Long Pond Plantation Jamaica (Luxembourgish Cask Selection) VRW 2009
Best sipped neat with a little air, where the orange-wine cask really wakes up. Esters, solvent, rubber and roasted oak lead, then orange peel, mango, banana and burnt sugar follow. Most tasters land around "kein Knaller, aber" — meaning a genuinely good Long Pond, just not a blockbuster. One reviewer pictured it perfectly as a cigar companion.
- Tropical ester funk
- Orange-wine cask works
- Cigar companion

Aggregated from 15 community reviews.
Funky Long Pond with orange-wine cask twist A solidly liked Long Pond with an unusual orange-wine finish that most agree works. A few wish it had more power and complexity on the palate, and the bitter-orange twist isn't for everyone.

Review by Skyfly
Long Pond mit sehr starkem Fasseinfluss (Orangewein), der in diesem Fall jedoch passt. Von Nase bis Abgang sind Junges Holz und Ester präsent. Daneben noch Gewürze und ganz dezente Fruchtnoten. Kein Knaller, aber auch nicht schlecht. Super PLV
