Long Pond Plantation Jamaica (Salon du Rhum) HJC 1999
Long Pond fans chasing serious power will feel at home here: a 23-year Jamaican pot-still bottled at a brutal 76%. Expect pineapple, overripe banana, glue and solvent up front, then oak, cocoa, leather and spice as it opens. What almost everyone notes is how well the alcohol is tamed for the strength. Give it 20 minutes and small sips.
The community says- Alcohol well integrated
- Complex tropical esters
- Brutal 76% ABV

Review by crazyforgoodbooze
So this is really crazy 😃 somehow the taste reminds me extremely of absinthe and ouzo together with the slightly fermented compost and meat note typical of TECA and some cocoa and other tropical fruits. In contrast to my final opponent Teca 2003, however, this is pleasant due to this aniseed freshness (although I hate aniseed!) Furthermore, the alcohol is incredibly well integrated at 76%, which definitely deserves extra points even if I definitely wouldn't need a bottle of this 😃 let's put it this way: it's so perverse that it's good again🤣 Meanwhile I get notes of cherry brandy and marzipan in the finish. Holy shit awesome stuff!!! 🔥
Review by SaibotZtar
Woohoo what a grenade... Brachial Long Pond 😎 Alcohol incredibly well integrated and at an incredible 76% 😳😳😳😳 Dilution, Uhu come first, Bääähm💥 full in the Fre... e .... Gradually it opens up and fruits, wood, honey and of course "umami" come through well. An insane drop!!!! I am thrilled.... Let's see what he delivers in May Tai.
Review by Dr.Django
A grenade! The question about the integration of the alcohol at 76% needs to be answered first. It is very well integrated! Astringent on the palate and on the dark Jamaica side. Funky estwr with sour cherry, honey and fleshy spicy notes. Super! The finish is unfortunately not long enough to get any more out of it. Either way, a super piece! Second tasting: +1 point.
Review by Serge
Very tasty Jamaican with a nice tropical maturity and great ABV - that's how I like it. Pleasantly dry on the palate with a nice astringency. Lots of esters and plenty of oomph. The cognac finish works very well - as is often the case with this type of rum.
Review by Jakob
Once again a remarkable bottling from Plantation. Does not come for me in the spheres of the 2002 Hampden, but these extremely high-proof releases offer aromatically a very impressive spectrum. There are rich tropical fruits, citrus notes, plus rather subtle accompanying aromatics of wood, spice and tart sweetness. The present level at this high alcohol strength and the called, very fair prices actually hardly fits into the current time. I can't help but pay Plantation great respect for this.
Review by Mirco
Sehr gelungene Abfüllung mit intensiven Aromen von reifer Ananas, überreifen Bananen und vergorenen tropischen Früchten. Im Hintergrund finden sich leicht medizinische Noten, etwas Lösungsmittel und dezente Gewürze. Die Textur ist ölig, der Geschmack komplex und tief, mit gut integrierter Alkoholstärke und langem Nachhall. Ein kraftvoller und typischer Jamaikaner, der viel zu entdecken bietet.
Review by Thunderbird
A great LP that shows its age! It is more on the dark side, which suits it very well! You can feel the 76%, but it is well integrated. After some time in the glass it becomes much more harmonious
Review by Frank
I have been interested in this for a long time. I love LP, and then here such an old with mighty wums!Nose: nice compact, intense and tasty. Once the initial % boost is gone, you have a great aroma play. Max 150 esters let the fruity aromas come through nicely. Blood orange, currant and raisin. Age gives a nice woodiness, lightly toasted and malty with some cocoa powder. Heavy sweetness of cream toffee and vanilla. Wow!Palate: blatantly astringent at the start, it lays down a great flavor curve through slightly bitter, strong esters, sour pineapple, to cassis, green apple and woody flavors. Then out the back some leather, very light licorice and papaya. The alcohol is fantastically integrated. 19 J tropical 4 J cognac barrel actually do it very well. Great rum!
Review by Thomas Wille
76%vol. sind eine Ansage. Super eingebunden, komplexe Noten. Ein Rum für Stunden
Review by Oliver
Absolutely exceptional Long Pond. Insanely intense and powerful - without being alcoholic. Top price-performance ratio. Off to 🇧🇪!
