"I love Long Pond distillery!Vale Royal is the least pronounced as scents. It is a depowered version of the Long Pond TECA or TECC. This bottle is a reissue from a Jamaican distillery that has now been closed for decades.On the nose we smell solvents, spices including vanilla, chocolate and marzipan or otherwise pastry and a slight roastiness.On the palate we always have dark chocolate, nail polish or solvents, pastry, woody notes and always a slight peanut roastiness. I also seem to detect a faint note of tar on the palate.The finish is medium-long with hints of grape/ lychee.ABV beautifully integrated, better than its big brothers!A nice tasting rum well balanced, but with a strong character!"

"The least strong in Ester of the series, which gives it a wonderful balance between fruit,vanilla, chocolate,cocoa and oak with a perfectly integrated alcohol 🤤"

"Ein richtig guter Jamaicaner mit wenig Estern. Nuss, getrocknete Früchte, schöne Lösungsmittel, toter Hund (aber von der guten Sorte 😀😀😀). Braucht 1-2h im Glas um sich zu öffnen. Morgen ein gesuchtes Sammlerstück. Die Musik dazu: Lennie Hibbert „Real Hot“. Edit: Nach langer Zeit wieder mal im Glas. Toller Long Pond."
