The Velier National Rums of Jamaica 2007 Long Pond TECC Jamaica Velier is a remarkable 11-year-old Pot Still rum, distilled at the prestigious Long Pond Distillery and bottled by the independent bottler Velier. This limited release of 3325 bottles showcases the unique and legendary funky ester and fruity notes that Jamaican rum is known for.
The rum has a powerful aroma of glue, overripe fruits, banana, and a captivating bouquet of solvents and esters. On the palate, you'll experience an exceptional blend of ester, fruity, astringent, and sweet flavors that unfold into a delicious crescendo. This rum is a concentration of funk, heavy fermentation, and solvent, with a plasticky or petroleum-like approach that gives way to more refined exotic fruit, wood, tobacco, and almond notes.
The TECC 2007 boasts the highest ester count of the four rums released by Velier to demonstrate the character of both the Long Pond Distillery and Jamaican rum. It features tart fruity notes alongside acrylic nail extensions, polished oak, and rubber. The rum exhibits strong fermentation and vibrant fruit notes, with the punch of a thick, heavy rum. With a little air, exotic fruits like mangoes, papayas, and sweet fruits in syrup come through, supported by olives and dried meat, while maintaining its freshness and lightness.
The "Continental Flavoured" style of Jamaican rum has an ester level between 700 and 1600 grams per hectolitre of alcohol, focusing on fruit notes that alternate between very ripe tropical fruits and black fruit peels. The melasse comes through with wet wood and cardboard notes. The rum undergoes a slow fermentation with the addition of vinasse (dunder), resulting in an extremely heavy and powerful rum.
The Velier National Rums of Jamaica 2007 Long Pond TECC has an ABV of 62.5%.
