Worthy Park Single Estate 12-Year

Flowers, molases, fruits in aroma; sweeter start, dark, chocolate, raisins, charcoal, funky body; heating woody tail.

Classic worthy park nose with solid funk that is not overdone taste has molasses rum qualities mixed in which makes this super appealing and mainstream enough for my non-agricole drinking friends. Finish is smooth and only slight burn even though its 50%abv

For me this was a very good mixer rum. I could have had it neat but it was just a little on the dry side.

Vůně: starý lak, (hrušky?), bylinná, ne až tak výrazná
Chuť: sladká, hřejivá, ovocný drops, přezrálé ovoce, pepř
Dochuť: bourbon, dřevitá, bylinně nahořklá, nahnilé ovoce
Zdá se mi to ale, celé nějaké moc zkrocené...
Abych pravdu řekl, mne osobně zatím Worthy Park moc neoslovil.
7,5/10

Was fortunate to have been able to get my hands on a couple bottles of this splendid liquid. Rich, very complex, with a good amount of heat but never overpowering. This isn’t a typical heavy ester bomb, but it’s very much it’s own unique thing. One of the best,… correction, the best Jamaican style I’ve had the pleasure of tasting.

Tasted at Hugman’s Oasis on 2/21/23. Pours rich gold. Aroma of candle wax and a bit of acetone. A bit of biscuit. Big vanilla and coconut. Eating birthday cake. Acrid up front. Mellows to a chewy molasses. Fantastic.

Aroma: copper penny
Flavor: vanilla, in a rich custard layered with some strawberries and served with a rich coffee.
You'll thank me later for this description.

first i must say that this rum is so smooth that in a blind tasting you ll never know it s 56% ABV, nose: i recognize Jamaican funky style, in the mouth it is warming but smooth, wood, vanilla, tropical fruits, banana, way better than the single estate brother, finish, sweet Jamaican funk stays long in your mouth ... it s expensive here in Croatia, spent 141 euro but ok, a very classy rum will be added in the menu at the end of season ...

This is the first time I’ve seen Worthy Park at a liquor store. I looked it up and saw that everyone gave it great ratings, so I decided to try it. I tasted the funkiness that comes with Jamaican rums, but it also had a nice oaky flavor with notes of fruit. It’s not too sweet and smooth. I enjoyed it with lime and a splash of Coke. So glad I found this one!

An upgrade to the standard Single Estate for sure with the higher ABV and added years giving it more intensity and complexity. A high quality excellent sipper. Some time to breathe and then a little water added opens up the 12 tropical year cask maturation and you get more for you money.
Competing with the Velier expressions with a similar high price tag the price (2020) will turn some away. 1 point docked for price - so would have been a 9 pointer.
