Long Pond Plantation Single Cask (The Whisky Exchange) CRV 2009

Coming from Long Pond, you'd expect a funk bomb — but this one is toned way down. The nose is pineapple, vanilla and caramel with light ester; the palate turns thin and dry, with grapes and a touch of spice. Fans of soft, fruity Jamaicans enjoy it, while a few tasters found it watered down and "a little confused" for a Long Pond.

The community says
  • Pineapple and vanilla
  • Easy sipping
  • But: Thin, diluted body

The look inside the bottle

How does Long Pond Plantation Single Cask (The Whisky Exchange) CRV 2009 taste?

Summarized by AI from community reviews.

Soft, fruity Jamaican with muted funk Fruity, vanilla-heavy and easy, but the dilution shows — several found it thin and short. Long Pond purists feel it hides the distillery's real ester character.

Perfect for

People who like soft, fruity Jamaicans without heavy funk

Less suitable for

Long Pond fans chasing full ester and a rich body

Very drinkable Jamaican representative. Absolutely brilliant and complex on the nose and also in the smell. Only the finish could be a bit longer and 2 to 3 percent more would be good too. But I am absolutely thrilled Addendum 15.6.22 Unfortunately, I noticed that the aromas are extremely volatile. My bottle stood closed in the cupboard for 1 year. Only 4cl were missing from 0.7l. The complex ester notes have disappeared. And I had to correct my 90 rating to an 80 rating. Really a pity.

This is a boring rum… A bit fruity, woody with light ester and roasted notes. Very soft, thin and uncomplex due to much diluation…

The nose is mainly fruity, pineapple, surprisingly much vanilla and caramel. The taste is a bit weak. The fruit flavor is a bit dry, grapes, vanilla, spicy and woody. —————- 2026-06-30 Raising it a bit after a second tasting.

Expert review by The Fat Rum Pirate

Plantation Jamaica 2009 Long Pond CRV strikes me as being a little confused or something trying to play to the "normal" Plantation customer. Personally, I think it gives an entirely false impression of what Long Pond/Jamaican rum is all about. Again like Xaymaca I'm felt underwhelmed by another lost opportunity.