Review by Leo Krüper
Sehr viel Power und Cognac. Wieder eine schöne Plantation Abfüllung auf hohen 70%. Die Nase ist das Highlight, sehr viel Holz durch die tropische Lagerung.
Review by Basti
Spannender Rum. Die Nase ist echt spannend und gibt immer wieder neue Aromen frei, auch wenn man den hohen ABV etwas merkt. Am Gaumen vermisse ich etwas die fruchtigen Aromen. Alkohol gut eingenunden. Edit 2. Verkostung: Die Nase gefällt mir extrem gut mit getr. Früchten, Kokosnuss, Karamell, Vanille, trop. Früchte und etwas Klebstoff und Ester. Der hohe ABV lässt sich nicht leugnen, stört aber auch nicht sonderlich. Mit mehr Zeit im Glas driftet das Profil etwas in Richtung Vergorenes und Milchprpdukte (sauer). Am Gaumen intensiv schon etwas adstringend mit überwiegend würzigen Noten, etwas Holz, Leder und Lakritz. Am Gaumen verliert er bei mir ein paar Punkte, dennoch tolles Teil mit ordentlich Power!!
Review by Johannes
Wow, das ist mal ein komplexes Brett!
Review by mto75
die schiere Power an der Nase erschlägt zu Beginn…nach ca. 20 Min öffnet er sich dann und es kommt eine schwere Süße tropischer Früchte, dazu Kräutersud, Kautabak, Möbelpolitur, Karamell. Am Gaumen LP typische Noten von Bratensoße, Balsamico, Karamell, altes getoastetes Fass, im Abgang Schwarztee. Die 76% sind schon brachial, aber die lange tropische Reifung hat die Kanten auf erträgliches Niveau abgerundet 😊Erstklassiges Teil!
Review by Vincent D
Extrêmement concentré. Ça ne peut pas laisser indifférent 😁 Fort. Chaud. Funky. C'est extrêmement concentré et ça évolue avec le temps. L'alcool est bien intégré mais punaise, il faut avoir le palais bien accroché.
Review by Benoit Mahe
Le nez est un peu fermé même avec de l'aération. La bouche est impressionnante. On a les fruits tropicaux et les esters d'un jamaïcain avec des marqueurs d'un rhum longuement vieilli sous les tropicaux (boisé, cacao, cuir). C'est plaisant, la bouche est longue. L'alcool est incroyablement intégré.
Review by Chrischi78
Beachtliches ABV aber erstaunlich gut eingebunden. Der Stoff schafft wirklich Freude: Ein äußerst kraftvoller Long Pond – die 76% Alkohol sind deutlich präsent, aber gut eingebunden und keineswegs störend. Er weckt bei mir starke Assoziationen zu den Velier TECA-Abfüllungen. Besonders gefällt mir die durchgängige Linie: von der Nase über den Gaumen bis hin zum Abgang bleibt er harmonisch und stimmig. Erst ganz am Ende treten Eiche und eine gewisse Trockenheit stärker hervor.
Review by RumTaTa
Very powerful Long Pond, the 76% are noticeable but do not interfere. This rum reminds me very much of Velier TECA bottlings. I like the consistency from nose to palate to finish. Only at the very end does oak and dryness push to the fore. Unfortunately out of stock.
Review by zabo
Hier mal Danke ans Serge fürs öffnen. Schöner Long Pond, bringt alles mit, was er mitbringen soll/muss/kann. Aber bei der Range des gestrigen Abends ist dieser von einem Ausgezeichnet leider ein wenig entfernt, bei der harten Konkurrenz. Aber ein super leckeres Teil. Und natürlich auch in einer ganz anderen Preisliga, aber für das liefert er super ab.
Review by Lot-NAS
Really great and intensive Long Pond, strong fruity esters (pineapple and banana) with different solvents. There are lots of spices, a little bit of leather, chocolate and wood in addition. The is really strong and it is almost a bit too complex. A few drops of water are widening the palate a bit. 8.7 without water / 8.9 with water. Great drop!
