The Plantation 1995 Long Pond ITP Jamaica Extreme No.4 25yo 62.6% 700ml is a remarkable addition to the esteemed Plantation Extreme Series. Distilled at the renowned Long Pond distillery in Jamaica, this rum offers a rare and distinguished experience, with only 608 bottles available. It has undergone an extensive aging process, spending 23 years in ex-Bourbon barrels in Jamaica followed by 2 years in ex-Cognac casks at the Château de Bonbonnet, which adds layers of complexity to its profile. On the nose, anticipate a bouquet of tropical fruits like pineapple and mango, complemented by woody and vanilla notes, and a hint of solvents. The palate reveals an intense medley of pineapple and cherry, supported by woody and cognac flavors. The finish is persistently woody with traces of vanilla, fruity nuances, and a touch of leather. While some may find that the taste doesn't fully meet the expectations set by its aromatic promise, this rum still provides a rich and memorable tasting experience. This 25-year-old gem showcases the expertise of the Long Pond distillery and the masterful craft of Plantation. Its refined and nuanced profile makes it a standout choice for rum enthusiasts seeking a high-quality, authentic Jamaican spirit. Whether enjoyed neat or in a sophisticated cocktail, the Plantation 1995 Long Pond ITP Jamaica Extreme No.4 is a testament to the artistry and dedication that goes into its production.

After a month without alcohol, I decided to commence my birthday weekend with something truly special. The Plantation 1995 Long Pond ITP Jamaica Extreme No.4 delivered a noteworthy experience, although I have tasted more extraordinary rums before. The aroma suggested an intense and promising profile with its tropical fruit and woody notes, but the taste, dominated by dryness and woodiness, didn’t entirely fulfill that expectation. Nonetheless, it stands out as a refined and elegant Jamaican rum worth trying.
