The Selected by LMDW STCE is a unique and limited Jamaican rum produced at Long Pond distillery and bottled by the independent Habitation Velier. Distilled in 2010 from molasses using a pot still and aged for 11 years, this rum boasts an impressive ABV of 60% with a highly limited release of only 331 bottles. With prominent notes of leather, pineapple, sour cherry, passion fruit, and esters, it reveals a complex and intense flavor profile that includes hints of vanilla, pineapple, mango, overripe banana, and tropical fruits. This rum offers a rich, full-bodied taste with an excellent balance of fruitiness, sweetness, and esters, making it perfect for lovers of intense and unique Jamaican rums.
This particular bottling pays homage to the Cambridge Estate Distillery, which closed in 1947, and falls under the STCE category, featuring a high ester content ranging between 550 and 700 grams per hectoliter of pure alcohol (G/HLAP). The tropical maturation in ex-bourbon barrels for 11 years has imparted deep, smoky notes and a distinctive profile, ensuring a memorable experience for experienced rum enthusiasts.
Upon nosing, the rum reveals heavy, smoky notes followed by hints of solvent and burnt rubber, transitioning into an intense bouquet of exotic fruits, leather, tobacco, and roasted cocoa beans. The palate offers a bold entrance with burnt, tar-like flavors alongside camphor, leading to a harmonious blend of tropical fruits such as mango and banana, combined with vanilla. The finish echoes the initial smoky notes with roasted cocoa and burnt caramel, boasting a long-lasting impression.
Highly praised with a rating of 88, this Long Pond 2010 expression is noted for its complexity and bold flavors. It is an exceptional offering that showcases the craftsmanship of Long Pond distillery and the expertise of revered spirits curators, La Maison du Whisky and Habitation Velier.
