Review by Jean Louisss
A festival of flavor in the mouth... Probably the best bottle I have ever tasted
Review by Renato
An exceptional concentration of flavours.
Review by Christoph
My wife spilled the nail polish on the oak floorboards and then used her leather jacket to wipe it up. Ester fruit bomb that comes with a smokiness and woodiness that harmonizes extremely well.
Review by Mirko Frosini 🇮🇪
Great rum, among the best I have tasted. Hints of roastiness, peanuts, solvents/nail polish, barrel/woods, licorice, pastry and light vanilla. I find it well balanced and would never stop drinking it. A deep rum. The finish is endless.
Review by Fasen
THIS RUM, WHAT A RUM! It is simply a cascade of aromas very armonic and intoxicating. It is extremely fruity (exotic), empyreumatic (rubber / tar / burnt / grilled), greedy, slightly spicy, powerful, pastry, funky, fat, fresh, animal, finely wooded ... All this with a very well integrated alcohol. In short, we manage to fill almost all the aromatic palette with this juice, it's quite crazy! It is a very particular rum which will not necessarily please everyone because of its aromatic power. For me it is almost perfection, I am a fan!
Review by Galli33
I let it rest for one hour in a close glass. Than i opened the glass OMG this is the heaven for a sniffer: glue, rubber, varnish, nail polish, solvents, ester, ester and more ester (is has ca. 1300gr/hlpa). Then after some times you‘ll get the fruits, oak… The alcohol 63% are integrated very very well. I really enjoy this sample 😍 Nose: Ester, Solvents, nail polish, glue, rubber, varnish, trop. fruits, mango, overripe, woody, oak, vanilla, peppery, roasted Mouth: dry, full bodied, strong, delicious, funky, complex, intense, ester, bitter, glue, trop fruits, banana, overripe fruits, pineapple, a bit sweet, caramelized, wood(oak), leather, vanilla, roasted, almond Finish: long, dry, ester, warm, overripe fruits, woody(oak), vanilla, toasted, leather
Review by Thunderbird
Mirco's blind tasting TECA/TECC No.5: My first association was: HV 2005 TECA... and it is very similar to this one...only much smoother, as well as a longer opened HV. Here, too, an extensive interplay of aromas that challenges, delights and pampers you from the nose to the finish. This is how a rum should be.

Definitely in love with long pond 🤤
Review by zabo
Online tasting of various TECA and TECC organized by Mirco. First of all, many thanks for the great split to be able to try them all side by side. Now I had to readjust a few ratings.
Review by Aussierumfan
A beautiful rum with all the right notes! Deep, complex and flavoursome with lovely alcahol integration. Fruity, funky, glue with a touch of wood and a slight sweetness. I could definetly make this work as a daily sipper if I had a better supply 😅 a long finish.
Review by Leo Krüper
Great TECA, I liked it best from the NRJ TECA/C. Hardly any bitter tones, little wood, no sweetness either. Simply great umami notes.
Review by TheJackDrop
C’est Noël il faut fêter ça… alors pourquoi pas un Long Pond 2007 ? Évidemment les esters sont là, les fruits tropicaux très mûrs, mangue ananas. De la colle, des solvants mais pas à outrance. Un petit mordant d’alcool qui réveille, et une finale extra longue, très beurrée. Superbe.
Review by DaveLamb
nice LP, one of my favorite "Continental Flavoured". the most balanced and expressive one. heavy tropical furits, solvents, proper rubber, mild wood with cocoa/nuts and cozy caramel toffe. the sweet(toffee, caramel, sugar) is really appropriate. adding little water or oxidization can show more layers and sour cherry, sour fruits. (personal rating: teca 07: 91, tecc 07&stce 05: 89, teca 05: 86)
Review by Serge
Leckeres Tröpfchen. Mit der geilen Kombination aus Vanille, Holz, Tropischen Früchten, Leder, Lösungsmitteln, Nagellack, Leim, Curry-Grün, Umami und Holz, die ich bei tropisch gereiften High Ester Long Ponds so mag. Nicht so extrem verottend, wie der 2003 … ich mag beide sehr gerne.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
that's a real stunner of esters... 🤯 overripe banana, glue and burnt rubber with musty compost notes, as well as bacon and cream toffee are the most dominant... fortunately not as musty and composty as the 2003 Teca. At the very end there is an interesting note of bergamot, coconut and dark chocolate with some salt and bitterness, which again makes the whole thing very exciting and therefore also very good!
