The Whisky Jury Long Pond The Many Faces of Rum STC❤️E 2015
Sipped neat with a good rest in the glass, this young Long Pond throws nail polish, glue and overripe tropical fruit at you, with marzipan and vanilla underneath. The alcohol is surprisingly well-tucked for 62%, but the finish turns woody and a touch bitter, showing its age. A splash of water rounds it off. Several tasters also called it a fun Mai Tai rum.
The community says- High-ester funk

How does The Whisky Jury Long Pond The Many Faces of Rum STC❤️E 2015 taste?
Aggregated from 72 community reviews.
Young, funky Long Pond with a bitter tail Well-liked as a fruity, funky young Long Pond with esters and marzipan, and alcohol that sits nicely. The common catch: a slightly rough, bitter finish and less depth than older bottlings.

Review by Thunderbird
Arrived today (many thanks to Dr. Django) and tasted it straight away. And I have to say, it's fun. On the nose it is pleasantly fermented and fruity with a slightly sweet ester. It is smooth on the palate (the alcohol is well integrated) and initially releases sweet fruity aromas. These then change to a slightly woody, spicy side. The finish is of medium length. Compared to the older bottlings, it lacks a little of the complexity to be at the very top. Nevertheless, it remains a great bottling!

Franchement très surprenant , Autant d’arôme autant d’expression pour un jus aussi jeune. Vraiment superbe On retrouve facilement les marqueurs long pond habituels C’est explosif en bouche, Plein d’arôme Une vraie petite bombe 😍😍😍

#5043 10.01.2025 Enjoying some samples at home. Nose Medium intense, light wood, fruity, overripe, banana, spice, light glue, light ester. Palate Warm, round, balanced, light wood, faint smoke, fruity, overripe, light floral, light glue, light banana, medium spicy, spice. Finish Long and warm, light wood, fruits, light citrus, medium spicy. The empty glass has nice fruit, faint chocolate, light floral and light citrus notes. Needs to rest for a good while to really open up properly.
Review by RumTaTa
An der Glaswand bilden sich große träge hinabrinnende Tränen. Die Nase ist zuerst alkoholisch, viel Nagellack und Kleber. Dazwischen oder vielmehr dahinter fruchtige Ester. Ein wenig Ähnlichkeit mit länger gelagerten Long Pond Abfüllungen kann ich erahnen. Am Gaumen mehr Long Pond DNA in Form von Umami-Noten. Nachklang dann weniger vielfältig aber trotzdem gut. Ein sehr guter junger, intensiver Long Pond, der von langer Standzeit vor dem Genuss profitiert und m.M.n zu früh in die Flasche kam.
Review by Dr.Django
A relatively young Long Pond in which the alcohol is excellently integrated! It does what it should and I don't expect much more here. Funky Jamaican with tropical fruits, very intense and astringent on the palate, but never unpleasantly spicy.
Review by Basti
The nose brings a lot of ester and glue, plus some vanilla, caramel and overripe/fermented tropical fruit. The palate also has esters, some glue and tropical fruit. Could have stayed in the barrel a little longer for my taste.
Review by Schnubbii
Banana and nail polish on the nose. Then also on the palate, and slightly fleshy. A little water does it a lot of good, opening it up noticeably and making it pleasant to drink. Unfortunately, the finish is still a little sharp and not particularly long. Nevertheless, for me it's a tasty piece that surprised me positively, as the STC<3E profile is not really my thing. The sample is enough for me personally though, I don't need a whole bottle of this.
Review by Jarek
Franconian Rum Tasting Gang 19.04.2024 Der TWJ wurde zusammen mit den STCEs von NRJ verkostet (ja, nicht gsnz Fair). Der TWJ ist schon optisch deutlich helller und der Eindruck setz sich in Nase und am Gaumen fort. Er ist aber trotz des jungen Alters ein sehr leckerer, unkomplizierter Rum.
Review by F.L.O.
Den Freund habe ich blind verkostet und musste bei der Nase direkt an den 2001er LPS von Long Pond denken. Dass ich mit Long Pond richtig lag war wohl Zufall. Aber echt ein tolles Teil. Schön Ester und Marzipan, dazu super eingebundener Alkohol, macht Spaß.
Review by Martin Ekrt
Jemná vůně esterů, červeného ovoce. Žádná dělovka do nosu jako u nestařeného STCE. Po napití už ale o sobě estery dají vědět. Tělo je takové divočejší. Kontinentální zrání? Závěr se mi ale líbí. Chtělo by to ještě přídavek😀
Review by Filip Lojín
There is a hint of LP in the aroma, but the taste is too sharp and alcoholic for me. It's a young 7-year-old rum. It could do with more years. Still, it's an excellent dram, but I'm used to something different from LP. It lacks the typical aftertaste of a tropical LP where there is rubber, asphalt. Nothing here.
Review by zabo
Franconian Tasting Gang on 19.04.2024 In the next unequal battle, two STC♡E of TWJ2015 and the top dog Cambridge 2005 (13yr) compete. Unfortunately, there is a clear difference in color, taste and intensity. But the TWJ still has a certain charm.
Review by Galli33
Gorgeous funky LP Jamica feeling🤤 I‘m loving it😍 Thanks to Banana Joe for this cool sample. Here you get a young jamaica Rum will all the lovely high ester, fruit, marzipan, glue and nail polish notes, pickling with some oak chips.
Review by Boletus
Dieser eher junge Long Pond bringt mit einer ordentlichen Esterladung die Geschmacksrezeptoren auf Hochtouren. Die etwas zu frisch wirkende, röstige Eiche sorgt mit ihren Tanninen für ein paar Bitterstoffe, die allerdings den Spaß im Glas kaum einzutrüben vermögen.
Review by Mentalo
Leicht bitteres Mundgefühl, etwas holzig, tropische Früchte, leichte Esternoten. Der Abgang dann noch mal erstaunlich viele Bitternoten. Alkohol ist gut eingebunden. Fehlt leider etwas die Komplexität.
Review by Filip Šikula
Jeden z mladších long pondů, které jsem měl zatím možnost pít a podobně jako ten od habitationu mě mile překvapil. Vyvážený ovicný nos s tómy odlakovače. V ústech vyvážené, ovocné, tak akorát technické a příjemně hřejivé.
Review by Rado Vito
This is not a typical technical Long Pond, that is why I like it. 😂
Review by DomM
Pleasantly surprised on the nose. This is much more balanced than I expected given the low age. Very nice hints of marzipan and honey alongside quite some intense tropical fruits. Yet there are also some herbs and a solid pinch of chemical notes like glue and nailpolish. On the palate it also starts of quite nice and approachable with wood, fruits and bit of ester-ey goodness. Towards the finish, however, it does show its young(er) age with some harshness and a very woody and bitter finish, missing out on the decent complexity from the start. Positively surprised by this one, overall.
Review by Serge
Leckerer Rum aber weit entfernt von der obszönen Reichhaltigkeit der tropisch gelagerten NRJ STCEs. Dennoch eine nette Nase mit Vanille, tropischen Früchten und Lösungsmitteln. Auch am Gaumen nicht schlecht … aber wie gesagt … im Vergleich zu den NRJs eher enttäuschend.
Review by Adrian Wahl
Ganz lecker aber schon relativ jung. 82/100 für mich
