Worthy Park Select 4-Year

This Jamaican rum is a blend of copper pot distilled molasses based rums that have been aged between 4 and 12 years in American white oak ex-bourbon barrels.
In the nose mild vanilla dominates but also with notes of tropical fruits, banana, orange and cinnamon.
At the palate it has a certain sweetness with hints of chocolate, oak, peach and caramel.
The finish is medium long.
Overall an OK Jamaican rum but that lacks the expected funkiness, probably because of the low ABV.

Med tanke på priset i Sverige så är det här ett kap för Jamaica-älskare. Jämfört med t ex Appleton Estate rare blend så är det mycket smak i den här.
Lite banan, lite funk och en lätt touch av bränt gummi. Riktigt god helt enkelt.

Degustowałem jako nowść w 2021r na Jamajce. Według producenta to mieszanka rumów starzonych miedzy 4 a 12. Rum jest dirty w smaku, w drinku lekko herbaciany. Nie jest tak funky jak inne destylarnie jamajskie, myśle że jak już w koncu będzie dostępny w europie będzie solidną pozycją.

Strong alcohol burn with minimal flavor. Best used for large mixed drinks, but lacks complexity and smoothness.

This is what I typically think of now when I think of Jamaican funk. It has that characteristic rotten pineapple, rotten banana, and nail-polish remover on the nose. I can't sip it neat but, damn, does it ever work well in a Daiquiri!

Nice easy rum. Not very special. Spicey aftertaste

Drank this rum as a part of the green rum box. Pretty average in taste. Jamaican funk not very present.

and a spectacular entry leaving me wondering about the rest of the brand. I was surprised how mild it was. Very smooth with forward notes of whisky or bourbon barrels it was matured in. this has to be the best tasting younger blends I've enjoyed. Better than Chairman's Forgotten Cask!
