Worthy Park Single Cask (LMDW) WPM

18.12.2021 Participating in a nice tasting given to me as a present. Nice hotel in a very central location. Notes Medium to dark in colour. Nose Fresh, fruity, banana, overripe, light glue, faint caramel, light cinnamon. Palate Warm, balanced, light wood, fruity, banana, overripe, faint coconut, faint chocolate. Finish Medium to long, light wood, fruity, light caramel, light coconut, faint citrus.

Surprisingly awesome worthy park! Dried banana, dried fig and salted olive crackers to drink! Very very cool! I would not have thought!

Glue, banana bread, licorice, etc.. Very complex and interesting. Ursuper in the nose would say in Vienna. In the mouth it continues similarly. Crisp, funky, very complex. The alcohol stings a bit. A great rum. Skatalites are spinning on the turntable, a perfect fit.

Schöner Worthy Park, typische Toffee- und Bananennoten, schwere Gewürze, leichte Röstnoten, Holz, Kaffee und dunkle Schokolade - schöne Komplexität bei leichten alkoholischem Biss. Bei dieser Aromenvielfalt fällt eine dezente Alkoholnote aber nur sehr eingeschränkt ins Gewicht. Sehr schönes Release.

This WPM really can shine with what Worthy Park can be. The banana and tropical fruit fight against the bitter wood of tropical aging. All in a lovely balance with some ester. This is a very good rum with the perfect abv for the barrel. Hooray!

An even different profile from its 2005 companion. The rum here is more concentrated on phenolic notes (ester and glue above all), with some medicinal notes, exotic fruits and much more pronounced pastry notes (marzipan and cookies). Aromatic herbs accompany this profile, less impregnated with wood and less impacted by spices. Nonetheless, it remains a dry, unctuous, gourmet rum with a pleasantly funky touch. The attack on the palate is much more simplistic. Tropical fruits, spices, wood, bitterness, leather, tobacco, herbs and esters. The profile is linear, smooth and the alcohol well integrated. One could have hoped for more, given the nose. The medium-length finish returns to some fruity notes, but is dominated by spice and wood. A touch of salt and a hint of olive complete the profile. Compared to the 2005 Single Cask, the nose is more exuberant, but the palate falls short of expectations and leaves us wanting more. It would be interesting to see Worthy Park with a mark more concentrated in esters to push the nose's promising aromatic side.

Amazingly good WP! Overripe banana, mango, salted caramel, light herbs and some glue gives a fantastic mixture!

Nose is fantastic! Son much layers, complex and so different in one bottle. Very aromatic, complex sweetness with full of fruits. In this release are much more less from “glue, acidic, nail polish etc”. This release are something more pleasant and soft. Yes, the nose is something different and unique. Taste is more traditional compare to another classic releases from WP. Fruits, soft bitter and lots of spice’s. Very long finish

3rd blind taste looking for the best Worthy “the secret distillery” Park. This time we have: H. Velier 2005, 57,8% OB Conquete 2007 WPM, 55% RA 2007, 59,1% C: D Gold N: Petrol, light ester and overripe peaches. I also get brine and bananas. Very similar to rum A (Habitation) but with more authority. It possesses thicker, heavier aromas. 20min in: Beautiful! I don’t know why but I feel a connection between those Bielle Brut de Fùt (Cask Strength) and this style of Worthy Park. Especially that peach-marmalade. There is also unpeeled fresh celery and petrol fumes. Best nose! M: Burnt sugar and coffee. Peaches, celery and that typical WP floral note. Unfortunately, the taste has this sourness that doesn’t let the great nose to be present here. F: White pepper. B: Maybe.

voni krásně, můžu k tomu cichat celý večer oříšky, vanilka chuť zabrni na jazyku a pak se rozstřelí a pak uklidní, dlouho trvajici chut ta síla je citit
