About the distillery
Long Pond
Long Pond Distillery
Region: Trelawny Parish
Address: Clark’s Town, Jamaica
Founded: 1753
Distillation equipment : 5 pot stills and 1 column still
The distillery opened in 1753 has stopped operating for quite a few years before reopening in 2017 thanks to the refurbishment of existing equipment initiated by its owner National Rums of Jamaica. The site holds 200,000 gallons (757,000 L) molasses tanks installed at its entry. Long Pond is fairly aligned to its peers in its distillation setup composed of a mix of five pot stills and a column still.
Long Pond Distillery and Rest & Be Thankful have a common characteristic. They both have been named after a place. Long Pond Distillery was named after a mountain peak name in the Jamaican Cockpit Country. Rest & Be Thankful was named after a scenic viewpoint in Glen Croe, Scotland overlooking a mythical road built by the British military in 1753, the same year Long Pond distillery was. Rest & Be Thankful is also a mountain peak located 10 km / 7 miles away from Long Pond peak in the Cockpit Country.
