Aroma visualization from community tastings
Long Pond & Clarendon Plantation Jamaica Grands Terroirs 2005
Most people land on "a good entry Jamaica" here, though a few find it sharp for the strength. The nose is the star: a whole basket of tropical fruit, juicy pear, banana, vanilla and a little resinous wood. The palate turns spicier and woodier, with almond, caramel and cocoa. One taster called it "not really my thing. A bit too sharp." A drop of water helps.
The community says- Tropical fruit nose
- Good value

How does Long Pond & Clarendon Plantation Jamaica Grands Terroirs 2005 taste?
Aggregated from 71 community reviews.
Fruity Jamaican sipper, a touch sharp Well-liked as a first funky Jamaican — fruity, spicy and honest. The common gripe: the alcohol bites for only 45%, and it's more tasty than complex.

06.2024 First impression: very aromatic, clear golden color, clear legs in the glass Nose: wide range of aromas, tropical fruits, esters, wood, vanilla, even some smoke Palate: the alcohol bites first, followed by the barrels of maturation and fruit, complex Finish: medium length, warm, wood, smoke Overall impression: I like the nose better than the palate, pleasant sipper, maybe try it in a punch? 201X? no comments

This one may need a drop of water or two in order to release all the flavours. I'd be willing to classifying this rum as funky, but it is of course from Jamaica so you'd expect that. A very nice well balanced nose and a funky palate with an explosion of flavours. The finish is long, warm and has some spices to it. Price to quality is very good.
Review by Galli33
Good daily sipper jamican. Lovely fruit basket paired with grated almonds and some honey with a hint of peppermint. This combination repeats in the mouth, without being any compley at all. The Finish is short-medium long. The alcohol isn’t integrated well, too spicy for 45% only. PLV is very good.
Review by Pepeto Neto
Plantation étonnant, légèrement tourbé à la banane caramélisée... enfin pour moi c'est ce qui le caractérise car c'est ce que je sens le plus.

Not really my thing. A bit too sharp
Review by Bernardo
The nose appears balanced with lots of fruit, a variety of aromas appear on the palate, much spicier than the nose suggests, long finish with spices.
