Long Pond Plantation Extreme No. 3 ITP 1996
Long Pond fans who want fruit over funk will click with this one. It's a lower-ester ITP: ripe banana, mango and tropical fruit up front, glue and light solvent on the nose, then the 22 years and Cognac finish bring oak, spice, coffee and a dry, almost brandy-like close. Several tasters call it rounder and more elegant than "extreme" suggests.
The community says- Ripe tropical fruit
- Elegant Cognac finish
- But: Steep for the profile

Aggregated from 75 community reviews.
Fruity, oaky Long Pond with a Cognac finish Loved as a balanced, fruity Long Pond that leans Cognac-like and drinks easy at cask strength. The recurring grumble is value — many feel the price outruns the quality.

Review by TheRhumhoe
A lovely Long Pond with a beautiful aromatic palette. The nose starts with light esters and glue, then reveals a lovely basket of tropical fruits (banana, pineapple, citrus) that scent the nostrils. The profile then becomes more caramelized, spicy, woody and buttery, gaining in sweetness but losing a little intensity. The palate returns to pretty exotic fruits (mango, papaya, banana), accompanied by spices (cinnamon, vanilla), caramel and a woodiness that has a slight influence on the final finish. The medicinal touch reveals prominent esters that offer a complex, elegant profile, with a gourmet, creamy mouthfeel. The alcohol is well integrated. The finish is long but much more marked by the cask: cognac, spices, licorice, dark chocolate and raisin contrast with the exuberance of exotic fruit and medicinal funk. The profile is drier but still fragrant. A Long Pond not as extreme as the series suggests, but rather refined, aesthetic and very well mastered.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Incredibly cool nose of fully ripe tropical fruit, peach, ester and fresh caramel with lemon balm. On the palate, the 22y in the cask come into their own and complement the profile aromatically with cinnamon, red berries, dark caramel, lemon balm and light tannins from the wood, as well as mango Roiboos tea. Very round, dry, not too funky but not too thin either. I really like it, could do with a little less wood but overall really delicious.
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
No big surprise, the typical solvents of Jamaica offer themselves to the nose immediately. But the tropical fruit salad makes its appearance very quickly. The nose is very elegant with a touch of honey very greedy. The whole is very pleasant with scents of light spices and woody. In mouth, it is in the frame of the nose, very fruity, again on tropical fruits and strawberry. It's very light and balanced with a soft woody taste. The few 50% are perfectly melted. It is greedy and drinks like whey. Nice length more on the coffee.
Review by Serge
Tropically aged low ester LP with a lot of fruit on the nose. In addition to the typical banana in various stages of ripeness, peach, grape, red fruit and dried fruit. A hint of mango on the palate. Also on the palate: some astringency, tannins and bitterness - but still pleasant and in a nice combination with the fruity cognac finish. I Like.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
I just picken up this bottle today and put in an order for the HJC and can't wait to get that one for my collection. This ITP is a very well balanced 22 year old Jamaican rum from Long Pond. You may want to add a few drops of water to release the full potential of this rum. Though a bit expensive I still think the cost matches the quality.
Review by Christoph
Angenehm fruchtig in der Nase und eine frische süße in der Luft wie auf einer Plantage. Im Geschmack weichen die Fruchtnoten dann etwas der Eiche und im Abgang verliert der Rum dann etwas, da der Nachgeschmack im Prinzip nur pelzig und holzig am Gaumen ist und nur wenig Fruchtaromen im Mund hinterlässt.
Review by cigares
A very fruity nose with tropical fruit, yellow fruit, caramel, young wood, leather and old varnished wood. A lively start on the palate, but the fruity aromas rise quickly, accompanied by spices and wood. The finish is long, with fruit and cedar wood (cigar box).

Gefällig. Leider schnell wieder vergessen
Review by Tomas Hajlich
Pro me velmi rozporuplne LP.Ve vuni znacne estery ikdyz v porovnani s jinymi LP slabsi. V chuti uhlazene, vystupuje cognac, tmave banany, sladke, lehky alkohol ale je dobre integrovany, pali opravdu jen lehce. Zaver: rum vyborny ale vzhledem k cene a nesehnatelnosti bych si vybral jiny.

Review by Piotr Ignasiak
Very enjoyable sipper. As a long pond fan this hits well my prefernces. It's very fruity, sweet with a dark chocolate note,.some funk not too much, a bit flowery. Alcohol barely noticeable. only downside for me is a finish which is not too long. Thanks Martin S for the sample.
Review by Speedflo
Im "Rum House Caribbean" probiert. Fantastischer ITP von Plantation mit beste funky Esternoten, Getrocknete karibische Frücht in der Nase und im Mund. Die sehr i tensiven Geschmäcker auch nach diversen Gewürzen unterstreichen die tropische Lagerung.
Review by Tschusikowsky
Leckerer Low Ester Jamaikaner. In der Nase prägnat Banane, relativ cremig im Mund und im Abgang dann trocken-tanninig. Gute Gesamtkombo, sehr smooth, eckt nirgends an. Erinnert teilweise ein wenig an Cognac. Gute Länge im Abgang.
Review by Steffmaus🇩🇰
Tasted at the Whisky & Rum festival, the 27th of october, 2023. Plantation had a stand, and had some goodies behind the table! Plenty of flavours due to a rather high estercount, with notes of ripe fruits, oak and molasses
Review by Double Barrel
I love jamaican rums and i also love cognacs so i'm in heaven! I advise to try it also with a dash of water. Estery and even petroly, spicy with all the fruits shining bright and long thanks to the cognac finish.
Review by Beach-and-Rum 🏖️🌴
Ein Long Pond der überraschend rund ist und mir persönlich doch sehr gut gefällt. Eine schöne Balance aus fruchtigen Noten und der Holzigkeit des Fasses. Über den Preis der Flasche lässt sich sicherlich streiten.
Review by Filip Šikula
Extrém je prostě vždycky extrém, a ač mi jich ještě hodně zbývá, zatím jsem byl vždy nadšen. Nejinak je to u tohoto long pondu, kde se jedná o nádherný vyvážený kousek, intenzivní ovoce a dub. Nádherné.
Review by DomM
This one is very enjoyable. In that it reminds me somewhat of the 2000 VRWs. While this is more leaning towards darker notes and less fruity, I find it dangerously „sippable“- just as the VRWs. 😁
