The Long Pond distillery is an emblematic institution of Jamaica, founded at the end of the 18th century when Simon Clarke, a baronet in exile, inherited the property as a marriage dowry. In 1921, it entered a new era with the acquisition by Sheriff & Co, initiating a series of mergers that led to the creation of the Trelawny Estate in 1955. In 1977, the distillery was nationalized and renamed The National Sugar Company of Long Pond Ltd., managed by the National Rum of Jamaica. Privatized around 1993, its sugar mill and distillery later separated, the latter being acquired by Everglades Farms, also owner of the famous Hampden distillery. It was only in 2012 that Long Pond rums were marketed under their own brand, highlighting a unique heritage. Located in old buildings full of history, the distillery uses five pot stills meticulously modified over time, as well as specific fermentation tanks, ensuring production of impeccable and incomparable quality.
This Long Pond STCE white rum, bottled by Velier, stands out for its exceptional level of esters, ranging between 550 and 700 g\/hl of pure alcohol, a typical characteristic of the most expressive Jamaican rums. On the nose and palate, it reveals a powerful and complex character, the result of a rich and tumultuous history, enhanced by a natural and raw elegance. This rum embodies the soul of Jamaica, offering an intense and authentic sensory experience, ideal for connoisseurs and enthusiasts seeking originality and premium quality.
