Long Pond & Clarendon Plantation Jamaica 2002
Most people land in the same happy place with this one: a soft, fruity Jamaican that's easy to like. Nose is all ester and tropical fruit, with banana that jumps out and pineapple on the palate. Rounded and gentle at 42%. A few call it a "no-brainer" easy start to the evening — but give it 20 minutes to open, and know the sugar shows.

How does Long Pond & Clarendon Plantation Jamaica 2002 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Soft, fruity gateway Jamaican, lightly sweetened A gentle, fruity gateway Jamaican most tasters enjoy. Banana, ester and tropical fruit in a rounded body — though several note a touch too much sugar. Let it breathe first.

Great buket. Great taste. Unfortunately, a tacken too much sugar inside. But very round and coherent. Beautiful Jamaican tones

Gentle Jamaican
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
A very nice vintage rum from Jamaica that has all the traits of a Jamaican rum. A very good bottle where you at the end of the palate get that it was finished on cognac casks. Leave to rest for a while before giving it a go. Price to quality is very good.
Review by Timo Groeger
Bottle Market Bremen October 2024. Here's a really nice Plantation. The nose is very fruity and because it's Jamaica, you can also easily recognize the ester. The palate is also full of esters and tropical fruits. Delicious.
Review by F.L.O.
No-brainer for a relaxed start to the evening! Typical Jamaican ester fruits on the nose and in the mouth. The weak percentages also fit quite well for a relaxed start. But it needs to breathe for at least 20 minutes before it starts.
Review by Mathieu C.
Jamaican markers present but very discreet C Discreet aromas overall Very round and soft on the palate Pleasant A good introduction to Jamaican wines
Review by Pavel Ungr, RumRock
Vintage 2002. I rate it 7.3 out of 10, a solid rum that doesn't disappoint.
