The alcoholic part is not harmonious with the rest.

Sometimes things get better about 6-9 months after opened, sometimes they don’t. This is a case of the latter. UPDATE in comparison with 2013 release: The 2013 pot still release is far better than this one. The column still distillation on this one leaves an unfinished, sharp taste with a gluey aftertaste. It feels like it should have spent at least 3 more years in the barrel. This is remarkable considering this actually has more tropical aging than the 2013 pot still version, which just goes to show what a tremendous difference the distillation does to the flavor. I greatly enjoyed comparing these two from wp side by side but trust me, the pot still 2013 version is the one to get.

Solid Worthy Park, but a few more years of barrel aging would not have hurt. Still seems a bit impetuous, even if the fruity freshness and the spice are positive to note. However, it lacks a counterbalance by somewhat heavier notes from the wood and sweetness, which would have given the rum a more pleasant balance. Here I would have been interested in the result after a little more storage time or but with a finish from a sweet wine barrel. So bleibts for me a Worthy Park in the rear part of the known to me field of participants.

Junger und wilder WP. Der Alkohol ist schon recht deutlich, typische WP Noten sind klar erkennbar. Mir schmeckt er recht gut und kann ihn als Einsteigerrum nur empfehlen.

Very round, very harmonious rum, add it lime and a bit of sugar and you're in heaven

Za tu cenu pohodový rum - trochu z něj kouká alkohol, ale určitě zajímavý, s ovocem a estery.

Couleur claire, nez fort en colle ou vernis, ce dont je ne suis pas tres fan à la base. Très élégant en bouche mais tres surprenant par le fait d’avoir affaire à un whisky tres fin mais avec toute la palette aromatique d’un whisky classique.

Nase: wenig spannend für Jamaika. Zu Beginn dominiert eine medizinische Note von Lack und Gummi, bevor die Früchte zum Vorschein treten, der Birne voran noch die Banane. Gaumen: kurzer Vanillestart, dann Kräuter und danach lange lange Pfeffer. Schoko , Holz und Banane erst nachgelagert. Abgang: Banane und Honig, mittellang. Fazit: Die Banane ist omnipräsent. Aber kein Rum der mich fesselt. Dafür zu wenig Frucht und zu pfeffrig.
