Warehouse No. 1 TECC-nical Ecstacy White Overproof Rum

Warehouse No. 1 TECC-nical Ecstasy White Overproof Rum comes from the Long Pond Distillery in Jamaica and belongs to the TECC marque, one of the distillery's most ester-rich product categories. The rum is produced using the traditional Pot Still method from molasses, with fermentation taking place using wild yeasts and lasting several days (around 30-45 days). This slow, open fermentation is characteristic of the Long Pond distillery and contributes significantly to the formation of a high ester content. The TECC rum reaches values of around 1,400-1,600 g/hlpa (grams per hectolitre of pure alcohol), which places it in the class of so-called "continental flavoured rums", which were originally designed for export to Europe. It is bottled directly after distillation, without ageing in barrels, with an alcohol content of around 63% vol. As a white overproof rum, it fully retains the sensory characteristics of fermentation and distillation, without the influence of wood or ageing. The Long Pond Distillery is located in Trelawny, in the north-west of Jamaica, and is one of the few remaining distilleries in the country that produce exclusively using the Pot Still method. It was founded in the 18th century and has always been known for its high-ester rums, which play a central role in the British rum tradition in particular. The "TECC-nical Ecstasy" bottling was released under the Warehouse No. 1 brand and is a tribute to this traditional production method.

The rum is primarily used in mixology, where it serves as an aromatic element in complex cocktail recipes due to its intensity, as the intense flavour profile and high alcohol concentration are less designed for pure enjoyment and more suitable as a secret ingredient for cocktails.
