Habitation Velier Long Pond White STC❤️E 2018

Yet another retaste and here I also stick to my score 😊 This is a surprisingly good white unaged rum. Looking at the price tag you get a lot for your money. Very fruity with an intense nose and starting palate. The chemical factory like my friend calls it is there and the finish is very long and warm. Draws nice curtains in the glass and the empty glass is very nice even after hours.

Yummy🤤 Very classic fruity(full fruit basket from banana, citrus, overripe fruits) and funky estery rum! The alcohol is integrated well. I can recommend this for mixing! It can improve every cocktail 🤤

We are here in the presence of a Jamaican well fruity (Banana / Pineapple / Mango / Pear / Peach / Green apple acid) all these fruits are well sweetened and candied what gives an impression of candy to this rum.as any Jamaican who respects itself it is obviously empyreumatic (Rubber / Smoke / Metallic / Tar) but also greedy (Cream / Crème brûlé / Fruit cake). The spices accompany us all along (Nutmeg / Cinnamon / Vanilla / Liquorice / Clove) with also a small vegetable side that ends on a small olive brine in the end. It is really great!

On the nose, a fruity sweet note predominates, the alcohol is gently perceptible. A little vanilla also comes through.Surprising then on the palate: first a sweetness, then briefly something fruity and finally dominant a tart pleasant spice!The alcohol is perfectly integrated! That has what!In the finish, the spice remains most noticeable!Very tasty!

What a pleasure it is to open this bottle and immediately smell that distinctive aroma. It's strong, rotten, esterized, peppery and so on. The taste doesn't disappoint. It's intense. Young and lively. Everything is too present in this rum, and that makes it incredible. Long Pond is definitely my thing. Edit: tested and validated in an overboosted mai-tai! Re-edit: tested during a 5l barrel ageing experiment. This white is excellent. Edit: finished for this one. Impressions confirmed with each tasting.

Un bon long pond bien funky . Nez : des Esters/ solvant + fruit très murs + une très légère sauce barbecue. Bouche : un goût intense avec encore des Esters + banane et ananas très murs + un peu de sucre Finale : frais et doux , minéral et très léger fumé.

Really interesting to have an unaged STCE in front of the nose. In direct comparison to a 13yo, this one almost has something of a white Agricole (similar to the Renegade pre-casks). The esters don't have the upper hand yet.Nose: fruity, fresh and sweet, herbal. Initially the esters are there with a pleasant vinegar note. Then immediately green apple with mild lemon and sweetish fruit, perhaps mirabelle or banana? Has hints of an Obstler. Behind that, spicy-sweet honey and a restrained blend of anise and chamomile. Palate: intense with an interesting flavor arc. Warm at first then salty-mineral bitter, very dry. Transitioning to light esters with some fruit, sugar cane sweetness, then green, with saffron and chamomile.Barrel cleaning would do it good.

Very representative of Jamaica, with a lot of fruity, vegetal esters and smoky notes. A nice long finish.

Beautiful unaged Long Pond. Also good to drink neat.

A very interesting unaged Long Pond. In addition to the typical Jamaican notes (esters and fruit), for me it also has something of a good Agricole. An interesting and very successful combination. The alcohol is excellently integrated, especially considering that it has not been matured in barrels.

Voňavý banán, ovoce, vanilka, smetana, techničnost, kůže. Nevtíravá vůně, moc fajn. První doušek bez rozlihování celkem masakr, ale pak už je to jamajská funky jízda. Přezrálé ovoce, techničnost, kůže. Tohle by mohlo být zajímavé mít třeba v 55%.

I like the nose and the beginning of the mouth but the finish on the metal is rather unpleasant.

The STCE Mark is just super tasty - also in this unaged bottling. Tastes also pure but is a grenade in the daiquiri.

Super fruity, fresh and funky!For me a top candidate for a delicious daiquiri!

With unaged rums, you immediately notice the quality, and this one is really first class. Fruity Jamaican with a lot of funk and very well-integrated alcohol. You should try it, especially because only then can you really appreciate what maturing does to the rum.
