Very good Long Pond profile but not so expressive and Extreme afterall.

Good, but a little boring. In my opinion, it's not one of the long ponds that you have to try.

Classic Long Pond in the nose, the 60% abv is also noticeable. In mouth it‘s more rounder, delicious, fruitier. Really hamonious mix of aging, wood, alcohol. Finish is in line with other long ponds. Nonetheless I missed something (non ester?!?). The alcohol is integrated very well. Price tag is too high.

Remindes me of a (high quality) column still rum tbh. It is definitely a high quality, well aged rum. However, the profile is very bourbon cask forward andro me just not very exciting overall.

I just returned from a luxury tasting I was invited to and I'm actually a bit tipsy this time because all the rums had a high proof. This tasting was Plantation extreme only and this is the first one of the six. This is a great one from Plantation and with its 24 years you get what you expect. I would have liked a bit more fruit and funk though. The longer you leave it in the glass the fruitier it gets. Price to quality is very good.

The nose is extremely fruity (not at all alcoholic). It's a far cry from the very expressive High ester, closer to the gourmet noses of Foursquare. There's banana, orange and spice all over the place. Attractive. On the palate, it's in line with the nose, rich and powerful with fruit. The fruit salad intensifies as the tasting progresses, with gourmet coconut as the final firework. It's clearly a great success, with a gourmet profile that's very accessible and easy to drink despite the 60%. A rum for pleasure tasting!

👃 Alcool vif au nez, colle à papier peint bien présente, légers esters. Les hauts degrés boostent bien les arômes ; boisé vanillé et épicé, fût de chêne évident, torréfaction du Bourbon (noix de coco) et fruits secs du Cognac. Puis, une ribambelle de fruits, de très mûrs à confits, fruits tropicaux, fruits rouges et un peu de tarte maison aux quetsches. 😋 Je trouve la morsure de l'alcool assez dérangeante. Dommage. Beaucoup d'essence de bois, fût, torréfaction (coco, chocolat, noix, caramel brûlé, sirop contre la toux), épices (vanille, poivre rouge), et les fruits tropicaux et secs en arrière plan. ⛳ Chaude, vive (alcool vraiment présent), piquante, beaucoup de fût brûlé, épicée, pimentée. Puis, un lit de fruits tropicaux et secs, du caramel brûlé et du chocolat noir. Étonnement, la finale n'est pas si longue que ça. La bouche est asséchante et rêche. 💡 On continue la série Plantation extrême N°4 après les 2 ITP. Celui-ci est sensé être un peu moins estérisé mais je ressent peu de différence. Le fût de Cognac arrondi les angles. Cela en fait un Rum de très bonne qualité, doux, fruité, boisé, facile à boire mais pas si extrême que ça. Un joli Rum de collection mais il existe des Long Pond bien plus aromatique et intense à ce jour.

Woody, burnt aromas predominate on the nose. There is also (port) wine and dried fruit. The taste drops off somewhat. Wood and dried fruit here too. The alcohol is rather moderately integrated. Unfortunately, the overall impression is not completely convincing.
