Plantation Long Pond Jamaica 1999 23yo 76% 700ml is a uniquely aged rum, distilled in 1999 at the renowned Long Pond distillery in Jamaica and matured for an impressive 23 years. This special release features an exceedingly high ABV of 76%, making it one of the most potent offerings from Plantation Rum. Limited to just 298 bottles, it was specially selected for Salon du Rhum in Belgium. The rum’s maturation journey is notable, spending 19 years in ex-bourbon barrels in Jamaica before undergoing an additional 4 years of aging in ex-cognac Ferrand barrels in Europe. Upon pouring, the rum presents a bright gold or amber hue, indicative of its prolonged aging. The nose is initially intense, but as the initial alcohol boost dissipates, a rich tapestry of aromas unfolds. Expect the fragrance of blood orange, currants, raisins, and overripe tropical fruits like mango and pineapple, intertwined with hints of cocoa powder, toffee, and vanilla. The influence of the cognac barrel aging imbues the rum with delicate notes of wood, mild toastiness, and a touch of malt. On the palate, Plantation Long Pond Jamaica 1999 23yo delivers a bold and complex flavor profile. The initial sip reveals a burst of tropical fruitiness with pineapple, sour cherries, and cassis, balanced by the spiciness of esters and a subtle bitterness. As the flavors develop, notes of green apple, woody undertones, and light licorice emerge, leading to a luscious finish. The finish is incredibly long and persistent, characterized by lingering tropical fruit, rich chocolate, oak, and a hint of smoky leather. This rum is a testament to Plantation's dedication to creating expertly crafted, high-proof spirits that are both complex and harmonious. The distinctive finishing in a cognac barrel enhances the rum's depth, making it a truly exceptional experience that honors the best of Jamaican distilling traditions and European aging techniques. Cheers to a remarkable rum that stands out in any collection!
