Habitation Velier Worthy Park Forsyths White WPE 2017

Un jamaïcain à part entière. Totalement fan de sa puissance et de l’arôme qu’il dégage. Coup de cœur.

Surprisingly in a bad way, if you have any respect for your nasal area and palate, skip it. This mixture of both olive and petroleum products is not the most beautiful effect.

Jamaika - Stark ausgeprägtes Potpourri aus Lack, Estern aber vor allem Früchten. Beiläufig Tabak & Honig. Herrliches Hochestererlebnis. Zu Beginn weiß er durch deutliche Fruchtsüße zu gefallen, bevor sich der Honig durchsetzt. Dieser gewinnt mit Zeit immer mehr an Süße/Intensität. Am Ende rauchige Noten. Kaufempfehlung! Obwohl ungelagert, kann man für den Preis nichts falsch machen. Ob pur oder auch im Cocktail, funky Trinkerlebnis.

Ethers ++ au nez!! Dans un verre à déguster le vin encore plus ! Presque désagréable avec une acidité très surprenante ! Par contre en bouche, nous sommes quasiment sur de l’eau de vie de canne avec une finale légèrement fruité. C’est assez déroutant pour un blanc !! En revanche, à proscrire pour un Ti-Punch, ça fait ressortir toute l’amertume des éthers, très désagréable. Rhum très intéressant parce que déroutant et unique!

The kind of powerful, aromatic white rum we love. Worthy Park flexes its muscles with this bottling, which is full-bodied, intense and funky on the nose. Phenolic and ferm notes combine with brine and ripe tropical fruit, while a hint of spice and freshness counterbalance the extreme profile. It's cleaver, dirty and provocative all at once. The attack on the palate is lively, astringent and explosive. This is clearly a rum of great aroma, with multiple facets: exotic fruits, phenolic and fermentation flavors, spices and saltiness, floral notes... it's a veritable cocktail of flavors, extremely rich. The alcohol is very well integrated. The extremely long finish is adorned with honeyed, spicy, salty, earthy, grassy, smoky and even metallic notes of copper. The Jamaican funk is ever present, both brutal and exuberant. A veritable festival of flavors for an extreme aromatic profile that's also extremely tasty. Needless to say, cocktails with this rum become immediately more exciting.

Ein angenehmer würziger holziger Jamaikaner!

Уххх…как же это необычно. Ананас, бананы в перемешку с жидкостью для снятия лака, сок консервированных зеленых оливок, прилично дымный и пряный мескаль, кислый манго, древесные смолы. Во вкусе уксус из тропических фруктов, мескальный дымок, жаренные зеленые оливки на деревенском оливковом мосле, фанки нот тоже достаточно. Послевкусие продолжительное эфирно-терпкое, с древесно-смоляной горчинкой. Невероятно сложный и вкусный эфирно-альдегидный ньюмек. Можно насладиться в чистом виде, но думаю будет просто незаменимым в коктейлях, например в Дайкири. Очень круто!

Oh yes baby 😎 That‘s a delicious WPE 🤤🤤 Nose: Overriped fuits, apple, black bananas, papaya, mango, glue, nail polish and a full truckload of esters😬🫨🤤 Mouth: In addition to the previous notes I found some floral hay and honey notes! The alcohol is perfect integrated Finish: dry delicious and medium long

A crass combination of apple and banana on the nose. With a hint of vinegar. There is a slight hint of licorice behind it. The taste can't quite keep up, but the banana and great fruitiness remain.

A really strong Worthy Park...

This is a retaste and I stick to my score. Pretty good rum from Habitation. The nose is wonderfully fruity with the typical funk, ester and glue and maybe some varnish/polish in the back. The palate is complex and well balanced, again with a nice funk and lots of fruits. A bit dry with wood and wet hay. The finish is long and fruity with a tad of funk and wood.

"An excellent white jam that I recommend and that made me want to go further! The bottle is now empty! In summary, my tasting notes: On the nose: Ester, Glue, Varnish On the palate: Honeyed, Tropical fruit, Pineapple, Intense, Ester, Funky Finish: Honeyed, Fruity, Herbaceous, Clove, Metallic".

Erinnert mich im Geruch und Geschmack an den Worthy Park Single Cask aus 2017, wobei die Velier Variante etwas milder ist.

Nosing reveals a combination of fruits, spices and chemistry. Starts off with all kinds of banana accompanied by red and green apple. Sharpness is further introduced with sour raspberries and later light vinegar notes. There’s a bit of sweet herbaceousness from sugarcane, as well as wood and smoke from juniper. A touch of aniseed wraps up the spicy profile. We continue with chemical notes, primarily hot glue and polish, but also some rubber and burnt plastic. Sipping initially overwhelms the tastebuds with harsh butyric acid, quickly redeveloping into more pleasant notes. More hot glue, rubber, polish and vinegar. And eventually again banana and spicy, woody notes from anise and juniper. Finish is light and dry. The pharmacy shuts down and high quality honey and raspberry are reintroduced. This is a very strong and wild unaged rum that has many applications in mixology, but can also be enjoyed neat.

In der Nase definitiv anspruchsvoller als im Geschmack und auch nicht der neue Lieblingsrum; aber trotzdem eine spannende Sache! Beim Geruch wird man neben den ganzen Fruchtnoten den Eindruck von Olivenlake/Dirty Martini nicht los.
