How does this rum taste?
Most love its funky Long Pond DNA, big esters and well‑integrated alcohol; critics mention youth, bitterness and limited complexity. Consensus: a very good, intense yet relatively straightforward young STC❤️E.
If you enjoy punchy Long Pond like NRJ STC❤️E but are curious about a younger, slightly leaner take, this gives you the core funk and fruit at full power without added sugar.
Beginners, those sensitive to high ABV or astringent tannins, and drinkers expecting the depth and polish of older, tropically aged Long Pond releases.

Arrived today (many thanks to Dr. Django) and tasted it straight away. And I have to say, it's fun. On the nose it is pleasantly fermented and fruity with a slightly sweet ester. It is smooth on the palate (the alcohol is well integrated) and initially releases sweet fruity aromas. These then change to a slightly woody, spicy side. The finish is of medium length. Compared to the older bottlings, it lacks a little of the complexity to be at the very top. Nevertheless, it remains a great bottling!
Franchement très surprenant , Autant d’arôme autant d’expression pour un jus aussi jeune. Vraiment superbe On retrouve facilement les marqueurs long pond habituels C’est explosif en bouche, Plein d’arôme Une vraie petite bombe 😍😍😍
#5043 10.01.2025 Enjoying some samples at home. Nose Medium intense, light wood, fruity, overripe, banana, spice, light glue, light ester. Palate Warm, round, balanced, light wood, faint smoke, fruity, overripe, light floral, light glue, light banana, medium spicy, spice. Finish Long and warm, light wood, fruits, light citrus, medium spicy. The empty glass has nice fruit, faint chocolate, light floral and light citrus notes. Needs to rest for a good while to really open up properly.
An der Glaswand bilden sich große träge hinabrinnende Tränen. Die Nase ist zuerst alkoholisch, viel Nagellack und Kleber. Dazwischen oder vielmehr dahinter fruchtige Ester. Ein wenig Ähnlichkeit mit länger gelagerten Long Pond Abfüllungen kann ich erahnen. Am Gaumen mehr Long Pond DNA in Form von Umami-Noten. Nachklang dann weniger vielfältig aber trotzdem gut. Ein sehr guter junger, intensiver Long Pond, der von langer Standzeit vor dem Genuss profitiert und m.M.n zu früh in die Flasche kam.
