“Beautiful nose, taste for me but a tad too bitter woody, sour and spicy. there can the 2007 mMn clearly more. Especially the sour finish I do not like unfortunately at all and reduces the rating....”

“Un Worthy Park officiel qui montre toute sa sensualité. Le nez est très doux et souple, oscillant entre les fruits exotiques, les notes boisées, l’amande, les notes pâtissières (fruits confits, sucre brûlé) et un soupçon phénolique avec de la colle et des esters. Le tabac et la fraîcheur mentholé apportent un réel plus au nez. On peut reprocher un léger manque d’intensité, mais l’ensemble est très équilibré. En bouche, c’est à la fois amer et doux, sans fortiori. On retrouve principalement les fruits exotiques, les épices, le bois et le chocolat noir. Les esters sont quasiment inexistants, mais cela est compensé par une fraîcheur florale, des herbes aromatiques et des notes de thé qui distinguent ce profil du reste. L’alcool est bien intégré. La finale, moyennement longue, est plus orientée sur les épices, avec un côté pimenté perceptible. On y trouve également un brin de salinité, du cuir, des notes rôties, du bois, de la noix de coco, quelques notes de banane et de fraîcheur, avec l’amertume qui vient en écho. Moins exubérant au nez que son cousin de 2007, il fait toutefois preuve d’une plus grande complexité aromatique en bouche. D’une belle profondeur et d’une grande maîtrise, ce Worthy Park coche toutes les cases d’un rhum réussi.”

“Compared to the 2007, this has more varnish, bitter notes and menthol from the barrel. Unfortunately, this somewhat covers the fruit basket. For my taste, he was a little too long in the barrel.”

“I did a quasi blindtaste with three WP rums: Rum Runner 2006 54,5%. Hab. Velier 2007 59% WPL. OB Conquete 2005 53% WPL. I knew I liked the Velier so I wanted to test it against similar rums. This will be the first round, I’m interested in knowing which is the WP in my collection I like the most. C: Dark gold. N: American whiskey! Bourbon. This is not rum! Just kidding, or not? Strange nose for a rum. It feels like smelling Maker’s Mark. M: Kind of flat. This rum doesn’t taste Cask Strength or like a Singel cask. You get some spices and fruits and a lemon-gone-bad sourness that’s a bit unpleasant. F: Short with spices and white pepper. Water: Still bourbon, still sour and more floral. Better without! Buy: No”
