Worthy Park Special Cask Release #5 Port 2008
Highly praised as a rich, fruity Worthy Park where the port finish adds depth without killing the Jamaican funk. Dry, powerful and well-integrated alcohol that rewards attentive sipping.
Fans of Jamaican funk who enjoy dry, cask-strength rums with port-cask berry and dried-fruit notes rather than heavy sweetness.

Very cool Worthy Park! Powerfull, delicious, Funky with cool Cherry notes 🤤 The port barrel is noted, but it isn’t overwhelming! I like it a lot, especially the mix of various fruits. The alcohol is integrated well and give it a nice depth.
Overall a great port finished rum that’s rich, fruity, round and balanced that not loses its Jamaican funky profile. Bought me two bottles of this Special Cask Release from Worthy Park during the last Rum Cruise with Birka Cruises in the Baltic Sea. I choose this one cause I heard it was the best one in the first batch Special Cask Release released in 2018. It’s distilled in pot still back in 2008 whereafter it was aged for 9 years in ex-bourbon casks. Thereafter it was transferred to 1423 in Denmark where it was finished during one year in a former Port Cask before being bottled at ABV 56% in just 585 bottles.
Weniger auf der Esterseite, dafür ist das Portfinish leicht zu bemerken. Und es ist gut integriert. Wirkt rund und geschmeidig an der Nase, im Mund aber einen Tick zu trocken und bitterholzig. Insgesamt macht der Rum aber Spaß! Sehr geschmeidig im Abgang!
Mit vermutlich 10 Jahren der älteste in der Release Reihe. In der Nase ist bereits direkt eine Süße von dunklen Beeren und die typische Banane zu erkennen. Am Gaumen kommen Pflaumen, Tabak und Leder dazu mit einer intensiven Tiefe, welche wahrscheinlich vom Portfinish rührt. Vermutlich wären die beiden anderen Rums mit diesem Finish komplett untergegangen. Zum Abgang hin wird er zunehmend bitterer, was mir sehr gut gefällt. Ohne den ungefinishten Rum zu kennen, würde ich trotzdem sagen, dass das Finish dem Rum gut tut und sehr gut steht. 84 Punkte
