Long Pond Plantation Extreme No. 4 CRV 1996
Don't expect the wild funk the "Extreme" name promises — this Long Pond is barely esterified. Instead you get a rich, gourmand glass: mango, coconut crème brûlée, dried fruit and dark chocolate, with the bourbon and cognac casks rounding every edge. Fans of Foursquare-style fruitiness will feel at home. The catch: at 60% the wood and alcohol turn a bit sharp for some.
The community says- Ripe tropical fruit
- Well-integrated alcohol
- But: Almost no funk

How does Long Pond Plantation Extreme No. 4 CRV 1996 taste?
Aggregated from 30 community reviews.
Fruity, cask-forward old Long Pond, low funk Loved as a smooth, fruity old Long Pond, but many feel misled by "Extreme" — the ester and funk are almost absent, and some find the wood and heat sharp.

Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
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!
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
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.
Review by Sebastian Kornett
In der Nase Jamaika. Am Geschmack sehr kräftig und würzig. Abgang schön lang und ausgewogen. Schöner Long Pond aber für den Preis würde ich mir den nicht kaufen. Da gibt es welche die Kosten die Hälfte oder ein Drittel und machen genauso viel Freude.
Review by Galli33
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.
Review by Maxence
Very good Long Pond profile but not so expressive and Extreme afterall.
Review by DomM
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.
Review by tojo
An der Nase überwiegen holzige, verbrannte Aromen. Hinzu kommt (Port)wein und Trockenfrüchte. Im Geschmack fällt er etwas ab. Auch hier Holz und Trockenfrüchte. Der Alkohol ist eher mäßig eingebunden. Im Gesamteindruck kann er leider nicht komplett überzeugen.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
sehr leckerer und entspannter Long Pond mit quasi Null Estern... Alkohol gut eingebunden, nicht zu viel Holz nach 24y... Kokos Crème brûlée, dazu vollreife samtige Mango und Passionsfrucht, Traube und Nelke/Zimt, ansatzweise ähnlich zu einem sehr guten alten Cognac. allerdings in Anbetracht des Preises auch etwas heftig für einen alten Long Pond, da erwarte ich mehr ester und mehr Funk. alles in allem aber dennoch sehr, sehr lecker!🤤
Review by Speedflo
In der Nase sehr aromatisch mit typischen Lomg Pond Holz, Fass, Leder, Dunkle Schokoladen Noten und Fruchtig. Im Mund jedoch eher endtäuschend. Sehr wässerig, kurzatmig und zu wenig Wums. Bin froh keine ganze Flasche gekauft zu haben.
Review by Christopher Morrison
Très très très bourbon, le jam est perdu c’est dommage, ça reste gourmand et un très bon bourbon/ profil barbadien, vanille coco à foison, petite note cacao
Review by Johannes
Schon gut, aber etwas langweilig. Gehört meines Erachtens nicht zu den Long Ponds, die man probiert haben muss.
