    How does this rum taste?

    • Rich tropical fruit aroma
    • Well-balanced alcohol integration
    • Smooth drinking experience

    The Special Barrel Series WPL is a Jamaican rum distilled at Worthy Park through a traditional double retort pot still process, then aged for 6 years. Noted for its tropical fruit aromas, particularly pineapple and peach, it presents a lush flavor profile with prominent red fruits, a subtle caramelized sweetness, and a touch of green pepper. Despite its 56% ABV, the alcohol is well-balanced, making it an approachable choice for enthusiasts. Users praise its fruity and smooth qualities, though some mention a lack of complexity and funkiness found in younger expressions. Overall, this rum represents a high-quality offering from both Worthy Park and independent bottler Nectar, catering to those who appreciate a sophisticated tropical palate.

    "Very good Worthy Park! No off notes, alcohol well integrated. Perhaps lacking some complexity."

    "Fruity nose with tropical salad, citrus peels, blackberry and a blend of red fruits. It smells sweet of deep, dark molasses, lightly spiced with a smidgen of allspice. The experience stays very fresh and cool, welcoming like iced-tea on a hot summer night. The taste is very banana forward. The berries and sour cherries mostly disappear in a plethora of fresh-, green-, and baked banana. We continue with salted caramel followed by allspice and malt. Like most WPs it’s ‘breakfasty’ with buttered toast, coffee and tea. Lightly smoky, and eventually cool and refreshing on the back palate with herbal notes. This is an excellent depiction of the quality WP can achieve and that it isn’t just a Jamaican underdog. The alcohol is integrated very well and all flavours are neatly presented."

    "This WP is milder and more pleasing than the 3-year-old, but in contrast it lacks the cheeky funkiness! In comparison, the 3-year-old is definitely the better rum for me!"
