Plantation Jamaica 2009 (Excellence Rhum) VRW is an impressive offering from the Long Pond distillery, bottled by Maison Ferrand.

Notably, the limited release enhances its exclusivity with only 102 bottles available. Aromatically, it features prominent vanilla, tropical fruits, and a woody backbone.

"Schöner solider long pond. Das orangewein hat recht wenig Einfluss genommen. Dafür kommt er schön fruchtig und intensiv für diese geringe Alkoholstärke. Preis Leistung passt. Klare Kaufempfehlung/trinkemofehlung"

"Had the Sedunum bottling. The nose is subtle even if diverse nuances are there. The Orange Wine finish makes the rum very round. Even if I have the impression that the Jamaican notes thereby get into the background. Good trib strength.Good rum that brings some layers of flavor. Fun to drink. Very good PLV."

"While nose and finish are pleasing, the experience on the palate is rather flat and alcohol forwards. Does not meet my expectations for a VRW unfortunately."

"#4213 Looking at the price tag you get a good rum at a decent price. Fruity with nice spices and roasted wood notes. The esters are there but just not a lot of them. The empty glass is nice and has some chocolate and very light licorice."
