How does this rum taste?
Forsyths WP 502 White Rum, distilled in 2015 at Jamaica's Worthy Park distillery by Habitation Velier, offers a robust profile. Derived from molasses using a pot still, this rum is renowned for its high ester count and ABV of 57%. Users appreciate its vibrant tropical fruit and banana notes, with hints of olive and pineapple.

Interesting rum, but with 502 esters I would have expected more aromas. I sensed notes of pineapple, olive and lychee on the finish. A strong hint of solvents prevails, which accompanied by high alcohol content smother everything else. Imperceptible hint of toastiness. I like it, but I recognize that it may not be a rum in everyone's cup of tea. It is not a rum I would drink every day.
Definitely not a bad mixer for cocktails for the price. The price-performance ratio is right here. But unfortunately it has one drawback for me, because It doesn't necessarily appeal to me on its own as much as I would have thought.
Unmistakably Worthy Park: banana, a little pineapple, yellow fruit. Ester, but not as much as expected. Medium-long finish, which is surprising given the high ester content. Less suitable for drinking neat than for mixing. Tip: makes a nice rum tonic.
Great white rum! Am positively surprised.
