Long Pond S.B.S Jamaica (Single Origin Rum) TECA

Loving long ponds, I decided to purchase a white. I expected more marzipan, which I love in its aged counterpart, however it is a remarkable white. Complex, strong in the solvent part, but never overdone. Olive and esters on the nose. In the mouth solvents and a fleeting roasted/smoky note. On the finish pineapple and lychee, medium-long duration.Whites for me must have a different evaluation than amber.

White TECA-off SBS origins vs. for CB! Well… I guess they just come from the same tank. Can’t really find any significant difference here 😁 Side-by-side versus the SBS TECC, this one is significantly more fruity. I guess as is true for Hampden‘s marks, also for LP not only the ester level but also the composition of esters seems to change significantly between the TECA -> TECC marks.

Funk, Fruit, Ester, Wild🤤 yummy Nose: Delicious and Intense Jamaica feeling 🫨a lot of overwhelming ester! Some fruits in a bowl of nail polish and solvents. Mouth: Fruity and delicious. The alcohol is integrated well too. Finish: is quite long estery and floral

Well, it's not really my cup of tea on its own. Certainly not too bad as a mixer. Edit: had it again as a mixer for a CubaLibre in a glass. It cuts a better figure here. But even there it can't really convince me

Night tasting of the TECC/TECA Community Tastings by Mirco. Today: the three unaged ones. As expected with the two Marks, the rums are not entirely dissimilar and all the expected markers are there 😉 Nose: Rum 1 most pastry/bacon, rum 2 more fruity, rum 3 most fermented. Favortite: Rum 1, then 3 then 2 Palate: Rum 1 the warmest and thickest, rum 2 more stone fruit, rum 3 very dry. For my taste, 1> 2 > 3 applies here Overall, 1 is clearly the best for me, then 3 and 2 at the end - but without much distance. All delicious. Resolution: Rum1 = rx13569 SBS Origins TECA Rum 2 = rx13378 SBS Origins TECC Rum 3 = rx12601 Warehouse#1 TECA

Typical Teca with nice ester and fruity notes.

In the Daiquiri it lacks a bit of power.

A good idea to bottle the well-known ester monsters in "raw form". Compared to the aged TECA, the esters and marzipan dominate here, while the aged colleague adds finer fruit and caramel tones.Nose: intense, fresh and funky. Esters and solvents with glue, immediately followed by fierce marzipan and pineapple. A bit of lime comes in. Clear announcement, but that's all it needs.Palate: intense and warm, almost soft. A bit dry and slightly bitter at first, but then a wave of esters and pineapple marzipan comes in. Gets really sweet with hints of raspberry and banana. Out the back more chamomile and anise. In the finish, however, the pineapple marzipan dominates again.Der makes fun. I like, matured better. Definitely a good mixer.

Beautiful white TECA for the cocktail world but can also be relaxed sippen. Nice that there is more and more choice 👍

High Ester Bombe von Long Pond. Bin mittlerweile ein Freund davon, viele Rums auch mal unaged zu probieren. Schon Wahnsinn, was Holz und Lagerung für einen Einfluss haben können. Für mich absolut auch pur zu genießen, freue mich aber auch darauf, den Mal in diversen Cocktails zu testen.

Ein netter Long Pond von S.B.S. In der Nase schön viel Ester, Lösungsmittel, Nagellack und Ananas. Am Gaumen dann sehr funktioniert, wieder viel Ester, außerdem wieder Ananas und auch Lack ist erkennbar.

Blind verkostet im Rahmen des Community Tastings Long Pond TECA/TECC: Sehr florale und blumig, aber auch jede Menge Ester, Klebstoff, etwas Frucht, aber eher unreif bzw. Zitrusfrüchte. Macht vermutlich als Mixer eine gute Figur.

Mircos Blind-Tasting TECA/TECC Nr.1: Ein unaged Long Pond der milderen und angenehmen Art. Der Alkohol ist recht gut eingebunden und nicht sehr hoch. Ester und Lösungsmittel sind deutlich wahrnehmbar. Auch leichte tropische Früchte sind erkennbar. Das Aromenspiel setzt sich am Gaumen fort. Der Abgang ist mehr auf der esterigen Seite. Er dürfte ein guter Mixer sein

Mixer, zum pur trinken eher ungeeignet. Recht geradlinig ohne viel Finesse.

Wirklich geiles Zeug. Per Gewohnheit erstmal an der Flasche geschnuppert - Fruchtsalat. Im Glas kippt der Geruch dann ins Klebstoffparadies, mit viel estrigen Früchten aber auch grasig-pflanzlichen Noten, die wohl typisch für ungealtertes Produkt sind. Der Gaumen baut hervorragend auf der Nase auf, wirklich ein klasse Tropfen für Leute die es funky mögen.
