Long Pond Rum

Long Pond is a name rum geeks whisper with respect – the state-owned Jamaican distillery in Clarendon producing some of the world's most extreme, ester-rich pot still rums. Marks like TECA and STCE have become legendary among collectors for their funky, almost overwhelming intensity in raw form, which only turns to magic once balanced in a blend or aged for years. This is rum for people who want character with no filter.

  • Bottle of Bellamy's Reserve Rum Jamaica Pot Still Rum
    Item no.: 2222-280333

    Longpond and Clarendon - two of Jamaica's most iconic pot still distilleries - come together in this rum with the classic Jamaican funk.

    Expert description

    Bellamy's Reserve Rum Jamaica Pot Still is a Rum with distinct Jamaican character, produced through pot still distillation from Longpond and Clarendon, bottled at 43%.

    Pot still distillation gives the rum both depth, fullness and plenty of aromatic power. It leans on the classic Jamaican style with fruitiness, esters and a natural, lightly funky edge, while remaining rounded and easy to drink at its moderate strength. There is a discreet note of fermented fruit and cane juice, giving the rum its authentic pot still profile.

    Bellamy's Reserve Rum specialises in carefully selected rum releases with a focus on clear distillation character and origin. The Jamaica Pot Still release is a natural choice for those who want the raw, characterful Jamaican style without the extreme ester strength found in the heaviest releases.

    Sixteen years in Scotland after distillation in Jamaica – a journey that gives the rum an entirely distinctive, funky character.

    Expert description

    Sample 3 cl Long Pond Distillery 2000/2016 Silver Seal 16 Year is a Jamaica Rum distilled at the Long Pond distillery in 2000, bottled by the Italian bottler Silver Seal in 2016 and released at 51% in a small 3 cl sample format.

    Because the rum spent all 16 years maturing in Scotland's temperate climate after being shipped from Jamaica, it develops a different, more restrained cask influence than rum matured entirely in the tropics. Long Pond is known for its "funky", ester-rich style, and the long maturation gives this particular release a complexity that draws on the best of both climates.

    Tasting notes

    Nose

    Banana, papaya and lemon with a tangy ester character and a syrupy sweetness.

    Palate

    Spiced with cumin, bacon, clove and ester, complemented by a touch of molasses.

    Finish

    Funky with nutmeg and a metallic undertone.

About Long Pond

Long Pond is a historic distillery in Jamaica, known for producing some of the world's most flavour-intense pot still rums.

History & Background

The distillery's roots go back to the 1700s and it is a central part of Jamaica's rich rum history. The Long Pond distillery sits in the parish of Clarendon, Jamaica, where the island's sugar plantations laid the foundation for a thriving rum industry. Today the distillery is state-owned and operates as part of National Rums of Jamaica, but its reputation rests chiefly on its extreme 'marks', named recipes each with their own unique ester level, distilled on traditional pot stills. Marks such as TECA and STCE in particular have achieved cult status among rum collectors for their extremely high ester content, and some Long Pond releases have historically ranked among the most ester-rich rums ever distilled.

Production & Style

The rum is distilled on traditional pot stills with a high ester concentration, giving it a very powerful, funky character.

Signature Style

Funky, Intense, Full-Bodied
The taste offers an intense, funky character with a full-bodied, powerful finish.
