Romdeluxe Long Pond Distillery Series Rum No. 1 TECC 2023
High-ester Long Pond diehards are the target here. Nail polish, glue, solvent and pineapple hit first, then overripe tropical fruit, young virgin oak and licorice once it breathes. At 85.3% it's astringent and biting, "very much brutal" as one taster put it — yet most agree the alcohol is shockingly well integrated. Give it plenty of air.
The community says- Massive ester funk
- Great ABV integration
- Very astringent

Aggregated from 32 community reviews.
Brutal, funky ester monster at 85.3% Members love it as a raw ester monster with surprisingly good ABV integration and long fruity finish. A few find it too young and short on complexity, and nobody calls it easy.

Might be the best Jamaican I've had. It really surprised me. Really good intensity and funk from the high-ester rum, with an impressive balance and complexity from the just 7 month continental aging in a small virgin cask. I had to buy two bottles and can only rate it up the among the best Demerara rums I've had from Velier. Both the nose and the taste is just wonderful. Try it if you can!

02.03.2024 Retasting at Whiskymessen and I stick to my score. ---------------------- #4522 14.12.2023 Went to visit Whisky Watcher in Odense for a very intimate tasting. This one is the bomb. The have hit the mark with the Virgin oak maturing. Very fruity with nice esters and a touch of licorice. The palate is nice and oily with fruits and nice licorice at the end. The finish is very long, dry and warm with stronger licorice notes. Very good ABV integration and beautiful curtains in the glass.
Review by HenryL
Probiert auf der Hanse Spirit 2024 Mit den 85,3% ein absolutes Brett. Aber wie auch bei den vorigen Abfüllungen in dem ABV Bereich super eingebunden und geschmacklich sehr intensiv. Er ist sehr geschmeidig im Mund und hängt noch lange nach. Kann für mich nicht ganz mit dem etwas geschmeidigeren HGML mithalten, aber dennoch eine super Abfüllung!
Review by Thunderbird
This LP TECC packs quite a punch, but in a positive way. Ester and co. dominate the nose, of course, but subtle fruity notes (citrus/papaya) and a ginger/maggi mix are also perceptible. Top. On the palate, the over 80% cannot be ignored, but it doesn't have to be. After a short bite, a beautiful funkiness develops from esters, sour fruit, young wood and roasted aromas. That fits. The finish is quite long with a slight sweetness. A great bottling and a great start to the new RomdeLuxe series PS: the longer it stays in the glass, the better it gets. So give it a little more time Edit: Tasted again today in Mirco's blind tasting... my rating remains the same
Review by Frank
Tried it at HanseSpirit 2024 and it really blew me away. TECC is a real treat for me anyway, just my thing. And if these crazy high %% are so well integrated, then I should take some more time for it. So I took a small sample with me. Nose: very intense, as expected. Ester with lots of fruit and buttery-caramel sweetness, almost toffee. If you give it some time in the glass, pineapple, passion fruit, kiwi and lemon appear. The lemon is somewhat reminiscent of washing-up liquid. The esters change from nail polish to vinegar to umami and there is even a slight smokiness at the very end. The %% is there, but very well integrated. Wow, 8.8 Palate: fierce, but fiercely good. The most intense esters. More is not possible. 1600! Very astringent, very warm and slightly bitter at the beginning. Then come the overripe fruit components of pineapple and kiwi with citrus. Sweetness of pineapple marzipan, also slightly woody at the back. Sure, the high ABV also burns properly, but overall you don't have the feeling of having over 85% in your mouth. That's why it scores 8.7. Crazy and at the same time great that RdL has the courage to bottle something like this (once again). Thanks for that! Addendum: even after brushing your teeth twice and having a coffee in the morning, you still have these esters in your gums, crazy.
Review by Master P
Er hat mich wirklich überrascht. Wirklich gute Intensität und Funk aus dem hochprozentigen Rum, mit einer beeindruckenden Ausgewogenheit und Komplexität aus der nur 7-monatigen kontinentalen Reifung in einem kleinen unberührten Fass. Sowohl die Nase als auch der Geschmack sind einfach top. Ich glaub da muss ich mir noch eine Flasche zulegen.
Review by Johannes
Phew, the alcohol is really well integrated for the 85%. Another extraordinary ester monster!
Review by Leo Krüper
Ein Exot. Volle Breitseite Lack und Ester. Gefällt mir sehr gut.
Review by DomM
Wow. This is very much brutal. Starts off intense and chemical with lots of esters (not much fruits though) on the nose. With some time in the glas vanilla and coconut from the cask show up Very strong and adstringent on the palate. Here you can see some influence of the Virgin oak (vanilla, sweetness) and a quite some fruity notes - again after some the to breath. Nice to see bottlings with this high ABV and craziness in the market, yet this doesn’t nearly excite me as much as the RdL HGML Virgin oak bottlings.

Online tasting of various TECA and TECC organized by Mirco. First of all, many thanks for the great split to be able to try them all side by side. Now I had to readjust a few ratings.
Review by Serge
Nachverkostung von Mirco’s Long Pond Teca/Tecc Community Tasting. Habe als nächsten die Nummer 9 ausgewählt, weil mir der von der Nase der verbleibenden 5-9 am wenigsten gefällt bzw. Nur Kontinental gelagert riecht. Sehr stechend mit viel Lösungsmitteln, Kleber, Nagellack, Ester … wenig Holz, Gewürz oder Frucht. Am Gaumen etwas besser, aber immernoch nicht meins. Zu aggresiv, fast ungelagert. Maximal 1 Jahr (wenn überhaupt) im Fass. Mag ich nicht. Evtl. Als Beigabe für Cocktails. Freue mich auf die (hoffentlich) tropischen 😉
