Long Pond Plantation Single Cask (The Whisky Exchange) CRV 2009
Coming from Long Pond, you'd expect a funk bomb — but this one is toned way down. The nose is pineapple, vanilla and caramel with light ester; the palate turns thin and dry, with grapes and a touch of spice. Fans of soft, fruity Jamaicans enjoy it, while a few tasters found it watered down and "a little confused" for a Long Pond.
The community says- Pineapple and vanilla
- Easy sipping
- Thin, diluted body

How does Long Pond Plantation Single Cask (The Whisky Exchange) CRV 2009 taste?
Aggregated from 21 community reviews.
Soft, fruity Jamaican with muted funk Fruity, vanilla-heavy and easy, but the dilution shows — several found it thin and short. Long Pond purists feel it hides the distillery's real ester character.

Sehr süffiger jamaikavertreter. Absolut genial und komplex in der Nase und auch im Geruch. Nur der Abgang konnte ein bisschen länger sein und 2 bis 3 Prozent mehr wären auch gut. Aber ich bin absolut begeistert Nachtrag 15.6.22 Leider ist mir aufgefallen das die aromen extrem flüchtig sind. Meine fladxhe stand 1 jahr geschlossen im Schrank. Lediglich 4cl haben von 0,7l gefehlt. Die komplexen esternoten sind verschwunden. Und ich musste meine 90er bewertung auf eine 80er Bewertung korrigieren. Echt schade

This is a boring rum… A bit fruity, woody with light ester and roasted notes. Very soft, thin and uncomplex due to much diluation…
Review by Lukas (RUMster 🥃)
Nach dem 12. am Abend, gar nicht mehr so komplex :)
Review by Motvind
Dotften är främst fruktig, ananas, förvånansvärt mycket vanilj och karamell. Smaken är lite klen. Fruktsmaken är lite torr, druvor, vanilj, kryddig och träig.

Expert review by The Fat Rum Pirate
Read full review →Plantation Jamaica 2009 Long Pond CRV strikes me as being a little confused or something trying to play to the "normal" Plantation customer. Personally, I think it gives an entirely false impression of what Long Pond/Jamaican rum is all about. Again like Xaymaca I'm felt underwhelmed by another lost opportunity.
