Long Pond S.B.S Jamaica 2022 Virgin Oak Cask (Bar 1802) TECA
Most tasters land in the same place: this is TECA from start to finish, and if you love the mark you'll be happy. Glue, solvent, varnish and overripe fermented banana up front, with black pepper, spice and a little virgin-oak caramel behind. The knock is the youth — two years shows, and several found it "scharfkantig," sharp-edged, wishing for a few more years of tropical aging.

Aggregated from 19 community reviews.
Young, hot, full-throttle TECA ester bomb Loved by TECA fans for its full-throttle ester, varnish and pepper. Most agree the young age and hot, sharp edges hold it back from a higher score.

Review by Skyfly
Typical TECA aromas with lots of varnish, spices and tropical fruit. Caramel on the nose, sharp-edged on the palate and lots of spices. The banana comes through after a little resting time. Very pleasant finish, alcohol well integrated. A few more years would have been really good for this rum
Review by Banana Joe
What can I say, it is a TECA, from start to finish. All the typical markers such as fermented fruit, varnish and solvent are present, as is the meatiness. The bottling with a few years of tropical maturation would certainly have been a hit, but even as it is, and despite its young age, it is still very appealing.
Review by Jussi Piirainen
This could be my first time reviewing TECA mark rum, so yeah, take this review with a grain of salt. On the nose: light ester, glue, tropical fruits. Light caramel with hints of vanilla. Light fermented notes. Taste: Esters with little bit of fermented notes with fruity notes. Then you get spicy notes and little bit of heat coming from alcohol. Barrel notes and little bit of nutty notes come in at the end. Deep and dark notes Finish: Woody and barrel notes. Little bit of esters. Finishes dry. Surprisingly woody with deep and dark fruity notes. After few sips i started to enjoy it more and more.
