Long Pond S.B.S Jamaica #STANDWITHUKRAINE STC❤️E 2020
The surprise here: blind, most tasters didn't peg this as an STCE Long Pond at all — several guessed a low-ester Hampden. It's a young pot-still Jamaican with esters, nail polish and tropical fruit up front, then roasted, spicy wood from a DOK-cask finish. The alcohol integration splits people, but the fruity finish lingers for minutes. And your buy helped a good cause.
The community says- Long fruity finish

Fruity young Long Pond, DOK-cask twist Most enjoy it as an easy, fruity Long Pond, though several note it's less tropical and estery than a typical STCE, with the 57% not always fully tucked in. The DOK finish shows.

Very nice bottling! #standwithucraine I enjoyed this one a lot. The DOK barrel is well noted and make a good mix with the LP. Btw. Hampden and Long Pond are my favorite distillers! In the nose you’ll get the full power of the ST<3CE fruit basket paired with a high impact of ester and the sherry cask. Very lovely. On the pallet it continious with those notes. The finish is quite a bit unspectacular, but the lovely typical fruity LP notes remains for many many minutes 🤤🤤 PN: I let it rest for about 30 min. In comparsion to the Cambridge 2010, this one i like much more.

I first smelled it and thought it doesn't have to hide behind a DOK! Then I saw that it was actually aged in an ex-DOK cask. On the palate Long Pond is still in the foreground, although the alcohol is not perfectly integrated. Still, it's fun!
Review by DomM
Interesting cask experiment. I enjoy this much more than your „modern classic“ straight up 2y Sherry maturation. Well done.
Review by zabo
Tasted again with Serge in a very spontaneous sample swap action. At first sip not immediately recognizable as a Long Pond STCE. Blind, I would most likely, as Serge also suspected, have guessed a low ester Hampden. Alcohol is super integrated. Very good easy sipper. At a fair price. Delicious.
Review by Ondra RumRunner
Rum Long Pond od 1423 World Class Spirits zaujme komplexním aromatem plným esterů, tropického ovoce a vegetálních tónů, doplněným dotekem slaniny a kůže. Vůně působí výrazně a zároveň osobitě. Na patře se objevují tóny sušeného ovoce, koření a dřevitosti, které se mísí s jemnou esterovou svěžestí a pikantním zakončením. Tento rum nabízí bohatý a intenzivní chuťový profil, ideální pro znalce hledající hlubší vrstvy. --- English: The Long Pond rum by 1423 World Class Spirits impresses with a complex aroma filled with esters, tropical fruits, and vegetal notes, complemented by hints of bacon and leather. The nose is bold yet distinctive. On the palate, notes of dried fruits, spices, and woodiness emerge, blending with subtle ester freshness and a spicy finish. This rum offers a rich and intense flavor profile, ideal for connoisseurs seeking deeper layers. --- Deutsch: Der Long Pond Rum von 1423 World Class Spirits beeindruckt mit einem komplexen Aroma, das Ester, tropische Früchte und vegetative Noten enthält, ergänzt durch Anklänge von Speck und Leder. Die Nase ist kraftvoll und zugleich charakteristisch. Am Gaumen entfalten sich Noten von Trockenfrüchten, Gewürzen und Holzigkeit, die sich mit subtiler Esterfrische und einem würzigen Abgang verbinden. Dieser Rum bietet ein reichhaltiges und intensives Geschmacksprofil, ideal für Kenner, die nach tieferen Nuancen suchen.
Review by Thunderbird
In the nose, a wonderful fruit basket with light ester!On the palate, the roasty spicy flavors predominate more! TheFruit is discreetly perceptible!The same applies to the finish!Ester accompanies it from the nose to the finish!For me, not a typical STCE, but very neat!The DOK finish is noticeable

#4666 23.03.2024 Relaxing at home after picking up two sets of online tasting in Flensburg. At the same time planning what to bring to Blåvand when I visit a fellow RumX from Germany. Nose Intense, wood, light roasted, fruity, ester, polish. Palate Intense, medium dry, wood, roasted, fruity, ester, faint floral. Finish Medium to long, medium dry, roasted wood, light cherry. I really like the cherry note in the profile. The empty glass has some light nutts, vegetal and faint leather notes.
Review by martin slezák
Color straw Aroma spices, fruit, almonds, straw Taste fruit, spices, pungency and then strong esters, fairly long ester finish somewhat reminiscent of DOK from HV but esters are less pronounced ABV I guess around 55% In the nose I thought of Haiti but the taste is Hampden ester Jamaican
Review by SaibotZtar
DOK influence very strong to smell and taste(Fat glue bomb🤣).... Alcohol not optimally integrated despite slight dilution. If he lingered 20min in the glass also come light fruit notes ,some wood and honey with ... All in all, nice LP with yet strong finish.The best, however, is the good feeling in hard times with the purchase to have done something good .Thanks for such actions, it shows there is also still good ✌️🥃❤️🇺🇦🇯🇲
Review by LukaŽiga
8,3:On the nose, esters and nail polish bump into our nosetrils, with fermented, yoghurt like tropical fruits with pineapple, banana and citrus fruits, slightly vegetal and some roasted wood. On aeration, some pungent notes arise, perhaps a bit rotten red fruits, the rum becomes spicy, floral, the wood brings pastry and leather. 8,4:On the palate, the attack is medicinal with esters, pungent with overripe, fermented, slightly rotten tropical, red and citrus fruits, in combination with vegetal molasses with hay and olive, slightly bitter, dry, the wood is roasted, smoky with confectionery, leather and burnt sugar, spicy and salty. 8,1:The finish is medium long, dry, the molasses is vegetal, the wood roasted, smoky and spicy, the fruits tropical, red and in company of peaches....
Review by Serge
Small on-the-go tasting during sample swap at Zabo. It was poured and I didn’t guess LP blind, and certainly not STCE. Sure Jamaica, alcohol nicely integrated but clearly less estery than it should be. Good, but not what I expected as a tropical STCE fan. Still tasty though 👌
Review by Adrian Wahl
I find the nose more interesting than what actually happens in the mouth. The combo of STC🖤E & DOK Finish sounds better on paper than the result is.
Review by Christian Rudt
Young Long Pond with a message. And it applies in the new year too. 🇺🇦 On the palate more spicy and roasted, in the nose the fruits dance instead. Already intense but not overwhelming. Delicious 🤤
Review by Filip Šikula
Beautiful Long Pond with a very intense barrel influence from the colleagues by the dock. The revival works beautifully, I left it in the glass for 15 minutes and the subsequent integration of alcohol is fine, the eyebrow-raising notes in the mouth linger long after finishing.
Review by Pavel Spacek
... Hampden, legendary Jamaican distillery that besides rum also produces alcohol for perfumes. In all rums from this distillery you can feel wild esters, after which your whole body soaks in the scent of yellow tropical fruits - mango, papaya, pineapple, peach. One of the rums you "must try before you die".
Review by Roman Lelek
I like this type of rum. On the nose, a fruity punch mixed with nail polish and wood. On the palate again fruit, wood and at the end an alcoholic finish combined with the dryness of the wood. Medium finish, with notes of sugarcane... the flavor profile is more like a white rum, but that doesn't bother me.

Vintage 2020. With 8.5 out of 10 it belongs to the better ones that have come into my glass.
