“Great rum, among the best I have tasted. Hints of roastiness, peanuts, solvents/nail polish, barrel/woods, licorice, pastry and light vanilla. I find it well balanced and would never stop drinking it. A deep rum. The finish is endless.”

“THIS RUM, WHAT A RUM! It is simply a cascade of aromas very armonic and intoxicating. It is extremely fruity (exotic), empyreumatic (rubber / tar / burnt / grilled), greedy, slightly spicy, powerful, pastry, funky, fat, fresh, animal, finely wooded ... All this with a very well integrated alcohol. In short, we manage to fill almost all the aromatic palette with this juice, it's quite crazy! It is a very particular rum which will not necessarily please everyone because of its aromatic power. For me it is almost perfection, I am a fan!”

“that is Mal ne Wucht an estern...mir personally almost too much. overripe banana, glue and burnt rubber with musty compost notes, as well as bacon and cream toffee are most dominant... fortunately not so bad musty and compost moderately as the 2003 Teca.at the very end comes an interesting note of bergamot, coconut and dark chocolate with some salt and bitterness, which makes the whole again very exciting and thus also very good!”

Than i opened the glass OMG this is the heaven for a sniffer: glue, rubber, varnish, nail polish, solvents, ester, ester and more ester (is has ca. 1300gr/hlpa). Then after some times you‘ll get the fruits, oak… The alcohol 63% are integrated very very well. I really enjoy this sample 😍 Nose: Ester, Solvents, nail polish, glue, rubber, varnish, trop. fruits, mango, overripe, woody, oak, vanilla, peppery, roasted Mouth: dry, full bodied, strong, delicious, funky, complex, intense, ester, bitter, glue, trop fruits, banana, overripe fruits, pineapple, a bit sweet, caramelized, wood(oak), leather, vanilla, roasted, almond Finish: long, dry, ester, warm, overripe fruits, woody(oak), vanilla, toasted, leather”

“Prior to this bottle I had occasion to taste the TECC same vintage, which I found to be round and satisfying. Here a few more edges in the mouth in my opinion, so a few points less.”

“An dem scheiden sich ja die Geister, aber ich bin begeistert von den Extremen. Nase: sehr raumgreifend und intensiv! Volle Ester, Lösungsmittel und Klebstoff, aber eher süßlich-dick, wie Pattex. Daneben sehr angenehme Zitrusfrüchte, allen voran Mandarine aber auch Orange und Zitrone sowie tropische Früchte, Ananas und Banane. Dahinter karamellige Süße von dunklem Ahornsirup und Vanille. Hinten raus eine leichte Essig-Note und fast etwas Umami. Gaumen: wow, ordentlich adstringent und Ester-lastig. Politur. Dann auch gleich salzig-süß mit dem Übergang zu tropischen Früchten wie Banane und Ananas. Süße von Marzipan-Masse und hinten raus wieder etwas Umami. Die Ester hat man noch am nächsten Tag im Mund Super fordernd und extrem. Der TECC gefällt mir noch besser, aber TECA ist schon genial”

“Nachdem ich beim Teca 2003 eher schlechte Erfahrungen gemacht habe, ist heute der Bruder aus dem Jahr 2007 dran. An der Nase fallen sofort die intensiven Esternoten auf: überreife tropische Früchte, Süße, Lack und Lösungsmittel. Kombiniert mit Gewürzen wie Pfeffer und Kardamom. Am Gaumen auch sehr esterlastig. Vergorene Früchte, Banane und Ananas. Ebenfalls Butternoten, Johgurt und leicht saure Milch. Langer Abgang. Gefällt mir doch deutlich besser als der 2003er Teca. Ist aber auch kein Rum für jeden Tag. Man muss sich ihm mit Respekt nähern.”

“nice LP, one of my favorite "Continental Flavoured". the most balanced and expressive one. heavy tropical furits, solvents, proper rubber, mild wood with cocoa/nuts and cozy caramel toffe. the sweet(toffee, caramel, sugar) is really appropriate. adding little water or oxidization can show more layers and sour cherry, sour fruits. (personal rating: teca 07: 91, tecc 07&stce 05: 89, teca 05: 86)”

“Un Long Pond à la puissance aromatique remarquable. Le nez est funky à souhait avec de puissantes notes d’esters, de colle, de vernis et de solvants, de très belles notes pâtissières, avec des fruits tropicaux mûrs à foison. Les notes boisées, vanillées et épicées suivent, puis des notes étonnantes de caoutchouc, de crème anglaise, de tabac et de raisins se font sentir. La bouche est tout aussi explosive avec la même trame jamaïcaine, à laquelle s’ajoute du caramel, une pointe fumée et du cuir, pour un ensemble concentré, puissant, intense mais très équilibré. La finale, très longue et sèche, est portée par les arômes toastés, chocolatés et boisés, les fruits exotiques, des notes de fraîcheur, de thé et de tabac. Une expérience aromatique exceptionnelle.”
