Velier Long Pond TECA

"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."

"Definitely in love with long pond 🤤"

"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's a real stunner of esters... 🤯 overripe banana, glue and burnt rubber with musty compost notes, as well as bacon and cream toffee are the most dominant... fortunately not as musty and composty as the 2003 Teca. At the very end there is an interesting note of bergamot, coconut and dark chocolate with some salt and bitterness, which again makes the whole thing very exciting and therefore also very good!"

"TECA DNA beautiful sweetness tropical fruit. Clearly more "pleasing" than its older brother. Quasi a blend of TECA 2003 and Foursquare... 🤓Very successful!"

"Pretty good release in my mind."

"Archetypal Long Pond High Ester profile with excellent alcohol integration. Aromatic complexity meets balance - the tropical maturation ensures exceptional balance on the one hand, while the fruit aromas are impressively versatile on the other. Great."

"Very intense and tasty. I don’t get any greasy / meaty long pond notes at all (which is good, cause I really do not enjoy those 😅) . Very nice stuff. Side by side to the HV TECA 2005, this is much more musty on the nose vs. more fruity notes on the HV. From the freshly opened bottle this, however, has the edge on the palate as the HV starts off with to much of an alcoholic sting."

"After a few seconds, an ester bomb explodes on the palate😋 quite harmonious despite the intensity. Very digestible rum...dense and intense"

"Online tasting of various TECA and TECC organized by Mirco. First of all, many thanks for the great split to be able to try them all side by side. Now I had to readjust a few ratings."

"An der Nase die volle Dröhnung Ester, Klebstoff und Nagellack, dazu reife Mango und süße Vanille mit einer leicht modrigen Note. Am Gaumen eine angenehme Süße mit trop. Früchten, Klebstoff, Ester und Nagellack. ABV sehr gut eingebunden. Trifft voll meinen Geschmack und reiht sich in meine Top 10 ein."

"A festival of flavor in the mouth... Probably the best bottle I have ever tasted"

"I let it rest for one hour in a close glass. 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"

"Calendrier de l’Avent Rum Friendly Club, jour 15. Un nez chaleureux de fruits trop mûrs et d’esters. Des notes de cèdre soutiennent les fruits. Les esters sont maîtrisés en bouche mais dominent dans un premier temps puis les fruits mûrs prennent le dessus épaulés par un bois de cèdre raffiné et un côté pâtissier. La finale est longue, élégante, sur les fruits tropicaux avec un côté pâtissier très agréable. Un rhum délicieux qui fait vraiment penser à la Jamaïque mais pas chez Hampden."

"A beautiful rum with all the right notes! Deep, complex and flavoursome with lovely alcahol integration. Fruity, funky, glue with a touch of wood and a slight sweetness. I could definetly make this work as a daily sipper if I had a better supply 😅 a long finish."
