Habitation Velier Worthy Park Forsyths White WPE 2017 57%

"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."

"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"

"Brutally complex! Fruit, acid, salty, herbaceous, metallic, funky esterig, umami. Very wacky and does really well in the daiquiri 🤤💯In terms of worthy Park probably one of the best I know😅"

"From the first nose, it reminded me of a cold bath, the typical distinguishing mark of a pinimenthol bath additive. But rather subtle. Ester is also clearly recognizable, but not as intense as the Hampden DOK I tasted before. The taste is funky and intense with a slight sweetness. The finish is rather short. Definitely also a good mixer."

"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..."

""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"."

"Schon deutlich besser als die Overproofs der OBs … pur sehr gut trinkbar und eine Granate im Daiquiri. Klassisch oder auch mit ein bisschen Banana Oleo Saccharum und Salz. Guter weißer für die Hausbar und zum Sippe 👌"

"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."

"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."
