Rum Nation Worthy Park Jamaica 5 Years Old Oloroso Sherry Finish 2016

"One of the best rums in its price range. Definitely a good rum and I can only recommend it. "

"A rum that seems good, especially considering its price. Fruity as can be, balanced even if it has no depth. But add a drop of water and it loses a lot of flavor. Too bad and a big kudos to the blender for making the best of what he had. Perfect ABV. Tasted again and still disappointing."

"A pleasant Worthy Park. But the olorosso finish isn't my thing. Edit: new tasting via a new sample. My first rating was a bit harsh but I'm still not seduced. This is a Worthy Park with too much alcohol and not much room for the usual WP markers. The sherry cask finish adds a touch of grape, which I personally have a lot of trouble with. Not for me."

"Amazingly good! Fantastic price-performance ratio. You can clearly taste Worthy Park, the PX finish is not superficial and very well integrated!"

"5 YO Worthy Park at 50% abv matured first in Jamaica for 15 to 18 mths and then in Italy in Oloroso & Pedro Ximenez casks. This one is really heavy in the taste. Nose is nice, typical funky Jamaica but the taste is more robust than the nose. Lot of funk/esters along with fruity aroma in the nose but palate gives more woody and heavy full bodied taste of Jamaican rum. Lots of wood in the aftertaste that is super long. Not sure about this piece after first 4 cl. Have to give it another go. So far I have mixed feelings as I really like the nose but taste is kind of too heavy due to its strong ,,sheriff woody,, taste. I would go with 72/100 for a start. I think we will get along just fine as soon as I will get used to that strong woody taste. Let me know what do you think. Retaste: Nice rum but very raw and rough probably due to its age. I had younger but they were not as sharp as this one, therefore I am pulling down my original rating. Retaste 30.4.2023 I have to say that Oloroso finish is giving it a rounder sweeter character. Just a side note I am tasting it after Smith&Cross which is chilly/peppery and this one is better and more complex in taste. I like the nose of S&C more though. The Oloroso gives it more chocolate and creamy feel to it. Still you can sense a hell lot of Jamaica and woody, fruity notes. Nice rum that I appreciated fully only later when I tasted more and more rums."

"L ensemble est correct. Au nez on trouve un peu funky banane Esters, mais très adoucie par du fruit sec , raisin sec et boisé. La bouche perd du funky et s orienté sur les apports du fût oloroso. Le raisin sec prend le dessus accompagné d une touche de Porto vineux.du poivre aussi. Dommage que je perde autant le worthy Park!"

"Absolut solider jamaicaner!"

"Not a typical Worthy Park in terms of taste. Reminds me more of a regular Appleton"

"Much better this time with some air in the bottle. Good quality."

"Odeur et goût assez prononcés de bonbon/médicament à la banane.la bouche est un peu plus complexe que le nez avec les épices et le fut. La texture reste douce et facile. Pas mal foutu mais assez écoeurant"

"Good worthy park"

"Very nice. Jamaica funch and complex sweetness with tropical fruits. Think the wood and char is not doing anything good for the end result. Not ruining it, but to much for me. To much barrel and to little sherry in that Olerosso. But it does bring some nice darker spicy notes to the party."

"Too sharp. Very molasses-like smell"

"Really well done, great for the price, the aging in PX and Oloroso are a real plus, very good!"

"Pleasant, beautiful rum that does not overwhelm even beginners"
