The Mark Matters
Jamaican distilleries track flavor by "mark" — recipes of fermentation and distillation — and ITP is one of Long Pond's prized high-ester pot-still marks, in the 90–120 gr/hlpa range. Fifteen years of tropical aging concentrates everything: the angels take more, and what's left is deeper. An official distillery release like this is the reference point every independent Long Pond bottling gets judged against. Explore the Long Pond collection or shop more rum at Del Mesa.
Tasting Notes
Sweet and spicy on the nose — cumin, turmeric, oak, slight citrus; spicy on the palate with a clear cedar note; a sweet, rich, fruity finish (Home of Malts).
How to Enjoy
Neat, with a few minutes in the glass — high-ester Jamaican rum opens dramatically with air. Numbered bottles like this one belong in the collection and the rotation.
