Plantation Extreme No. 3 ITP

I just picken up this bottle today and put in an order for the HJC and can't wait to get that one for my collection. This ITP is a very well balanced 22 year old Jamaican rum from Long Pond. You may want to add a few drops of water to release the full potential of this rum. Though a bit expensive I still think the cost matches the quality.

No big surprise, the typical solvents of Jamaica offer themselves to the nose immediately. But the tropical fruit salad makes its appearance very quickly. The nose is very elegant with a touch of honey very greedy. The whole is very pleasant with scents of light spices and woody. In mouth, it is in the frame of the nose, very fruity, again on tropical fruits and strawberry. It's very light and balanced with a soft woody taste. The few 50% are perfectly melted. It is greedy and drinks like whey. Nice length more on the coffee.

WoW Really nice rum from Long Pond. Price to value is actually… out of control. I enjoyed this a lot. Very fruity esters, just right🤤 Finish is very long fruity and oaky(barrel, cocoa)

Magnifique salade de fruits tropicaux parfaitement équilibrée avec le boisé légèrement épicé. Finale longue sur le torréfié 🙂🙂

I love jamaican rums and i also love cognacs so i'm in heaven! I advise to try it also with a dash of water. Estery and even petroly, spicy with all the fruits shining bright and long thanks to the cognac finish.

Extrém je prostě vždycky extrém, a ač mi jich ještě hodně zbývá, zatím jsem byl vždy nadšen. Nejinak je to u tohoto long pondu, kde se jedná o nádherný vyvážený kousek, intenzivní ovoce a dub. Nádherné.

I like it more and more with every tasting.

Very enjoyable sipper. As a long pond fan this hits well my prefernces. It's very fruity, sweet with a dark chocolate note,.some funk not too much, a bit flowery. Alcohol barely noticeable. only downside for me is a finish which is not too long. Thanks Martin S for the sample.

A lovely Long Pond with a beautiful aromatic palette. The nose starts with light esters and glue, then reveals a lovely basket of tropical fruits (banana, pineapple, citrus) that scent the nostrils. The profile then becomes more caramelized, spicy, woody and buttery, gaining in sweetness but losing a little intensity. The palate returns to pretty exotic fruits (mango, papaya, banana), accompanied by spices (cinnamon, vanilla), caramel and a woodiness that has a slight influence on the final finish. The medicinal touch reveals prominent esters that offer a complex, elegant profile, with a gourmet, creamy mouthfeel. The alcohol is well integrated. The finish is long but much more marked by the cask: cognac, spices, licorice, dark chocolate and raisin contrast with the exuberance of exotic fruit and medicinal funk. The profile is drier but still fragrant. A Long Pond not as extreme as the series suggests, but rather refined, aesthetic and very well mastered.

Tasted at the Whisky & Rum festival, the 27th of october, 2023. Plantation had a stand, and had some goodies behind the table! Plenty of flavours due to a rather high estercount, with notes of ripe fruits, oak and molasses

Ein Long Pond der überraschend rund ist und mir persönlich doch sehr gut gefällt. Eine schöne Balance aus fruchtigen Noten und der Holzigkeit des Fasses. Über den Preis der Flasche lässt sich sicherlich streiten.

Im "Rum House Caribbean" probiert. Fantastischer ITP von Plantation mit beste funky Esternoten, Getrocknete karibische Frücht in der Nase und im Mund. Die sehr i tensiven Geschmäcker auch nach diversen Gewürzen unterstreichen die tropische Lagerung.

Tropically aged low ester LP with a lot of fruit on the nose. In addition to the typical banana in various stages of ripeness, peach, grape, red fruit and dried fruit. A hint of mango on the palate. Also on the palate: some astringency, tannins and bitterness - but still pleasant and in a nice combination with the fruity cognac finish. I Like.
