How does this rum taste?
Plantation Jamaica 2009 (Excellence Rhum) VRW is an impressive offering from the Long Pond distillery, bottled by Maison Ferrand. Distilled in 2009 using molasses and a pot still, then aged for over 12 years, this cask-strength rum embodies Jamaican complexity with a 53% ABV. Notably, the limited release enhances its exclusivity with only 102 bottles available. Aromatically, it features prominent vanilla, tropical fruits, and a woody backbone. On the palate, woody notes dominate, complemented by tropical fruit, esters, spiciness, and citrus. Users note its fruity intensity and good value, although some critique the palate's perceived flatness and moderate alcohol presence. A noteworthy pick for rum enthusiasts.

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.
