Thompson Bros. Worthy Park Pot Distilled Jamaican Rum JMWP 2008 14yr 54,5%

"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."

"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."

"Beautiful nose with the typical notes of pineapple, banana and tropical fruits. Unfortunately, the taste cannot keep up with the nose, the components are only weakly present, alcohol could be better integrated, the rum comes across as flat. After standing for two hours, the rum only tastes of vanilla and caramel from the barrel. The result is a rum with a boring taste and a nice nose."
