From the back of the bottle:
This heavy marque was created by Simon Thompson at Cambridge Estate. It was transferred to Long Pond Distillery where it is still produced and denotes an ester content of 500-700 g/hlpa. This single cask was distilled in 2007 and has been aged in ex-bourbon cask for 15 years at the distillery in Trelawny, Jamaica. It has been bottled at cask strength with no adulteration for the American market.

As an FYI, I bought and use these Glencairn glasses for everything (they’re the best): Glencairn Crystal Whiskey Glass Set of 6, Set of 4, Set of 2, or just one. Full transparency, this is an affiliate link, so I may earn a commission if you buy this or something else from Amazon.

Habitation Velier Long Pond STCE 15 Year Rum taste and aftertaste
I’ve unfortunately lost some Glencairn’s while in transit, and that made me very sad. So, I wised up and bought this Glencairn Travel Case that comes also comes with 2 glasses so I don’t need to worry so much about them breaking. I think it’s great, and I think you’ll love it too.
Seriously, if you already have glasses, protect them.Habitation Velier Long Pond STCE 15 Year Rum Rating
I have far too much fun writing about whiskey and singlehandedly running The Whiskey Shelf to bring you independent, honest, and useful reviews, comparisons, and more. I’m proudly Asian American and can speak Cantonese, Mandarin, and some Japanese.
There are no sponsors, no media companies, and no nonsense. Support The Whiskey Shelf by Buying Me A Shot.Shattered glass really sucks, so if you’re on the move, this Glencairn-like stainless steel snifter glass should survive your travels.
