Glue, nail polish and pineapple hit first, then it turns fruity and warm: overripe banana, mango, sour cherry, vanilla and a bit of roasted oak. This is a full-on Jamaican ester bomb from Long Pond at 60%, and tasters keep noting how well the alcohol sits — most barely feel the heat under all that fruit. Sour-sweet, wild, long finish.
The community says- Fruity ester bomb
- Well-integrated alcohol
- Keep in mind: High 60% ABV

How does Habitation Velier Long Pond Selected by LMDW STC❤️E 2010 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Fruity, ester-heavy high-proof Jamaican Members love this one — a fruity, ester-heavy Long Pond with sour cherry, pineapple and well-hidden alcohol. A few place it just behind the 2005 vintage, but nearly everyone rates it high.

Review by SaibotZtar
Very horny Long Pond. The tropical maturation is again clearly perceptible here. (I like it very much) Nice fruity but special nose. Wonderfully full-bodied and fruity in the mouth . Alcohol barely noticeable. Great!!!
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Awesome shit! Wouldn't have thought that so much of the stce White, which I also find mega, would still be left in the barrel after 10y+. Really nice fruity, artificial ester monster ♥️😅 I actually like the 57% one a tick better and has a bit more to offer in terms of complexity and is more drinkable. Overall, however, they are on a par!
Review by TheRhumhoe
A Long Pond bottled by Velier with all the expected qualities. The nose is highly refined and expressive, with exotic fruit, citrus and medicinal notes at first approach. A hint of leather, spice and smoky oak underpin the olfactory profile, which is very appealing. The attack on the palate is as appetizing as it is delicious. A fruity explosion fills the nostrils with banana, pineapple, passion fruit, lime and red fruits, all in a basket of glue, nail polish and solvents. Oak, sweet spices, leather and marzipan round out this terribly tasty profile. The alcohol is superbly well integrated. The finish is of decent length, initially assaulted by spices (ginger, chili), oak and leather. Fruit and phenolic notes follow, giving a full, silky, beautifully rounded profile. A Long Pond that aficionados could drink like whey.
Review by Leo Krüper
Super nice Long Pond, which is really tasty. For me, Ester strikes the perfect balance between salivation and fruitiness. Super rum
Review by Adrian Wahl
So it's good. A good tropical LP. But definitely not playing in the really high league.

Review by LukaŽiga
8,8:On the nose, esters, glue and rubber with pineapple and peaches, roasted wood notes like caramel and pastry, spice like vanilla, bump into our nosetrils. On aeration, it becomes vegetal, grassy, floral, slightly metallic, more balanced with fruits like passion fruit, dried apricot and sour cherry, pairing oaky tones, leather and cocoa. 8,9:On the palate, the attack is delicious, slightly acidic with esters, overripe tropical fruits as banana, pineapple, mango, then red fruits with strawberry, sour cherry, lime and later apricot, the wood is roasted with toffee, pastry, spicy and salty, the molasses is vegetal, grassy and flowery. 8,8:The finish is long, dry, buttery with roasted wood notes, spices like vanilla, ginger and anise, pairing tons of tropical, red fruits and currants. Edit:19.12.25
Review by Jakob
Great Long Pond, even if it doesn't match the first 2005 HV release. Great sweet and sour fruit notes paired with caramel and wood sweetness.
Review by Benoit Mahe
Flawless, not a knockout but a good Long Pond.
Review by Jarek
Tasted together with the three Cambridge STCE. I like it very much. Similarly fruity as the 13-year-old 2005 Cambridge, but with an additional note. Sour cherry, as mentioned by some tasters, could fit. Pleasant sweetness and spice. Hardly any wood influence. Very drinkable.
Review by Skyfly
Very fruity from start to finish. While sour cherry was especially present on the nose, the mouth offered a true explosion of flavors alongside sour cherry with pineapple, mango, and light esters. In the finish, the ester moves forward, but as a spicy representative. Great rum, alcohol almost too strong.
Review by Timo Groeger
Also a top rum, but I find it slightly worse than the Hampden from earlier. But also great, tropical fruits, of course banana and pineapple on the nose and palate, but also a bit of solvent on the nose.
Review by Mentalo
Nice tropical aged STCE from Long Pong. Can't quite keep up with the 2005 vintage, but pretty close. Nicely fruity, spices, esters, wood, and a well-balanced sweet-acid play.
Review by Thunderbird
An excellent LP... this is exactly mine... heavy, intense, present to every flavor fiber... almost reminds me of the TECC... Too bad I didn't get a bottle of this!
Review by Speedflo
Very balanced and full-bodied LP. Compared to 2010 much less wood and fruit notes. Ester notes rather in the background but still present. Wild with edges and corners.
Review by Piotr Ignasiak
Part of my STCE tasting tonight. I like how the sweet and sourness meets vanilla and caramel with some cocoa behind it. Not overly complex or intense, but thoroughly enjoyable. Thanks Tobias for sharing a sample.
Review by Righrum
Another great long pond, in a way different both form 2010 and 2005 Stce I tried so far. In fact, this mark sour and fruity profile is confirmed also in this release, but with a new layer of complexity made up of buttery and confictionery notes, which mix up well with the fierce ester-y profile that characterises the 2010. Really pleasant, even if maybe the official NRJ releases scores a bit higher in my book
Review by Oliver
Not for the faint of heart. If you get involved you will be rewarded with a Jamaican aroma bomb.
Review by Christoph
First class ester funk with the leather whip on the nose. A play of fruit on the tongue with a sandy dirtiness that some Caroni have. You could also say acidity that literally thaws the tongue to absorb all the flavors. On the finish the fruits are complemented by cocoa and ginger.
Review by Basti
Absolutely brilliant rum that catapults itself directly into my top 3. Initially strong aromas of solvent, cookie dough, butter/almond aroma and esters, which after some time give way to fruity, sweet notes of papaya, mango, and caramel. On the palate then super intense with esters and tropical fruits, but also fruity sweet notes. Reminds a bit of the Cambridge 2005. Alcohol perfectly integrated. The only downside is that unfortunately the rum is no longer available.
Review by alex
Pure delight. A great Jamaican 😍
Review by Arnaud Faverjon
Really very nice but a bit lacking in intensity and length. Alcohol a bit too present on the palate as well. Probably a bit young.. Still a very good moment!
Review by Stijn Zino
A real beauty! Nose Cambridge 2010 Palate less rough then the NRJ Very nice balance, easy drinking with lots of complex notes and a long finish. Quality!
Review by Michal S
Nice Long Pond, with cherry, esters, and other tropical fruits on the nose; on the palate, overripe pineapple, vanilla, wood. Overall very fruity Jamaica, cherry really stands out even in the finish. Interesting drink, I recommend a sample.
