Review by Nils123
Sehr komplex. Mit Wasser ändert er sich und wird an der Nase süßer, aber im Geschmack würziger und pfefferiger, jedoch auch funky. Im Abgang verbleibt die florale Note am längsten. Gefällt mir sehr gut.
Review by Christoph
The heart in the marrow says it all ;-). After the alcohol has evaporated after a few minutes super pleasant "Jamaica ester nose" and in the taste an explosion of tropical fruits, with a metallic sweetness and a pinch of salt.
Review by Fasen
We are here in the presence of a Jamaican well fruity (Banana / Pineapple / Mango / Pear / Peach / Green apple acid) all these fruits are well sweetened and candied what gives an impression of candy to this rum.as any Jamaican who respects itself it is obviously empyreumatic (Rubber / Smoke / Metallic / Tar) but also greedy (Cream / Crème brûlé / Fruit cake). The spices accompany us all along (Nutmeg / Cinnamon / Vanilla / Liquorice / Clove) with also a small vegetable side that ends on a small olive brine in the end. It is really great!
Review by Thunderbird
On the nose, a fruity sweet note predominates, the alcohol is gently perceptible. A little vanilla also comes through.Surprising then on the palate: first a sweetness, then briefly something fruity and finally dominant a tart pleasant spice!The alcohol is perfectly integrated! That has what!In the finish, the spice remains most noticeable!Very tasty!
Review by Vincent D
What a pleasure it is to open this bottle and immediately smell that distinctive aroma. It's strong, rotten, esterized, peppery and so on. The taste doesn't disappoint. It's intense. Young and lively. Everything is too present in this rum, and that makes it incredible. Long Pond is definitely my thing. Edit: tested and validated in an overboosted mai-tai! Re-edit: tested during a 5l barrel ageing experiment. This white is excellent. Edit: finished for this one. Impressions confirmed with each tasting.
Review by MJ97
It is very complex (like most of the Jamaican I have tasted so far). On the nose, we have a lot of roundness, a nice note of banana well marked, on a background of dark chocolate. In mouth, the 62,5 are not felt at all, it is extremely well integrated. We have a red fruit side that takes over with the taste of yeast / crust that is in the background but that does not bother me as much as on the old ones. The finish remains on the red fruits.
Review by zabo
This first nose reminded me of childhood and the Hubba Bubba gum.In the mouth this is nice funky and strong and nice full-bodied. Slightly salty I find just before the finish.A nice rum, for me so far the best unaged rum I had in the glass.
Review by Gd Flo
You like chiseled rums, flowers and poetry? It's not funky, it's delirious, it's not nasty, it's brutal! Dry it's a big slap, in cocktails (punch, ti punch, daiquiri) it's crazy! I emptied my 2nd bottle, I need a 3rd one quickly. Beware sado mazo rum addictive!
Review by Martin Augustin
A very interesting unaged Long Pond. In addition to the typical Jamaican notes (esters and fruit), for me it also has something of a good Agricole. An interesting and very successful combination. The alcohol is excellently integrated, especially considering that it has not been matured in barrels.
Review by Benoit Mahe
I like the nose and the beginning of the mouth but the finish on the metal is rather unpleasant.
Review by Serge
The STCE Mark is just super tasty - also in this unaged bottling. Tastes also pure but is a grenade in the daiquiri.
Review by Double Barrel
Waow i have a fruits salad close to a see port industrial area! Impressive for a White!! Only the price retained me to buy more bottles.
Review by Bavarian Rum Lover
Winding white Jamaican with all the Jamaican attributes. Overripe fruit, slightly grassy/floral notes (slight Clairin associations), some tar/oil, slightly mineral. The alcohol at 62.5% is perfectly integrated, no peaks at all and goes down like oil. The consistency of the brandy is wonderfully fine and light. Very good to drink neat and the perfect base ingredients in any tiki cocktail.
Review by Galli33
Yummy🤤 Very classic fruity(full fruit basket from banana, citrus, overripe fruits) and funky estery rum! The alcohol is integrated well. I can recommend this for mixing! It can improve every cocktail 🤤
Review by Renato
Very representative of Jamaica, with a lot of fruity, vegetal esters and smoky notes. A nice long finish.
