The Habitation Velier Long Pond STCE White Rum is a high-ester rum from the renowned Long Pond distillery in Jamaica, expertly bottled by Habitation Velier in 2018. Known for its high ester content, ranging between 550-700 grams per hectoliter of pure alcohol, this rum stands as one of the many "marks" or brands produced by the distillery. With only 8,654 bottles available, this rum is a rare and exceptional find.
The STCE mark is characterized by its powerful, concentrated, and explosive nature, boasting a complex aroma that is both alluring and intriguing. Initial notes of solvent and metal transition to a bouquet of fruits including prunes, plums, and cherries, along with vegetal and medicinal undertones. Over time, the aroma evolves to reveal wild and spicy fruits, accompanied by a hint of brininess reminiscent of olive brine.
On the palate, the rum is rich and full-bodied, with notes of pear, peach, Mirabelle plums, coconut, vanilla, and cinnamon. The finish is long-lasting, with the fruit and spice notes lingering on the tongue, creating a truly memorable tasting experience.
This rum is not for the faint of heart, given its high alcohol content (62.5% ABV) and intense flavor profile. However, for those who appreciate a complex and challenging spirit, the Habitation Velier Long Pond STCE White Rum offers an unforgettable sensory journey. Whether enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or mixed in a cocktail, this rum is a testament to the art of rum-making and the distinct character of Jamaican terroir.

This white rum offers a truly intriguing experience, with many reviewers noting its similarity to a white Agricole rum. The nose is intensely fruity, with notes of bubblegum, banana, and a variety of berries, such as raspberry, blackberry, and strawberry. Underpinning these fruity notes are elements of spring water, freshly brewed tea, old hay barn, and black olives. On the palate, the rum is sweet, with a progression to fruity and finally a dominant spiced finish. The alcohol content, although high, is generally well integrated, allowing the complexity of flavors to shine through.
Reviewers have also highlighted the rum's complexity, with flavors of banana, pineapple, mango, pear, peach, and green apple, all sweetened and candied, giving an impression of candy. The characteristic Jamaican empyreumatic notes such as rubber, smoke, metal, and tar are present along with a delightful touch of cream and fruit cake. Overall, this rum is considered very complex, with a rich and diverse flavor profile that makes it a standout among unaged Jamaican rums.
