Long Pond Plantation The Collector No. 1
Sip this one neat and it drinks like a gentle, tropical-aged Jamaican: mango, banana, pineapple, a bit of vanilla and light oak, with a warm fruity finish. Long Pond, 18 years, pot still at 43%. Several tasters call it an easy sipper — one flags it as a touch flat, almost "watery" at this strength — so temper expectations of a big funk bomb.

How does Long Pond Plantation The Collector No. 1 taste?
Summarized by AI from 17 community reviews.
Easy, fruit-forward aged Jamaican sipper Most find it a relaxed, fruit-forward Long Pond — well-balanced nose, gentle palate. The recurring gripe is it can read a little thin and low on power for the age.

Perfectly balanced aromas on the nose. The tropical aging of 17 years brings a great harmony of tropical fruits and pleasantly woody tones. On the palate relaxed, without being boring. Great easy sipper!

The nose fruity fresh light esters vanilla banana mango and herbal notes. On the palate at first somewhat flat almost watery... also here then pineapple mango banana some vanilla light wood. Somehow to me a bit too flat and watery.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
10.07.2020 A nice tasting meeting new and old friends. Notes Medium dark in colour, light wood, faint smoke, banana, overripe, source, light nutts, prunes. Palate Warm, light roasted wood, banana, ginger, light caramel, dried fruit, light anise, faint orange. Finish Medium long, wood, fruity, warm, orange, spice, faint chocolate and caramel.
Review by Christopher Morrison
Caramel, mango, nougat. Very indulgent, lacks power in my taste but very good.
Review by Filip Šikula
It's almost unbelievable how full this rum is, considering the relatively low ABV. The nose is absolutely brilliantly balanced, full of fruit. The tropical aging really left its mark here and the taste offers a solid dose of fruit with a pleasantly long finish.
Review by Carlitooo
A light Jamaican, alcohol not perfectly integrated, but still relaxed to drink.
