Long Pond S.B.S Jamaica (Single Origin Rum) TECA
Glue, nail polish and pineapple hit first — this is an unaged Long Pond TECA that fills the room with fruity esters. The palate is warm at 57%, funky, with banana, marzipan and a smoky-dry turn on the finish. Several tasters happily sip it neat; even more reach for it in a daiquiri or Mai Tai where the funk cuts through.
The community says- Big fruity esters
- Great cocktail base
- But: Sharp-edged neat

How does Long Pond S.B.S Jamaica (Single Origin Rum) TECA taste?
Aggregated from 87 community reviews.
Funky unaged Jamaican, great in a daiquiri Well-liked high-ester Jamaican that punches above its weight. Most drink it in cocktails, some sip it neat; a few find it too sharp, vinegary or metallic on its own.

Loving long ponds, I decided to purchase a white. I expected more marzipan, which I love in its aged counterpart, however it is a remarkable white. Complex, strong in the solvent part, but never overdone. Olive and esters on the nose. In the mouth solvents and a fleeting roasted/smoky note. On the finish pineapple and lychee, medium-long duration.Whites for me must have a different evaluation than amber.

Well, it's not really my cup of tea on its own. Certainly not too bad as a mixer. Edit: had it again as a mixer for a CubaLibre in a glass. It cuts a better figure here. But even there it can't really convince me
Review by DomM
White TECA-off SBS origins vs. for CB! Well… I guess they just come from the same tank. Can’t really find any significant difference here 😁 Side-by-side versus the SBS TECC, this one is significantly more fruity. I guess as is true for Hampden‘s marks, also for LP not only the ester level but also the composition of esters seems to change significantly between the TECA -> TECC marks.
Review by Oliver
In the Daiquiri it lacks a bit of power.
Review by Galli33
Funk, Fruit, Ester, Wild🤤 yummy Nose: Delicious and Intense Jamaica feeling 🫨a lot of overwhelming ester! Some fruits in a bowl of nail polish and solvents. Mouth: Fruity and delicious. The alcohol is integrated well too. Finish: is quite long estery and floral
Review by Basti
Blind verkostet im Rahmen des Community Tastings Long Pond TECA/TECC: Sehr florale und blumig, aber auch jede Menge Ester, Klebstoff, etwas Frucht, aber eher unreif bzw. Zitrusfrüchte. Macht vermutlich als Mixer eine gute Figur.
Review by Serge
Night tasting of the TECC/TECA Community Tastings by Mirco. Today: the three unaged ones. As expected with the two Marks, the rums are not entirely dissimilar and all the expected markers are there 😉 Nose: Rum 1 most pastry/bacon, rum 2 more fruity, rum 3 most fermented. Favortite: Rum 1, then 3 then 2 Palate: Rum 1 the warmest and thickest, rum 2 more stone fruit, rum 3 very dry. For my taste, 1> 2 > 3 applies here Overall, 1 is clearly the best for me, then 3 and 2 at the end - but without much distance. All delicious. Resolution: Rum1 = rx13569 SBS Origins TECA Rum 2 = rx13378 SBS Origins TECC Rum 3 = rx12601 Warehouse#1 TECA
Review by Johannes
Typical Teca with nice ester and fruity notes.
Review by Leo Krüper
Mixer, zum pur trinken eher ungeeignet. Recht geradlinig ohne viel Finesse.
Review by Frank
A good idea to bottle the well-known ester monsters in "raw form". Compared to the aged TECA, the esters and marzipan dominate here, while the aged colleague adds finer fruit and caramel tones.Nose: intense, fresh and funky. Esters and solvents with glue, immediately followed by fierce marzipan and pineapple. A bit of lime comes in. Clear announcement, but that's all it needs.Palate: intense and warm, almost soft. A bit dry and slightly bitter at first, but then a wave of esters and pineapple marzipan comes in. Gets really sweet with hints of raspberry and banana. Out the back more chamomile and anise. In the finish, however, the pineapple marzipan dominates again.Der makes fun. I like, matured better. Definitely a good mixer.
Review by Rumpalumpa
Der erste ungelagerte Rum der mir pur tatsächlich schmeckt. An der Nase gehen primär Lösemittel, die ester gehen eher in die herzhafte Richtung. Am Gaumen aber eine überraschende Süße und fruchtig-würzig
Review by Christian Rudt
Beautiful white TECA for the cocktail world but can also be relaxed sippen. Nice that there is more and more choice 👍
Review by Joël
Of course, never comes to the matured TECA ran, but also costs much less (just under 60.- CHF). For me, the PLV is definitely right and if he tastes me pure no longer just gives good cocktails.
Review by Banana Joe
High Ester Bombe von Long Pond. Bin mittlerweile ein Freund davon, viele Rums auch mal unaged zu probieren. Schon Wahnsinn, was Holz und Lagerung für einen Einfluss haben können. Für mich absolut auch pur zu genießen, freue mich aber auch darauf, den Mal in diversen Cocktails zu testen.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Fetches me unfortunately neither in daiquiri nor pure. Hardly fruit, too much vinegar, varnish and metallic without end. Too bad
Review by Timo Groeger
Ein netter Long Pond von S.B.S. In der Nase schön viel Ester, Lösungsmittel, Nagellack und Ananas. Am Gaumen dann sehr funktioniert, wieder viel Ester, außerdem wieder Ananas und auch Lack ist erkennbar.
Review by Thunderbird
Mircos Blind-Tasting TECA/TECC Nr.1: Ein unaged Long Pond der milderen und angenehmen Art. Der Alkohol ist recht gut eingebunden und nicht sehr hoch. Ester und Lösungsmittel sind deutlich wahrnehmbar. Auch leichte tropische Früchte sind erkennbar. Das Aromenspiel setzt sich am Gaumen fort. Der Abgang ist mehr auf der esterigen Seite. Er dürfte ein guter Mixer sein
Review by Schnapsschuesse
Nagellack und Ananas dominieren in der Nase. Etwas Himbeere und Limette, grasige Frische und dezenter Funk. In Vergleich zum WPH in der Nase ein absolutes Leichtgewicht. Ananas und Agricole Vibes dann im Geschmack. Recht leicht, etwas scharfkantig, fruchtig und mittleres Funklevel. Klasse Daiquiri, insgesamt aber etwas blass für den Preis.
Review by primus
Wirklich geiles Zeug. Per Gewohnheit erstmal an der Flasche geschnuppert - Fruchtsalat. Im Glas kippt der Geruch dann ins Klebstoffparadies, mit viel estrigen Früchten aber auch grasig-pflanzlichen Noten, die wohl typisch für ungealtertes Produkt sind. Der Gaumen baut hervorragend auf der Nase auf, wirklich ein klasse Tropfen für Leute die es funky mögen.

Finally getting around to opening this from 1423 Noble Spirits. The TECA is a heavy marque with 1200 - 1300 esters. Tasting notes: glue, brioche, green olives, nail polish, pineapple, almonds All in all this is a sold Jamaican rum that’s worth picking up, especially at the price point!
