Long Pond Plantation Jamaica (Sélection Bar 1802) 1998
Highly praised as a balanced, easy Long Pond with fruity esters and smooth wood spice. Not the loudest or longest, but a very enjoyable, approachable Jamaica with good value.
Fans of Jamaican rum who prefer a softer, fruit-forward profile and want an accessible Long Pond with light funk rather than a heavy, high-ester bruiser.

Uncomplicated Long Pond. Likes the aromas of green pepper and the fresh cedar of a new cigar box on the palate. But also lots of "green" notes on the palate. It tasted good, I wouldn't need a bottle.
Wie bei Plantation keine große Erwartungen gehabt bei der Angabe bei einem ABV von 49,4%. Aber diese Abfüllung ist überraschend gut. Viel Klebstoff und Ester und kräftig, was so nicht zu vermuten war. Der Abgang ist aber ein wenig kurz.
Initially slightly sticky on the nose, then dried fruit, spices and caramel. Very accessible, even for beginners. A little flat on the palate, short finish. More ABV would be good! But I found it quite appealing
An old Long Pond bottled by Plantation. The nose reveals beautiful notes of ripe exotic fruits before letting sweet spices, marzipan, medicinal and phenolic notes (glue, solvents and esters) speak. The green apple is felt after aeration. A nice fruity and balanced profile overall. The attack in mouth is light, fruity and spicy. Citrus fruits (lemon peel), some bitterness, spicy notes and a touch of freshness and roasted flavors are felt. Some phenolic notes come in and recall Jamaican funk in small doses. The whole is very smooth and easy to drink. The finish, which lacks length, recalls citrus, exotic fruits, phenolic glue notes, spices, wood and the bitterness already mentioned earlier. Clearly not a revolutionary profile (especially for the age count) and may lack expression, but an approachable Long Pond, especially for beginners in the world of Jamaica. The price/performance ratio is not bad either.
