“**Comprehensive Review of Plantation Saint Lucia (LMDW) Rum** The Plantation Saint Lucia (LMDW) Rum, distilled in 2010 and aged for 11 years, is a delightful expression of Saint Lucia Distillers' craftsmanship, selected and bottled by Maison Ferrand. Sporting an ABV of 53.2% and limited to just 312 bottles, it has managed to garner a generally positive response among rum enthusiasts. **Nose:** The aroma is captivating and fruity, with notes of orange, citrus, and a hint of menthol, complemented by subtle floral and grassy undertones. Some users compared its inviting nose to that of apricot, caramel, and mango, accentuated by a light leather and a touch of playdough. **Palate:** Upon tasting, the rum presents an initial sharpness that quickly mellows into an oiliness. It bursts with fruity flavors, alongside hints of pepper, ginger, mint, and an intriguing combination of dried herbs like sage and thyme. There is also a subtle presence of smoke, giving it depth, though some felt it could benefit from a more pronounced fruity profile. **Finish:** The finish is medium to long, with lingering notes of wood, spices, and citrus. It maintains a balance of sweetness and slight saltiness, with a gentle touch of chocolate and licorice, making for a satisfying and harmonious conclusion. **Overall Impressions:** This rum is generally seen as rounded and leaning towards the fruity side. It is noted for being smooth and accessible, with well-integrated alcohol. However, for some, it lacked the depth and fruitiness expected from a high-end rum. Despite this, it holds its own with a unique, complex flavor profile that appeals especially to those who enjoy a balanced mix of fruit and spice. **Rating:** 8.2/10 **Takeaway:** "Fruity, well-rounded, and complex with balanced spice notes.”

The Plantation Saint Lucia 2010 (LMDW) by Maison Ferrand offers a refined tasting experience. Users praise its fruity aroma with notes of menthol, bitter orange, and subtle hints of leather and olive. On the palate, it reveals complex flavors of licorice, roasted elements, and herbal nuances, complemented by a hint of banana and medicinal tones. Although some wished for a longer finish, the rum's balanced profile, featuring a blend of fruitiness and oak, received consistent appreciation. Its smooth, slightly peppery character and accessible nature make it a standout in the Saint Lucia rum category. This limited edition with only 312 bottles is recognized for its distinctive and harmonious flavor profile, perfect for rum enthusiasts seeking an extraordinary experience.

“Good St. Lucia tradition rum, both three bottles of the LMDW-selected are fascinating, I think this one and the MMW 1994 was underestimated.”

“Der Saint Lucia ist eher auf der fruchtigen Seite. Im Grunde genommen hat er aber auch alle Aromen, die man erwartet. Schön rund. Dennoch aber nicht wirklich ein Highlight, da hatte ich jetzt schon bessere im Glas.”

“On the nose still relatively fruity, in the taste then primarily roasted aromas, slightly salty, a little woody pear, spices such as ginger, green pepper and nutmeg, a lot of herbs such as sage and thyme and overall I lack the fruitiness here and he is also too woody and dry for me. For this he gets in the finish again a nice funky note with purely what has given him a few points more.”

“Verkostet gegen den Plantation St. Lucia 2007 the Nectar (rx11185) Obwohl der Nectar mehr % hat (für mich immer ein sehr wichtiges Merkmal) schneidet der LMDW für mich hier besser ab. Der Nectar punktet zwar mit schönen dreckigen Noten an Gaumen und Abgang hat aber eine stechende Alkoholnote an der Nase und zwickt auch am Gaumen etwas. Der LMdW ist runder und stimmiger und allgemein ein St. Lucia der Fruchtigeren Seite. Wenn er auch etwas mehr ABV veryragen könnte.”

“Plantation Saint Lucia 2010 Conquest 53.2%, 312 bottles : The nose is immediately very seductive, reminding me of the Single Cask Saint Lucia that was available at Château de Bonbonnet. Sweet, fruity, unctuous. After opening, it's even fruitier. The attack is a little lively, then it becomes oily. It reminds me of apricot, caramel and mango. It's good and very greedy. The finish is very long, yet soft and greedy. Nice, good bottle. Battle Plantation Single Cask 2021 Saint Lucia 2010 LMDW Conquest 53.2% VS Saint Lucia 2007 The Nectar 60.2% : The 2007 is a column still, while the 2010 is a pot still. One week of fermentation for both, 156 g/HL AA of esters for the former, 160 for the latter, 545 g/HL AA of volatile compounds for the former, 771 for the latter. It's hard to tell them apart, as they're so similar on the nose and palate. The same markers are present, and the column still is no match for the pot still. On the contrary, the extra 7 degrees make the 2007 a little deeper. I wouldn't pick a winner, but if someone new to Saint Lucia had to taste one of the two, I'd go for the 2010, a little more accessible, while for someone already initiated, it would be the 2007. A close match, but both very good juices.”
