
Review by Santo
A truly surprising Rum in every way! First of all, the ABV is extremely well integrated on both the nose and the palate, and the tropical maturation is just perfect, not too woody and fruity to perfection. An excellent long-weight column!
Review by Rumclub Latvia
Time. On nose soul of spirit are absolutely well integrated in body. Palate are fantastic. With small sips even on this ABV this rum are remarkable. Aftertaste is super long, mellow and touch of bakery spices. Very good experience and absolutely lovely Long Pond. And this release shows once again that Plantation could be on very very good level products. 👍
Review by Serge
Was für eine Granate … sehr leckerer Stoff und genau mein Ding. Satte tropische Lagerung mit feinen Eiche, Vanille und Toffee Noten, etwas Kokosnuss und Kakao sowie tropische Früchte (Mango, Papaya) und Leim. Man könnte meinen man hat einen tropischen Column Guyana im Glas.
Review by Johannes
The profile is clearly different from the Long Pond 1993 LPS. Much less fruity, less esters, but much more tropical wood influence. Blind I would probably have typed him in the direction of tropical Guyana such as the Eldorados.
Review by Alexander Rasch
Wow. What a board. Still a little closed on the nose, the rum is beautifully dark with lots of mango. The rum unfolds brilliantly on the palate. There is a lot to discover here. The alcohol is perfectly integrated. At last, another rum where I couldn't define everything (not that it would be right otherwise 😅) - I'm thrilled. Dark, warm and complex. Top.
Review by Basti
When crosstasted with other Long Ponds, this one is a little more tamed in the glass. Again, quite a lot of accessible notes such as coconut, ger. Nuts, various spices, tropical and dried fruits, caramel and some glue in the background. Edit: Gets more intense/better with a lot of time in the glass.
Review by mto75
again such a Plantation bottling that proves courage! Like the HJF 2002, with over 70% and leave that so without reducing! The courage has also paid off here fully: The notes of mango, coconut, prune, toffee, milk chocolate are wonderfully accentuated by the high ABV, almost no sharpness! Chapeau!
Review by Maxence
Nose suffers a bit from the 27 years of aging. It feels slightly too woody and spicy. However, on the palate, it is much more well balanced, fruity and round with an impressive aromatic concentration. This rum is fire 🔥
Review by Rene Pfeiffer
Intensiv. Nase: Kokos, Vanille, Mango, würzig, süßlich, Toffee. Am Gaumen ähnlich, aber eher dunkle Frucht. Alkohol gut eingebunden. Schön röstig. Langer Abgang. Erstaunlich rund. Insgesamt ein sehr guter Rum.
Review by DaveLamb
amazing column still, really alcohol-intense, full of strike
Review by Thunderbird
76.8% alcohol!!! If it were not on the label, I would not have believed it! But from the start: the nose spreads a strong fruit of ripe plum and mango, accompanied by pleasant sweetness and delicate vanilla!On the palate, the rum spreads pleasantly with fruitiness and sweetness, which is then followed by a slight spicy sharpness and vanilla! In harmony with roasted nuts! Overall very balanced and round! No trace of alcoholic spiciness! Incredibly! Since quite excellent work was done! The only downer is the relatively short and unspectacular finish, too bad ... that costs the rum unfortunately a two points! Nevertheless, an excellent rum
Review by Leo Krüper
What a power. Really outstanding.
Review by Adrian Wahl
Brutal device. Even after an hour of breathing in the glass, it still goes down hard. 76.8% (!!!) what a horny bottling
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
The nose is extremely fruity (not at all alcoholic). We are far from the very expressive High ester, we are closer to the greedy nose of Foursquare. We have mango, pineapple and spices full of nostril. It is attractive. In the mouth it is rich and powerful on the spices. It is very woody (normal after 28 years of ageing) but we have a fruit salad that intensifies as the tasting goes on and greedy coconut in the final fireworks. It is clearly a great success, a real tasting rum that finishes in beauty a nice lineup.
