Long Pond distillery is situated in northern Jamaica, within Trelawny parish, and grew out of the consolidation of numerous estates in the late 19th century. Long Pond’s illustrious history includes several different marques, including CRV which ceased to be distilled in 2009 when the column that distilled this marque was significantly damaged. This 19-year-old Long Pond (CRV) was distilled in 2004 and aged in an ex-rum cask at origin before being transported to Europe in 2018 to mature for nearly six years.
This was one of the first casks we selected, working with North Point distillery, in the search for our first rum release. We were surprised by the colour this developed in an ex-rum cask and, after a few years of patient observation, we knew it was the right time to bottle this stunning expression of Long Pond.
The label is designed by Toronto-based illustrator James Tuer, whose personal work draws inspiration from 80s sci-fi, vintage travel posters and 90s comic book art. He has also worked with some incredible brands to create outstanding pieces.
This single barrel rum is non-chill filtered with no additives, yielding 256 bottles at a cask strength of 66.1% ABV.

Pelée’s Fury – Martinique Grand Arôme Rum
$40.00
Vividly aromatic and pungent, this Grand Arôme Rum from Le Galion Distillery is not for the weak! Its long vinasse-powered fermentation creates prodigious amounts of ester flavor compounds and notes of wild tropical fruits, black olives, candied prunes and salted almonds. Beware the power of this unadulterated Grand Arôme! -
Moongazer 9 yr Guyana Versailles Pot Still Rum
$45.00Over 250 yrs old, Diamond Distillery’s legendary Versailles still is one of only two wooden pot stills in existence (FIRE & WOOD aren’t a formula for longevity?!?) and this bottle is a classic example of its intoxicatingly pungent notes of raisin syrup, birdseed, mocha, charred banana, black tea and ozone.

Guardians (8 yr Trinidad Rum)
$45.00OUR TAKE: Guardians is the real sleeper in this lineup – Trinidad has produced some of the greatest rum in history (RIP, Caroni!) but also puts out a lot of so-so high volume juice so we didn’t enter the selection process assuming we’d come out with a “Trini”. And while the Foursquare and the Guyana were big, bold flashy candidates, this Trinidad kept popping up, refusing to be ignored (maybe because it’s over TWO THIRDS alcohol but drinks more like a 55 percenter). We succumbed to its fruity delights with absolutely zero regrets!
