How does this rum taste?
Classy, fruity Worthy Park for explorers
If you like cleaner, fruit-forward Jamaicans like other mid-ester Worthy Parks, this is a nice step up in age and strength, adding tea, oak and subtle whisky vibes without becoming aggressive.
Those seeking big Hampden-style funk, ultra-rich sweetness, or who are sensitive to noticeable alcohol and a slightly dry, tannic profile.

Perfectly Integrated esters with buttered spiced bananas and rose-water Turkish delight. Milk tea. Tea. Chai fudge. Salt Liquorice. walnut. Watermelon. Dry heap of grass. Silage. Wet pebbles. Bracken. Despite being a touch thin/light on the mouth-feel, the distillate flavour is very fat. Long finish with sweet, sour, spicy, bitter, astringent and at the end mineralic/chalky notes. Really classy and very (very) WP. It’s basically 15 years old. Cannot wait to see this spirit at 20+, as it feels like it probably ages very well. No more than a drop or 2 of water. Perfect strength. Medium / long finish of sweet tea with a bunch of grass. Drank alongside the 2010 ECS Foursq, which was blown out of the water by it in terms of complexity.
It's classy, bright, and clean from start to finish. It's like a blend of rum and whiskey, funky and clean at the same time. The finish is long and moderate in strength, making it a great everyday drink. This is a good Jamaican rum that you'll want to air out slowly. ----------------------------------------------- Nose: Classy and refined, reminiscent of sherry, esters, and single malt whiskey. Barley, milk tea, watermelon. Light and dense on the palate. On the second sip, chocolate, honey and other sweet notes emerge. Taste: Sweet raisins, followed by rooibos, bitterness of sesame leaves, and tannins like chewing grape skins. There's also a salty note, like a touch of fresh seawater. The palate is moderately spicy and lingers on the finish. Finish: The finish is long, with intense oak nuances, similar to Macallan if I had to guess. On the breath, tropical fruits with esters, a little bit of barley tea and a comfortable finish.
It starts off as a typical Worthy Park and somehow ends as a Whisky in the finish. Or a Rumcask finished Whisky. I like transfer a lot and pouring a Rye in my other glass these two (Swell wonder 12) have a lot in common.
A beautiful, typical Worthy Park. I find it a bit flat, but I'm not sure if I'm a bit out of practice after a week of abstinence. Overall nice, rather slightly bitter-astringent coconut notes. Perhaps a little one-dimensional.
