Long Pond at its best - very intense pleasure with abundant fruit, heavy sweetness and a good hint of spicy wood influence. Mouth filling aroma bomb.

The perfect TECA. Glue, acidity, citrus, varnish and yet a heavy sweetness. Extreme yet balanced. A true firework of aromas. Quite great cinema! 🧪💣

After opening the bottle immediately spreads a fruit / ester / solvent scent in the room ! In the glass, after some rest, join the first impression delicate vanilla, marzipan and passoinsfruchtaromen to it...genau mine!On the palate first a heavy sweetness..creamy spreads the rum , accompanied by tropical fruits, young wood / branches, pimento and vanilla / anise! The alcohol is perfectly integrated...I could chew on it for hours!The finish is long and intense after tropical fruit (passion fruit), cardamom, young wood and light ester!I am thrilled!

Good stuff. Association of a fermented fruit iced tea. Crass nail polish remover. The sun in the glass. Super tasty. A nose to fall in love with, easily over 90 points. In the mouth, however, the acidity is too hefty for me. But that should be personal reference. Overall, an extremely horny drop.

Un Long Pond sensationnel, qui débute au nez avec de très belles notes phénoliques, des fruits exotiques en abondance et des notes pâtissières et sucrées très gourmandes, le tout offrant un profil harmonieux et aromatique à souhait. En bouche, on ressent une texture grasse et huileuse qui se marie parfaitement à la gourmandise des fruits, la fraîcheur florale, l’astringence des notes phénoliques et la finesse des épices et du bois. On est sur un rhum très équilibré, d’une grande rondeur et d’une complexité hors du commun. La finale, très longue, prolonge les arômes fruités, épicés et boisés, avec de légères notes torréfiées de café et du caramel. Un rhum extraordinaire, à la limite de l’orgasme olfactif et gustatif.

Wow, this is a really nice rum. The nose is nice and fruity from opening the bottle. The fruityness is wall balanced with spices and of course esters and some polish. The palate matches the nose with its fruitiness and spices. A heavy yet balanced palate with a bit of wood and menthol. The finish is long and fruity with ginger and lugt coffee/barrel.

Jour 16 du calendrier Samples de Luxe. Un nez plutôt de Guyana avec du sucre brun, du cuir et du bois verni. Profondeur et acidité. L’alcool frappe fort mal à la bouche reste équilibrée. Des notes végétales se révèlent, eucalyptus et herbe coupée. Du fruit de la passion. La finale est longue à souhait et la douceur de ce rhum arrive avec l’évaporation de l’alcool. Un rhum riche et puissant. J’avais parié sur un Demerara.

Eigentlich ist der Bereich ITP - VRW - STCE meine Komfortzone für entspanntes Trinken. Aber dieser TECA ist nicht nur eine Aromenbombe, sondern auch gleichzeitig erschreckend lecker und trinkbar. Absoluter Knaller.

Nach den beiden Velier STCE von 2005 und 2010 bin ich gespannt was der viel gelobte 2005er TECA kann. Die Nase ist intensiv aber verschlossener. Jedenfalls fällt es mir schwerer einzelne Aromen zu identifizieren. Am Gaumen bleibt aber kein Zweifel mehr, dass es sich hier um ein anderes Mark mit wesentlich höherem Estercount handelt. Eine intensivere Aromenwelle rollt durch den Mundraum, wie ich das liebe, toll! Das ist nochmal eine Intensitätssteigerung des Long Pond Profils im Vergleich zu den STCE Abfüllungen. Gefällt mir ausgezeichnet! Leider ist die Abfüllung längst vergriffen. Deshalb Danke an die Community für die Samples!

Der schlägt einfach nur ins Gesicht - eine Wucht, die Nase Lösungsmittel, Klebstoff, Marzipan, dunkel, würzig -verdammt komplex, nichts für Einsteiger! Die 62% kommen schon gut an aber das in der Nase angefangen hat geht am Gaumen weiter, hier kommt die tropische Reifung gut zur Geltung, Adstringenz, schwer, tropische Früchte und verdammt viel Funk!!! Dieser LP TECA ist absolute Benchmark! Großes Kino

Dégusté après le TECA 2007 NRJ. Le nez est du même acabit mais plus riche et gourmand. C'est ultra funky, fruité, bourré d'esters. En bouche, là aussi, on a les mêmes marqueurs que le 2007 mais la complexité et la gourmandise sont un cran au-dessus. C'est vraiment très bon. La finale est douce et longue, avec une pointe d'acidité. C'est gourmand à souhait malgré la puissance. Ça reste piquant même plusieurs minutes après la dernière gorgée. Une pure merveille.

Au nez on a des solvants, du caoutchouc, du cuir/tabac, de la pâte d'amande, des raisins secs et du caramel. Mais c’est à la limite de l’écœurant tellement c’est concentré. En bouche l’attaque est rude ! A ne pas mettre entre les mains de quiconque. C’est intense, puissant, huileux. On retrouve un profil épicé avec le cuir/tabac du nez, du chêne et du caramel. Avec en plus les fameux solvants et le caoutchouc. La finale est longue sur le café/cacao. C’est très astringent. L’avantage avec ce type de quille, c’est que le niveau va descendre tout doucement. Une fois ouverte, elle va durer quelques mois (années) dans le bar. Clairement, ce n’est pas ma came. Je n’arrive pas à prendre de plaisir sur ce truc de bourrin. Mais il faut avouer que c’est bien fait.
