Worthy Park Rum-Bar White Overproof

"This is a pure pot stills rum consisting of a blend of WPEL, WPL and WPE rum from the Worthy Park distillery. The finish is just medium long and shorter than for the other white Jamaican Overproof’s. Overall it’s also the most pungent of the big Jamaican three."

"In direct comparison with the W"

"7,8:On the nose, the first impression we get is fruity and medicinal with overripe, fermented tropical fruits, mostly banana and light esters, glue, nail polish and a note of yoghurt. On aeration, there are notes of a sugarcane honey, as a molasses is vegetal, herbaceous and flowery, grassy, spicy. Citrus and pear are noticed 7,6:On the palate, the attack is again fruity and medicinal with overripe, fermented tropical fruits like banana, pineapple, later pear, citrus and esters, glue.With a combination of fermented vegetal notes, we might think we taste a yoghurt, as later we have a wave of grassy, floral and herbaceous notes, a hint of sugarcane, after nice rest then chocolate, nuts, some confectionery and spicy pepper. 7,7:The finish is medium long with dry and smoky notes, a bit bitter with an olive, the fruits are still overripe, fermented, joined with red fruits, crunchy bread and some yeast, medicinal light esters, polish.."

"Good mixer with nice banana notes. Bar classic at a good price."

"This particular rum is very good mixed with grape or bitter lemon :-)"

"A very good white rum which, although OVERPROOF, is mild and fruity. I am surprised by the pleasant fruity, ester-containing aroma, which I would not have expected. The price-performance ratio is outstanding. A real pleasure neat"

"A very popular rum, mainly used in mixology, but it also has its strengths when enjoyed neat. The nose is full-bodied, with heavy fruity and phenolic notes that invade the nostrils, accompanied by vegetal and floral notes. The impression is confirmed on the palate: this is a powerful, funky and exciting rum. There's a real aromatic concentration of overripe banana and pineapple, glue and vegetal notes. It also has an almost synthetic, artificial, chemical and fermented feel. The finish leaves its mark on the palate with a hint of bitterness, but above all the varnish notes that coat the palate with its intensity. Exotic fruit and citrus round out the finish. A high-spirited rum that has what it takes to concoct explosive cocktails."

"For the price a super White Overproof. Brings everything you expect from a Jamaican rum. Should not be missing in any home bar"

"I'd never had the chance to taste this Worthy Park overproof. Now I have. It kicks. Strong. Not at all funky, but very fruity and surprisingly vegetal. Nice, but apart from in a few cocktails, of limited interest in my opinion."

"Fällt – für mich – im Vergleich gegen Rum Fire und Wray etwas ab. Pur nicht so der Bringer aber, dafür sind die Dinger ja auch nicht gemacht."

"Really good white rum with lots of flavor!"

"Sure it's a blender. Unbeatable with grapefruit. Pure but quite more exciting than some other WP - high ester Worthy Park is also rare. In the nose the full broadside of unripened Jamaicans: fermented tropical fruits (banana, pineapple), rather light adhesive notes. A slight sweetness greets you at the tip of the tongue, followed by the fruit basket from the nose, followed by fresh sugar cane with all its bitterness. In the rather short finish, the bitterness turns to citrus peel and lemon."

"Witty Jamaican upper proof rum that seems to jump back and forth between sweet and dry - at least in taste. The nose is full of molasses, the palate is funky and full-bodied. I personally prefer it in cocktails."

"Pure not really a pleasure but great to mix. Very intense, fruity notes with banana."

"Very strong banana smell, taste not bad. Tried with a bit of water which revealed more notes. Worth trying with few drops of water and see which you prefer. Have yet to used it in cocktail but will get to it eventually"
