The Velier National Rums of Jamaica Long Pond ITP-15 is a 15-year-old rum from the renowned Long Pond Distillery in Jamaica, celebrated for producing high-quality Jamaican Rum. This exceptional rum is distilled in John Dore pot stills and boasts a light ester count of 90-120 g/hL AA. As the first old rum officially bottled by the distillery, which has a rich history dating back to the 18th century, it marks a significant milestone. Long Pond Distillery was previously known for selling its rums to brokers and blenders.
Aged for 15 years in American oak barrels, the ITP-15 rum has developed a complex aroma and flavor profile while staying true to its funky Jamaican style. The rum offers a delightful combination of pastry and mineral flavors, followed by the rich taste of an English-style rum with ripe exotic fruits, a coppery and almost salty sensation, and notes of pits, black cherries, and resin. With aeration, it reveals a touch of acidity, leading to mineral and copper notes, and a slight hint of tar before gliding naturally towards a pastry-like sweetness.
The rum's aroma immediately transports you to an exotic garden filled with the thick, humid air of flowers and colorful fruits. The exotic fruits harmonize beautifully, creating a unique and unforgettable scent experience. The Long Pond ITP-15 is an authentic expression of Jamaican rum, highlighting the versatility and iconic status of Long Pond rums. This first official release from the distillery was presented on International Rum Day by the National Rums of Jamaica (NRJ).

Overall: The Velier National Rums of Jamaica Long Pond ITP-15 offers a complex and nuanced experience, blending tropical fruit sweetness with spicy warmth and a hint of bitterness.
The reviewers generally praise the Long Pond ITP-15 for its inviting nose and complex aroma, highlighting notes of tropical fruits, banana, and vanilla. While the palate is velvety and well-balanced with a blend of fruits, oak, and spices, some felt it lacked depth and fullness, especially towards the finish. Although the rum is pleasant and easy to drink, some reviewers believe it does not fully justify its premium price tag. However, it still stands out for its harmonious and intense flavors, making it a noteworthy addition to any rum collection.
