How does this rum taste?
Fans of bold, high-ester Jamaican rums rave about the TECA 2003's wild intensity and complexity, with many calling it "unique" or "a must-try." Most reviews mention pungent esters, overripe tropical fruits, and a signature "meaty, funky" profile layered with notes of leather and glue. This is often enjoyed neat after letting it breathe, especially for experienced palates seeking a powerful, conversation-starting rum. It's a challenging but unforgettable sipper that Long Pond fans and collectors frequently recommend for its sheer individuality and long, evolving finish.

🚨 One of the most extreme rums I know. Austere, meaty, esters, fermented and a hint of "herring". 😳Not for the faint of heart. Then on the palate a great spiciness and sweetness. A real experience!
Crazy. in the first moment (very briefly!) Passion fruit and vanilla and after a few minutes it always goes over to Maggi, bacon and rotten vegetables and stinky sulfur
One of the most distinctive rums to come out in recent years! The nose is a riot of fermented fruit at the lomite of rot, glue and some citrus with a nice hint of the cask! When you taste it it is both brutal and elegant where red fruits and berries appear! The brand of long pond can be felt and fully recognized! A rollercoaster rum not for everyone! I love it!
You either love it or hate it. I was until now clearly in the second camp, 39 points🥶 and tail light. Tip and sample from Bonn (Thanks!), he should, the longer the bottle is open, the better.👍The nose is now a lot more solid than I remember. Wood, leather, toasted. Some estery, but pleasant. Round and balanced. Complex it is not. The dead dog on the side of the road is still very easy to smell, but makes the rum interesting. 😅In the mouth, then the post goes off. Woody, furry, pungent on one side, warm and full on the other. A rum that is more felt than tasted. The finish is short, wood and musty.The second time I like the rum much better, but it has (in this case fortunately) lost some complexity.
