Worthy Park RA

Bold smoky rum, whisky notes, lingering tobacco, unusual Jamaican.

Heavily smoky, with Islay whisky and tobacco dominating the usual Worthy Park style; the result splits opinion, but the adventurous (and whisky fans) will find plenty to chew on. One to try if smoke and peat intrigue you.

    How does this rum taste?

    Fruchtigen WP und Bowmore-Finish
    Angenehmes Mundgefühl
    Smoke is really overwhelming

    RumX members are divided over this Worthy Park release, with most honing in on the intense smoke, distinctive whisky influence, and flashes of classic WP fruit. The Islay cask presence is "overwhelming" for some (MarcT), yet others find the balance with notes of tobacco and oak: "Islay notes are very dominant" and worth the wait, as @DomM observes. Vanilla, ash, and subtle herbal touches surface after time in the glass, giving an unusual twist to a Jamaican rum—more peated whisky than fruit basket, and certainly, as TheShark65 notes, "kein Easy-Sipper".

     The nose is fruity and smoky with vanilla and a hint of tobacco. The palate is intense, spicy and has smoky wood with fruits and tobacco. I think whisky lovers will take a liking to this one because the flavours are pretty close to whisky. The fi isj is long and has smoky wood, tobacco and dried fruit to it. Price to quality is very good.

     Oh my God! The smoke is really overwhelming, and the Rum itself shines through it slightly at times. I would not have thought that a Jamaican Rum can be so... dwarfed by a Whisky cask finish. The finish is full of ash, which I still could taste hours later. This is not for me, I gifted the sample to a colleague who likes his Octomore.

     Long time since last tasting and I still like it. - About a year ago since last tasting. I like it a lot. Sad my bottle is almost empty now.

     All in all, a delicious Worthy Park. Funnily enough, the smell and taste of whisky that I detect in this bottling doesn't even bother me that much. I actually quite like it. For whatever reason.
