Back on a rum from the other Trelawny <\/strong>distillery, Long Pond<\/strong> and its very aromatic rums. Well not quite Long Pond but rather a rum distilled there but bottled by Plantation <\/strong>through its \u00ab\u00a0Extremes\u00a0\u00bb range. Collection that highlights rums at their initial levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plantation therefore gratifies us with a 21 year old rum in tropical climate followed, as usual, by a year in Ferrand in a cognac barrel \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

21 years tropical? Yes my good sir, this more than most likely coming from the stocks of Jamaican rums sleeping in the cellars of Wray and Nephew<\/strong>. Stock which was used mainly for the assemblies of the distillery belonging to Appleton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until the day we <\/a>asked Joy Spence<\/strong>, the master blender of Appleton, to choose the barrels which she had no use in order to sell them \u2026 Which doesn’t mean bad barrel, but just those which were not used especially in the various assemblies of the group \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rum which occupies us this evening is of mark HJC <\/strong>and will have been distilled in 1996 <\/strong>on the still John Dore<\/strong> of the distillery. At 56.2%<\/strong>, this spirit will not have been diluted (?) And will be bottled 2,121<\/strong> times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note the very nice design made by a Jamaican artist, a certain Troydel Wallace<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My friend Cyril <\/strong>from durhum.com offered us a nice visit to the district here <\/a>for those who are interested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
