    How does this rum taste?

    Ester-packed complexity
    Long, evolving finish

    What really stands out in reviews of the Long Pond TECA is its explosive ester-driven character—a high-ester Jamaican powerhouse that's both funky and complex. Most buyers pick up intense aromas of glue, solvents, overripe banana, and tropical fruit, while on the palate, it's equally bold with layers of fruit, spice, and just the right amount of wood and leather. Many enjoy this as a contemplative sipper, savoring the long, evolving finish and comparing it to legendary high-ester rums. With integrated alcohol and depth, this limited release earns repeat praise and top spots on collector lists, making it a must-try for adventurous rum fans.

     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'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!
