Long Pond Plantation Jamaica (Astor Select) STC❤️E 1995
Sip this one neat and slow — it opens up over time. Expect cherry cola, ripe pineapple and banana, glue and dark chocolate, with roasted oak and a touch of menthol. One taster called it a "cherry cola ester bomb," and that fits. At 28 years and cask strength, the wood stays surprisingly restrained, letting the fruit and ester funk lead. Powerful but rounded.
- Cherry cola esters
- Rounded for cask strength
- Restrained oak

Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Extremely cool STC❤️E! Lime zest, cola, dark chocolate, papaya, slightly mineral, bacony and mentholated. Perfect alcohol content, extremely tasty, intense and long-lasting. Ultra drinkable, you could finish the bottle straight away! Thank you Oli!

Communitytreffen RumX Acht Oktober 2025. Mal ein richtig guter Plantation. Jedenfalls gibt es hier (überreife) tropische Früchte, außerdem auch etwas Ester, Holz und Klebstoff. Ein echt guter Plantation.
Review by LukaŽiga
8,6:On the nose, esters and glue, tropical fruits like banana and pineapple, some lime, roasted, spicy wood with roasted nuts, bump into our nosetrils. On aeration, the barrel impact is strong, especially with pastry, notes of petrol pop up. 8,6:On the palate, the attack is tasty with roasted wood notes, slightly salty, spicy with vanilla, baking spices and tropical fruits, overripe, like pineapple and banana, some lime peel, medicinal notes like esters, as we quickly arrive to strong barrel impact with various cognac tones, baked apple, dark chocolate and Cola, delicious dark berries. 8,7:The finish is long, dry, tannic, cognac finish leaves it s mark, with strong oak, the wood is roasted, especially with dark chocolate, hints of bacon, there are various tropical and citrus fruits, some menthol.
Review by Mirco
Powerful Long Pond with a great ester profile and astonishing roundness. Power and complexity meet a remarkable balance here. Tropical fruits, fermented notes and fine spice are harmoniously interwoven, a real highlight within its style.
Review by Ian Gilman
This doesn’t really need an introduction. 23 year STCE. Cherry cola ester bomb with some chocolate and menthol. Even though it’s old, the barrel influence isn’t that strong and that’s a plus for me because I worry more about over- rather than under-oaking. Really a pinnacle of rum.
