LONG POND 12 Year Old 2010 CAMBRIDGE STCE, 57% ABV

Records dating from 1780 mention the production of 85 puncheons (approximately 500-litre casks) of rum, attesting to the long history of this distillery which is today owned by the government-run National Rums of Jamaica.

This version was distilled in a Vendôme pot still and has an ester content of 550-700 g per hectolitre of pure alcohol, making it part of the STCE category. With resplendent brilliance and elegance, like a book that is impossible to put down, from chapter to chapter its flavour and aroma palette tells the enthralling story behind the distillery.

4,900 bottles worldwide.

Key Information

Serving Suggestions
First things first, be comfortable, relaxed and free from distractions. Pour a healthy amount (15-25ml) into a nosing glass (e.g., glencairn) and let it sit for a while. We recommend a minute of resting in the glass for every year in the cask. Otherwise, let it settle down for 5-10 minutes at least.

Help yourself to a 'warm up dram' in the meantime - something simple to open up the palate. When ready, start nosing the spirit, followed by sipping it (noting how it arrives on your palate and its development), and finally the finish. Take your time to get to know the spirit, noting its expression, character, depth, complexity and flavours. These can all change with adding drops of water so play around to find different sides of the spirit and identity a personal sweet spot for yourself!

But always remember, the best way to drink it is the way you like it!
