Habitation Velier Long Pond Selected by LMDW STC❤️E 2005
Overripe pineapple, esters and glue on the nose, then a rounder side of toffee, tobacco and dried fruit once it opens. Members keep calling this a top-tier Long Pond — 16 years of tropical aging gives it real body, and at 65% the alcohol sits surprisingly well. One taster caught brioche and honey; another loved the "long and complex" finish that turns woody before circling back to fruit.
The community says- Overripe pineapple
- Great ABV integration
- Long complex finish

Aggregated from 35 community reviews.
Rich, tropical-aged pot-still Long Pond Loved across the board — fruity, funky and richly aged, with the high proof beautifully integrated. A couple of tasters felt the finish ran a touch light next to the rest.

Review by Mando
A delight. Magnificent! Beautiful balance, very greedy, a little brioche with esters. Favorite 😍
Review by Santo
Une salade de fruits impressionnante avec une gourmandise extra. La maturation est parfaite et l'ABV magnifiquement bien intégré, c'est très gouleyant. Long Pond grand cru !!
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Velier really knows how to pick them. Another great release that is well balanced and great ABV integration. Fruity and funky with a nice mix of ester and wood. At release the price was really good and it has already gone up quite a bit since then. Delicious 😊
Review by alex
Magnificent, what a treat. Among the best long pond that I could taste. And what a length...endless. 😍😍😍
Review by Mirco
Very nice, round and typical Jamaican. Brings apart from much fruit and ester of everything.
Review by Oliver
Incredibly concentrated and intense due to the tropical maturation.
Review by Joe95
Being a fan of the Mark STCE with an ester level that is neither too high nor too low (in my opinion), this is one of the best long ponds I have tasted. A perfectly integrated alcohol and a great length. A must taste !
Review by Arnaud Faverjon
Très beau Long Pond, des esters, du fruit, un profil vraiment riche, juste un peu déçu par la finale un peu légère par rapport au reste, mais c’est vraiment un très beau produit!
Review by Speedflo
Very balanced and full-bodied LP. Compared to the 2005, even more wood and spice notes, ester notes rather in the background but still present. Very tasty
Review by Benoit Mahe
A Long Pond which combines greediness and Jamaican fruits. Hard stuck this is the ideal rum but it lacks something dying
