Long Pond Plantation Single Cask (The Whisky Exchange) CRV 2009
Expecting big Long Pond funk? This one pulls in the other direction. Pineapple, vanilla and caramel lead, with only light ester and a soft, roasted edge underneath. The catch most tasters land on is dilution — at 42.6% it reads thin and a little dry on the finish. Pleasant and fruity, but tamer than you'd expect from this distillery.
- Pineapple and vanilla
- Easy drinking
- Light ester funk

How does Long Pond Plantation Single Cask (The Whisky Exchange) CRV 2009 taste?
Aggregated from 21 community reviews.
Soft, fruity Jamaican, lighter than expected Fruity and easy, but several tasters call it thin and short. Fans of pot-still funk feel it under-delivers; one even said it gives a false impression of Long Pond.

Review by Galli33
This is a boring rum… A bit fruity, woody with light ester and roasted notes. Very soft, thin and uncomplex due to much diluation…
Review by Gregor
Sehr süffiger jamaikavertreter. Absolut genial und komplex in der Nase und auch im Geruch. Nur der Abgang konnte ein bisschen länger sein und 2 bis 3 Prozent mehr wären auch gut. Aber ich bin absolut begeistert Nachtrag 15.6.22 Leider ist mir aufgefallen das die aromen extrem flüchtig sind. Meine fladxhe stand 1 jahr geschlossen im Schrank. Lediglich 4cl haben von 0,7l gefehlt. Die komplexen esternoten sind verschwunden. Und ich musste meine 90er bewertung auf eine 80er Bewertung korrigieren. Echt schade
Review by Lukas (RUMster 🥃)
Nach dem 12. am Abend, gar nicht mehr so komplex :)
Review by Motvind
Dotften är främst fruktig, ananas, förvånansvärt mycket vanilj och karamell. Smaken är lite klen. Fruktsmaken är lite torr, druvor, vanilj, kryddig och träig.

Read full review →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.
