Long Pond Plantation The Collector No. 1
Sip this one neat and it drinks like a gentle, tropical-aged Jamaican: mango, banana, pineapple, a bit of vanilla and light oak, with a warm fruity finish. Long Pond, 18 years, pot still at 43%. Several tasters call it an easy sipper — one flags it as a touch flat, almost "watery" at this strength — so temper expectations of a big funk bomb.
The community says- Balanced tropical nose
- Long fruity finish
- But: Can read thin

The look inside the bottle
How does Long Pond Plantation The Collector No. 1 taste?
Aggregated from 17 community reviews.
Easy, fruit-forward aged Jamaican sipper Most find it a relaxed, fruit-forward Long Pond — well-balanced nose, gentle palate. The recurring gripe is it can read a little thin and low on power for the age.

Perfekt ausbalancierte Aromen in der Nase. Die tropische Reifung von 17 Jahren bringt eine tolle Harmonie aus tropischen Früchten und angenehm holzigen Tönen. Am Gaumen entspannt, ohne langweilig zu sein. Toller Easy Sipper!

Die Nase Fruchtig frisch leichte Ester Vanille Banane Mango und Kräuternotes. Am Gaumen erstmal etwas Flach fast wässrig... auch hier dann Ananas Mango Banane etwas Vanille leicht Holz . Mir irgendwie etwas zu Flach und Wässrig.

Review by Christopher Morrison
Caramel, mangue, nougat. Très gourmand, manque de watt à mon goût mais très bon
Review by Filip Šikula
Je až neuvěřitelný, jak plný rum to je, vzhledem k poměrně nízkému ABV. Nos je naprosto geniálně vyvážený plný ovoce. Tropické zrání se tu velmi podepsalo a v chuti nabídne poctivou dávku ovoce s přijemně dlouhým závěrem.
Review by Carlitooo
Ein leichter Jamaikaner, Alkohol nicht ganz perfekt eingebunden, aber dennoch entspannt trinkbar
