Long Pond Plantation Finished in 10 Générations cask STC❤️E

 A real "board" - aromatically very dense with lots of fresh fruit from a melange of tropical and citrus fruits that can hardly be decomposed in the last detail paired with bacony roasted aromas, spices, wood influences and some caramel sweetness. Extremely intense, but in this force also absolutely impressive.

 This is the oldest STC❤️E I've ever had in a glass.... And it's really good! Not quite as fruity on the palate as the younger representatives, especially the NRJ, but still quite complex. The barrel is clearly evident, but still fits. The alcohol is very well integrated.

 Absolute beast in the most possible way. For me one of the top bottlings by plantation so far.

 Super intense long pond. Alcohol well integrated. I like it very much :) Edit: Tasted again with the 2005/2010 Cambridge NRJ bottlings. The Plantation has a completely different profile for me. Much more dirty aromas, petrol, some mint, tobacco. Slightly astringent on the palate. Reminds me a little of the Tamosi Long Pond. I still like it very much!

 A fabulous Long Pond that shows a remarkable delicacy for its voltage. The nose lets tropical fruits and phenolic notes express themselves, then let the floral and vegetal notes melt with pastry aromas, spices and a little patinated wood. A very elegant nose. On the palate, we find the same array of flavors with lots of spices and chocolate, yellow fruits and chili pepper as well. The alcohol is perfectly integrated, the whole rests on a remarkable balance of flavors and an infinite roundness. The finish is endless on the same flavors, all in control and elegance. An intense, complex, sensual rum that has everything going for it.

 I would spontaneously say that this is the best STC♥️E I've had in my glass so far 😃 Even better than the Velier 2005 and 2010, perhaps not an entirely fair comparison. The complexity is more comparable to the 95/97 Fine Dram Clarendons... there's an incredible amount to discover on the nose, lots of dried fruit (raisins, figs), cream candy, baking mix, chewing tobacco, also a little herbal in the direction of aniseed and fennel, and subtly the typical LP gravy. Incredibly smooth on the palate for the 69% I'm thrilled!

 Very horny bottling.Special notes, which one of Long Pond STC🖤E not so familiar. The high ABV is noticeable, but well integrated. Certainly not a rum for every day.87/100

 The NRJ Cambridge rums are among my absolute favorites - of course I had to try this one. First of all: it tastes completely different. Less vanilla, curry leaf, tar, wax and fruit ... but (of course, after time) the astringent wood-water notes of long tropically matured rums. Roughly how you would imagine a blend of Cambridge and 95 EMB (in a positive sense). It's only after the first "oh, that's amazing" that you slowly recognize the similarities. Great rum!

 Alcohol well integrated... In the nose beautiful fruity slightly sweet and woody everything in (for me great harmony) .On the palate it opens beautifully and fills the mouth. Wonderfully fruity, esters and wood ... Perfect for a high end Mai Tai ...

 Zuerst mal ein dickes Dankeschön an SaibotZtar für diesen geilen Megasplit von Plantation mit einigen wirklichen mittlerweile raren Abfüllungen. Bin ehrlich stark begeistert, was doch so Plantation jetzt Plantery kann.

 Red fruit, slightly fleshy. Great Plantation Single Cask.

 The starter to a great evening. If a tasting starts like this, where should it end? I'm still very inexperienced with Long Pond, but this one is quite something. I found the spices particularly exciting. Not too woody for 29 years and the alcohol is very well integrated. I'd love more of this.

 Richtig guter Rum!

 I am impressed! Is that tropically aged? A really complex Long Pond with tropical notes!

 This is the best Jamaica Plantation and the best STCE Long Pond !
