Cuvée presentation

Long Pond aged rum (mark STCE) distilled in 2019 and bottled by Velier as part of its Habitation Velier collection in 2022. The collection celebrates the stills used to distil the rum. Velier was founded by Casimir Chaix in Genoa in 1947. It was a small family business that imported and distributed wine and spirits. In 1986, Luca Gargano, a former representative of Saint James and a great connoisseur and collector of rum, acquired the company and launched its trading activities, initially with whisky in 1992 and rum in 1996. Gargano bottled its first Demerara that same year. In 2004 his friend Yesu Persaud, then Chairman of DDL, invited Gargano to Demerara Distillers Limited (DDL) in Guyana to select casks. This partnership came to an end in 2015 when Mr Persaud retired, but all the rums bottled in the meantime have become iconic. The same applies to the casks of Caroni, which he bought in 2005, two years after the distillery had closed, following a visit to Trinidad to take photographs with Fredi Marcarini the previous year. These two bottling lineages have established Velier’s reputation, and the company is now also renowned for its work in other Caribbean territories such as Barbados, Jamaica, Haiti and Marie-Galante. The distinctive feature of the rums selected by Velier is that they have only been matured in a tropical climate, resulting in considerable aromatic concentration and a considerable angels’ share. He generally bottles them either at cask strength or with slight reductions.

The distillery Long Pond

The Long Pond distillery was founded in Trelawny in 1753, some 12 miles from Hampden, and is named after a mountain in the north of Jamaica. Seagram’‘s CEO Samuel Bronfman bought the distillery from the Jamaican government in the 1940s and began producing Captain Morgan there in 1944. After Seagram was disbanded and the Captain Morgan brand bought by Diageo, Long Pond joined National Rum of Jamaica, a company owned by the Jamaican government, Demerara Distillers Limited and Maison Ferrand. The distillery was closed from 2012 to 2017 and was almost destroyed in a fire in 2018. Thankfully, the damage was not too serious and the distillery’‘s John Dore pot stills and Blair column still continue to operate today, producing various profiles of very popular rums.
