SINGLE CASK, AGED RUM - JAMAICA

A true aged Jamaican rarity, produced at the Long Pond Distillery located in the Trelawny parish, well known for their rum production. 

This particular rum marque LSO (which is the same marque of rum as the ITP) was produced and distilled in the historic John Dore pot still and is one of the lighter variations of pot still productions used by the distillery. This rum has an average ester count of 90-120 esters per g/hL and is categorised as a "common clean" rum.

The Long Pond distillery's history and heritage date back as far as 1753, similar to that of Hampden Estate. These two distilleries shaped much of Jamaica’s sugar and rum legacy. Trelawny province — especially Hampden and Long Pond — is now renowned for its ester-rich pot still rums, a hallmark of Jamaican style production.

This rum was distilled in July 1998 and matured in American oak for 10 years in Jamaica, then imported to the UK in 2008 and refilled into American oak for further maturation. The cask now rests in bond in the UK.

Organoleptic Evaluation

On The Nose: The aroma is light, very approachable, rich tropical fruit notes, with floral hints, lemon drizzle cake, caramelising sugar and charred oak. 

On the Palate: The rum feels less crowded, with pronounced baking and wood spices working through to citrus zest. It feels well balanced on the palate with wood and rich tropical fruit complexity, grilled banana and chocolate flavours develop. 

The Finish: The finish is of good length, influenced by the tropical fruit and charred oak notes from the nose, with lingering hints of banana and spice, smooth finish with a touch of chocolate, caramel, vanilla and coconut notes.

Please note that specific tasting notes may vary slightly depending on the cask selection and individual palate.
