How does this rum taste?
Balanced Jamaican–rye crossover sipper
If you like balanced Long Pond or whisky-finished rums, this works well: fruit and classic Jamaica are there, but the rye cask adds spice and dryness without overwhelming most palates.
Those chasing high-ester funk bombs, cask-strength intensity, or who dislike grainy/rye notes and prominent oak influence in their Jamaican rum.

Wauw. De neus omg 🤤 Maar gewoonweg op alle fronten top! Whiskey vat invloed pas achteraan op de tong merkbaar met wat metalig-chemische verbintenissen. Niet overheersend en een meerwaarde in een mooie balans. Had de fles al even in mijn collectie en nu een sample. Nu weet ik zeker dat de fles open gaat op een dag! ❤️
Danke zuerst an SaibotZtar für den Mega Plantation Split. Mich hat diese Abfüllung nicht ganz so abgeholt leider. Das Finish mit dem Rye Whisky ist zwar nicht super dominierend aber für einen Whisky Hasser wie mich doch etwas zu viel. Mit Cola als Mixer ging es dann schon. Aber leider trotzallem nicht mein Fall.
Im heutigen Türchen wieder ein gelungener Tropfen.. Bei der Blindverkostung lag ich relativ weit daneben. Zwar hat der Alkoholgehalt den ich schätze gut gepasst. jamaica hätte ich jedoch nie getippt. Wahrscheinlich sinnig komplexe holzaromen. Sehr feiner Geschmack. gefällt mir
A classic Long Pond from Plantation. The nose is rather shy and reserved, the exotic fruits are discreet, as well as the phenolic notes. Some spices and notes of wood, burnt sugar and toffee come to decorate this rather simplistic and summary profile. We have a firm and phenolic side and some tropical fruits, but it is especially the spices and the wood which arrive in the background which are finally the most noticed. There is a slight smoky side that comes in after a bit of aeration, but the rum remains overall very light and lacks intensity and depth. The finish is short, with some bitter notes, cinnamon, chilli, nuts and caramel that accompany the fruits and a light smoky veil.A rather dull rum that loses too much of its potential with dilution. It would have been interesting to have a version with about ten degrees more. The quality / price ratio is moreover rather debatable.
