Long Pond Plantation Extreme No. 3 HJC 1996
Highly praised Long Pond: intense nose, dry woody and spicy palate, deep tropical fruit and esters with a very long, characterful finish. A benchmark Plantation Extreme for many members.
Seasoned Jamaican fans who enjoy drier, woody, high‑proof Long Ponds with dirty lacquer/solvent notes, complex spice and long finishes rather than pure fruit bombs.

How does this rum taste?
Dry, funky Long Pond heavyweight
If you enjoy serious Long Pond or Hampden but don’t mind extra wood and dryness, this is a top‑tier Plantation Extreme that trades some fruitiness for depth, funk and length.
Newcomers, those sensitive to 56% ABV, or drinkers who prefer sweeter, softer, fruit‑forward Jamaicans with less wood and medicinal/technical notes.

Still one of my favorite long ponds.
Un nez avec de l’alcool, des fruits tropicaux et des fruits jaunes, du bois, du cuir et du vieux bois verni. L’alcool est assez marqué en première bouche, puis tous les arômes envahissent la cavité buccale. La finale est longue et élégante. Avec un côté épicé (poivré) marqué mais sans dominer. On sent le fût de cognac à la fin. Pour moi meilleur que son frère, le RX3104.
Thanks first of all to Leo. Always nice to be able to talk you into something. A very great Long Pond in my opinion. I like it more than well. The alcohol is also well integrated. For me now one of the best Long Ponds I've had in a glass. Great that I was allowed to try it. I wish Planteray (formerly Plantation) would bottle more things like this.
Unfassbar tolle Nase nach karamellisierter Banane mit ordentlich viel Ceylon Zimt! Geschmacklich dann eher trocken, sehr holzig, nach verbranntem Zimt, getrockneten Banane und Ananas chips, Piment, Sternanis und Nelke, sowie schwarzem Pfeffer. Durchaus sehr lecker aber hab ich mir etwas mehr von erhofft!😃 ist halt eher ein easy sipper und etwas "dünn" und weniger auf die Fresse...😃
