Plantation just got their hands on some of the most well-aged stocks of Jamaican pot still rum anywhere. We first got a glimpse of this with this Extreme releases, two different bottlings of 22-year-old Long Pond rum, bottled without additives and at cask strength. For most though, those were out of reach, due both to price and limited availability.

This Jamaica 1996 is a blend of those same stocks of ultra old rum that we lusted after when it was released as part of the Extreme series, just slightly reduced to 49.1% abv, and aged two years further for a total of 24 years; 6 months of that in ex-Rye casks from the New York Distilling Company (the initial aging was in traditional ex-bourbon casks, followed by Plantation's signature ex-cognac aging for another 2 years). Also, like the Extreme edition, this is bottled without any added sugar (or "dosage", to borrow a Champagne and Cognac term as Plantation does), a welcome element that we are happily seeing more and more from Plantation, particularly with the older vintage releases.
