Worthy Park Single Cask (LMDW) WPL 2005
Most love its complex banana-bread, chocolate and minty-tobacco profile with well-handled 53%. Critics find it a bit too woody, bitter and thin, with a slightly sour finish. Overall a solid, characterful WPL.
Fans of drier, oak-forward Jamaican rums who enjoy banana bread, dark chocolate and subtle menthol notes, and want a single cask Worthy Park that leans more bourbon-crossover than high-ester funk.

Banana bread sweetened with honey, fresh and earthy. Camphor and solvent. A great, complex nose which shines right after pouring. Crisp and funky in the mouth.Really like this Worthy Park. I will have to spend more time with this distillery.
An official Worthy Park showing all its sensuality. The nose is very soft and supple, oscillating between exotic fruit, woody notes, almond, pastry notes (candied fruit, burnt sugar) and a hint of phenolics with glue and esters. Tobacco and minty freshness add a real plus to the nose. There's a slight lack of intensity, but the whole is very well balanced. On the palate, it's both bitter and sweet. The main flavors are exotic fruit, spices, wood and dark chocolate. Esters are almost non-existent, but this is offset by a floral freshness, aromatic herbs and tea notes that set this profile apart from the rest. Alcohol is well integrated. The moderately long finish is more spice-oriented, with a noticeable spiciness. There's also a touch of saltiness, leather, roasted notes, wood, coconut, some banana and freshness, with bitterness echoing. Less exuberant on the nose than its 2007 cousin, it nevertheless displays greater aromatic complexity on the palate. With great depth and control, this Worthy Park ticks all the boxes of a successful rum.
Tasted this at SDR23, so my review remains rather concise. Straight out of the glass classic WP ‘breakfast’ wafts. Buttered croissant with cappuccino and mint tea. A side of plantains and apricot with a big dollop of vanillated crème fraîche, orange zest graceously grated over the top. Lovely profile that I could nose for ages. On the palate breakfast hour continues, but it’s unfortunately dialed down a notch. Still plantains, apricots, black tea, milky cereal… However the mint gets lost, and the entirety turns a bit too thin. I must admit I have a weak spot for WP. And I’ll continue beating the drum that WP often gets treated stepmotherly just because it shares an island with more favoured distilleries.
