Long Pond S.B.S Jamaica (Single Origin Rum) TECA
Glue, nail polish and pineapple hit first — this is an unaged Long Pond TECA that fills the room with fruity esters. The palate is warm at 57%, funky, with banana, marzipan and a smoky-dry turn on the finish. Several tasters happily sip it neat; even more reach for it in a daiquiri or Mai Tai where the funk cuts through.
The community says- Big fruity esters
- Great cocktail base
- Sharp-edged neat

How does Long Pond S.B.S Jamaica (Single Origin Rum) TECA taste?
Aggregated from 87 community reviews.
Funky unaged Jamaican, great in a daiquiri Well-liked high-ester Jamaican that punches above its weight. Most drink it in cocktails, some sip it neat; a few find it too sharp, vinegary or metallic on its own.

Most helpful positive review
Loving long ponds, I decided to purchase a white. I expected more marzipan, which I love in its aged counterpart, however it is a remarkable white. Complex, strong in the solvent part, but never overdone. Olive and esters on the nose. In the mouth solvents and a fleeting roasted/smoky note. On the finish pineapple and lychee, medium-long duration.Whites for me must have a different evaluation than amber.

Well, it's not really my cup of tea on its own. Certainly not too bad as a mixer. Edit: had it again as a mixer for a CubaLibre in a glass. It cuts a better figure here. But even there it can't really convince me
Review by DomM
White TECA-off SBS origins vs. for CB! Well… I guess they just come from the same tank. Can’t really find any significant difference here 😁 Side-by-side versus the SBS TECC, this one is significantly more fruity. I guess as is true for Hampden‘s marks, also for LP not only the ester level but also the composition of esters seems to change significantly between the TECA -> TECC marks.
Review by Galli33
Funk, Fruit, Ester, Wild🤤 yummy Nose: Delicious and Intense Jamaica feeling 🫨a lot of overwhelming ester! Some fruits in a bowl of nail polish and solvents. Mouth: Fruity and delicious. The alcohol is integrated well too. Finish: is quite long estery and floral
Review by Serge
Night tasting of the TECC/TECA Community Tastings by Mirco. Today: the three unaged ones. As expected with the two Marks, the rums are not entirely dissimilar and all the expected markers are there 😉 Nose: Rum 1 most pastry/bacon, rum 2 more fruity, rum 3 most fermented. Favortite: Rum 1, then 3 then 2 Palate: Rum 1 the warmest and thickest, rum 2 more stone fruit, rum 3 very dry. For my taste, 1> 2 > 3 applies here Overall, 1 is clearly the best for me, then 3 and 2 at the end - but without much distance. All delicious. Resolution: Rum1 = rx13569 SBS Origins TECA Rum 2 = rx13378 SBS Origins TECC Rum 3 = rx12601 Warehouse#1 TECA
Review by Johannes
Typical Teca with nice ester and fruity notes.
Review by Oliver
In the Daiquiri it lacks a bit of power.
Review by Frank
A good idea to bottle the well-known ester monsters in "raw form". Compared to the aged TECA, the esters and marzipan dominate here, while the aged colleague adds finer fruit and caramel tones.Nose: intense, fresh and funky. Esters and solvents with glue, immediately followed by fierce marzipan and pineapple. A bit of lime comes in. Clear announcement, but that's all it needs.Palate: intense and warm, almost soft. A bit dry and slightly bitter at first, but then a wave of esters and pineapple marzipan comes in. Gets really sweet with hints of raspberry and banana. Out the back more chamomile and anise. In the finish, however, the pineapple marzipan dominates again.Der makes fun. I like, matured better. Definitely a good mixer.
Review by Christian Rudt
Beautiful white TECA for the cocktail world but can also be relaxed sippen. Nice that there is more and more choice 👍
Review by Banana Joe
High Ester Bombe von Long Pond. Bin mittlerweile ein Freund davon, viele Rums auch mal unaged zu probieren. Schon Wahnsinn, was Holz und Lagerung für einen Einfluss haben können. Für mich absolut auch pur zu genießen, freue mich aber auch darauf, den Mal in diversen Cocktails zu testen.
Review by Timo Groeger
Ein netter Long Pond von S.B.S. In der Nase schön viel Ester, Lösungsmittel, Nagellack und Ananas. Am Gaumen dann sehr funktioniert, wieder viel Ester, außerdem wieder Ananas und auch Lack ist erkennbar.
Review by Basti
Blind verkostet im Rahmen des Community Tastings Long Pond TECA/TECC: Sehr florale und blumig, aber auch jede Menge Ester, Klebstoff, etwas Frucht, aber eher unreif bzw. Zitrusfrüchte. Macht vermutlich als Mixer eine gute Figur.
Review by Thunderbird
Mircos Blind-Tasting TECA/TECC Nr.1: Ein unaged Long Pond der milderen und angenehmen Art. Der Alkohol ist recht gut eingebunden und nicht sehr hoch. Ester und Lösungsmittel sind deutlich wahrnehmbar. Auch leichte tropische Früchte sind erkennbar. Das Aromenspiel setzt sich am Gaumen fort. Der Abgang ist mehr auf der esterigen Seite. Er dürfte ein guter Mixer sein
Review by Leo Krüper
Mixer, zum pur trinken eher ungeeignet. Recht geradlinig ohne viel Finesse.
Review by primus
Wirklich geiles Zeug. Per Gewohnheit erstmal an der Flasche geschnuppert - Fruchtsalat. Im Glas kippt der Geruch dann ins Klebstoffparadies, mit viel estrigen Früchten aber auch grasig-pflanzlichen Noten, die wohl typisch für ungealtertes Produkt sind. Der Gaumen baut hervorragend auf der Nase auf, wirklich ein klasse Tropfen für Leute die es funky mögen.
Review by Rumpalumpa
Der erste ungelagerte Rum der mir pur tatsächlich schmeckt. An der Nase gehen primär Lösemittel, die ester gehen eher in die herzhafte Richtung. Am Gaumen aber eine überraschende Süße und fruchtig-würzig
Review by TheJackDrop
I wasn't really expecting this! On the nose, there's almost nothing but glue, solvents and maybe a little lime, but then it's a slap in the face with a little more fruit, esters that heat up strongly, and a finish that's a little on the grape skin, perhaps, and lasts a long time. Simple, a little too straightforward, but effective, at €35 a bottle in Germany...
Review by Joël
Of course, never comes to the matured TECA ran, but also costs much less (just under 60.- CHF). For me, the PLV is definitely right and if he tastes me pure no longer just gives good cocktails.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Fetches me unfortunately neither in daiquiri nor pure. Hardly fruit, too much vinegar, varnish and metallic without end. Too bad
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This is a very nice ester bomb to start the weekend. Not a DOK but still a pretty good high ester rum. Thinking about the price tag you get a lot here. Fresh as well as intense with ester and fruits. There is a roasted note on the palate i can't put my finger on, but it enhances the overall profile in my mind.
