Worthy Park 109 Jamaica Rum 3yr 54,5%

"This Pot Still rum is a blend of rums that’s consisting of unaged rum as well as rum aged for up to 3 years. Overall it’s a great high esters, funky and well balanced rum with heavy flavors. The nose is fresh and fruity. At palate it’s quite heavy, funky and oaky."

"for 35€ the liter an absolute PLV firecracker! makes an absolutely horny corn'n'oil by the way!on the nose comes dark, smoky malt beer and a lot of cola, as well as demerara sugar to the fore and some dark berries, pineapple and burnt wood.taste the alcohol is really surprisingly well integrated and tastes intensely of malt, cola and licorice, as well as esters, red berries and papaya.... then in the finish burnt wood, malt, cardamom and bitter licorice, as well as peach and creme brúlée. very good!"

"71 points. Probably unbeatable at this price and very good as a mixer but not really that good pure. I get a lot of wood and caramel, the alcohol isn’t well integrated but at this price one can’t really complain."

"Actually bought as a mix rum, but it is almost too bad for that. A mixture of Esterrum with the typical Worthy Park fruit basket and in addition rather sweet, mildly fruity rum."

"Surprisingly good wine for the price. Woody, smoky, fruity on the nose - some cherry. Apple and tropical fruit on the palate, but still spicy, just like a WP. Overall a little too alcoholic."

"Die 54% schlagen durch, fruchtige Nase wird zu kräftig-würzigem Geschmack, tolle natürliche Aromen-Vielfalt . 04.2024 Erster Eindruck: würzig, kräftig Nase: Gewürze, Melasse, Trockenfrüchte, Lakritz? Gaumen: die 54,5% ergeben mit Trockenfrüchten, Melasse, Holz und Gewürzen einen richtig kräftigen Schluck. Wenn man jemandem Rum erklären möchte, dann mit dem WP109. Abgang: warm, mittellang, harmonisch Notiz: Ich hab im Februar 2024 Worthy Park Estate, Lluidas Vale auf Jamaika besucht – eine echte Empfehlung für alle Rum-Fans, die nach Jamaika kommen. Hier könnt ihr auch sehen, wie das Zuckerrohr geerntet und verladen wird und es gab 5 Rums als Tasting ( u.a. den 109 und den zu der Zeit noch ganz neuen WP White Overproof). Wie man auf dem Foto sehen kann, habe ich mich auch mit WP Fanboy-Artikeln eingedeckt 😉"

"For the price range exciting finish, evolves from malty bitterness to a creamy sweetness (crème brûlée-like) and at the very end comes some salt liquorice."

"Very nice, woody rum from WP. Good price-quality ratio though lacks complexity. It's profile is dominated by wood and has no fruits or esters that I have anticipated. I need to try this on a cocktail."

"8,5:The nose fills us with happiness, when we find the beautiful dried banana typical of the Distillery, lots of sour cherry/cherry, some Jamaican funkiness. Like an ultra-tropical whisky, this emblematic banana envelops the spirit, inviting us into a full-bodied indulgence that smells of gunpowder and exoticism. With aeration, the fruit becomes finer, fresher, closer to pear or stewed peaches, plums-punchy.A touch of roasting has crept in. Aromas of coffee, caramel and roasted nuts emerge. 8:The palate doesn't disappoint, with a spicy entry and a texture that carries a lightly woody, almost mineral, charcoal grain-agricole like. It's the charred oak barrel speaking at this point, encouraged by a dark, burnt caramel. At the heart of this caramel are roasted nuts, which themselves cover our copper-tinged dried banana.Just minimum bitterness comes in. 8:The finish is long, lingering on exotic fruits. Easy for enjoying neat.Why just for cocktails?! Nice price/performance!"
