“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.”

“This is a retasting and I stick to my initial score. A great release and thanks to Thunderbird for the sample swap 😊 ----- 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.”

“Day 16 of the Samples de Luxe calendar. A rather Guyana nose with brown sugar, leather and varnished wood. Depth and acidity. The alcohol hits hard but the palate remains balanced. Vegetal notes emerge, eucalyptus and cut grass. Passion fruit. The finish is as long as one could wish, and the sweetness of this rum arrives as the alcohol evaporates. A rich, powerful rum.”

“Die absolute Long Pond Referenz für mich. Unglaublich komplex und Power ohne Ende. Leider geht meine Flasche zu Neige. Auch im Mai Tai einer der besten Rums, den ich jemals hatte. Ich hoffe es kommen bald mal wieder tropisch gelagerte TECA ich liebe dieses Mark.”

“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.”

“Auf der Messe Pueblo del Ron 2024 verkostet. Obwohl ich bereits ein Sample davon zu Hause hatte, konnte ich dank Serge seinem Hinweis nicht widerstehen mit diesen ins Glas schenken lassen. Bei 5€ für 2cl mittlerweile ein NoBrainer. Was für ein Knaller, mehr muss man nicht dazu sagen.”

“Actually, the ITP - VRW - STCE range is my comfort zone for relaxed drinking. But this TECA is not only a flavor bomb, but also scary tasty and drinkable at the same time. Absolute banger.”

“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!”

“Blind tasting. It's a Jamaican, no doubt about it. And one of those with esters. The fruit is very ripe, even rotten. There's a touch of almond powder and quite a bit of solvent. So I'm thinking of an NRJ bottle, probably a TECA (because I know TECC and STCE and it's not that). In the end, that's what it is. It's a good rum, but not particularly pleasant for me. It's nice to try, but not the kind of thing I like to drink for pleasure. So not a bottle I'd buy to sip.”
