Plantation The Collector No.1 18yo 43% 700ml is a highly sought-after rum blend from the esteemed Long Pond distillery in Jamaica, brought to you by the iconic Plantation brand. This exclusive release, limited to only 389 bottles, aims to recreate the profile of the legendary Wray & Nephew 15YO rum. Despite not perfectly matching the lofty expectations, it still offers a complex and nuanced drinking experience. The aroma is rich with layers of leather, grilled pineapple, oak, caramel, and berries. The palate reveals a mix of sweet red berries, mango, sour esters, unripe oranges, and the dry notes of wood, vanilla, and leather. The texture is creamy, yet the 43% ABV dilution is noticeable. The finish is relatively short, leaving subtle impressions of vanilla, red berries, sour cherries, caramel, chocolate, and coffee. While some connoisseurs find it slightly thin and unspectacular, it still showcases the unique character of Long Pond distillery and remains an enjoyable rum.

As a reviewer, I find Plantation The Collector No.1 18yo to be a delightful yet imperfect rum. It offers a complex array of flavors that any rum enthusiast would appreciate, though it slightly misses the mark compared to other high-end selections from Plantation. The creamy texture and nuanced taste make it worth trying, but the 43% ABV dilution affects its full potential. Nevertheless, it remains a commendable tribute to the Long Pond distillery's craftsmanship and a valuable addition to any rum collection.
