Habitation Velier Worthy Park Forsyths WPM 2006
Sip this one slowly in a tasting glass — at 57.5% it needs air and maybe a drop of water. Overripe banana, pineapple, glue and varnish meet a heavy dose of toasted oak, spice and leather from full tropical aging. More wood-forward than most Worthy Parks, and several tasters wish the alcohol were better integrated. Fans call it "highester funky Jamaican rum" done right.
The community says- Tropical fruit and ester
- Complex, wood-driven

Review by cigares
A nose of fruit, banana, pineapple, tutti-frutti but also varnished old wood and leather. The palate contrasts with the liveliness of the nose; everything here is more balanced and the fruit is still very present. The finish is long, refined and balanced, with wet wood (larch) and roof tar appearing later. Lots of aromas in the empty glass.

Exceptional rum that at the second tasting impressed me the most. A strong rum that leaves its mark.Long finish with a slight hint of roasting.

dark fruit bread with dates, red berries and bananas, as well as a lot of wood on the nose.taste then much drier and woodier than expected with extremely much spice and also again reminiscent of fruit bread. in the finish comes some menthol and many bitter roasted flavors to it, as well as some grapefruit peel and again date. but also very dry and short in the finish. nevertheless, one of the better worthy parks I had so far.overall, however, he has me just too much wood...
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
I got this bottle at a very good price and it was a very nice surprise. Very fruity all the way and lightly dry in the finish. Retasting this one today and I still think it's pretty good.
Review by Sven
The best Worthy Park I've had in a glass. Tropical fruit with lots of spice and wood. Also notes of aniseed and licorice. A rum with rough edges that has a lot to offer. Intense in flavor and a long finish. Fun in the glass every time.
Review by MarcT
Had this open for a year now, and returned to it often. As I had the chance to broaden my experience I must reduce my rating for this rum. I believe the alcohol to be to much, it is too sharp in its burn, and (at least for me) makes it difficult to access the flavours. Water helps, time had not helped (as I hoped). Still, it has an intense smell, and, given time and water, one will have a good sipper for a slow evening. If just the alcohol would have been better integrated, which I know from comparison to other rums to be possible...
Review by Galli33
Very delicious WP. Classic mix of a fruit basket with the barrel and roated aromas. Alcohol could be integrated better
Review by Jakob
The initial releases of the Habitation Velier series were my introduction to the world of Worthy Park and are still among the best I know of the distillery. The profile of the 2006 release has rough edges, brings fiery spicy notes together with tart wood, anise, licorice and slightly mineral hints and sweet notes of tropical fruit and vanilla sugar. What can I say? Just really good.
Review by Maxence
Well balanced profile between fruits and round notes. Really nice Jamaïcan rum !
Review by Aussierumfan
This is a retaste and I am not changing my initial score from 2 years ago. A very nice jamaican from Worthy Park and to me is a great representation of the distillery. Fruit and spices, can get the oak influence coming through as well. A great nose and a medium to long finish.
Review by LukaŽiga
9:On the nose, the first impression we get are esters and varnish, funkiness, opening with a red carpet for overripe tropical fruits like banana, pineapple, papaya and some raisins. Tipically for WP, grass, roasted wood and vanilla, perhaps with some caramelized confectionery.... When aired a bit, more bourbon yellow fruits, citrus, bathing in honey are scented, with smoky/leather undertones.The molasses delivers vegetal/herbal bias, which rounds up medicinal notes from the beginning... 9:On the palate, the attack is intensive with overripe, fermented tropical fruits, mentioned before, spicy with pepper, the wood is dry, roasted, put shortly, we enjoy sweet, buttery confectionery, filled with tasty, juicy marmelade, especially tasty are peaches, and creamy vanilla, bathing in honey!😋 After some rest, molasses delivers vegetal, a bit bitter herbaceous, tobacco undetones and cookie dough notes, perhaps a bit yeasty. 8,9:The finish is long and fruity, balanced, the wood a bit charred, toasted with some chocolate and roasted notes, vanilla, confectionery, spicy.Later, it becomes a bit musty, as we notice some cigar ashes. Delicious...an upgrade
Review by TheRhumhoe
A Worthy Park from Habitation Velier which offers a nice aromatic balance. It is neither in the high esters, nor in the more sanitized rums, it is well constructed. The nose opens on tropical fruits (pineapple and banana) before letting out some phenolic notes (esters, glue, solvents and varnish) then woody, spicy, roasted aromas and leather. A smell of baked apple emerges from this very round and comely blend. Caramel, brown sugar and dried fruits complete the olfactory panel.One discerns in mouth an oily, intense and dry rum, with at first exotic fruits and citrus fruits, which fade rather quickly to let dominate the woody flavors (barrel), spices (pepper, chili, vanilla, cinnamon), leather, empyreumatic notes (toasted, roasted). A very unusual profile for Jamaica, the cask having played a big role on this tropical aging rum, but not unpleasant. The esters are very much in the background, but the balance of flavors is there. The finish, quite long, comes back on the bitterness of leather and dark chocolate, woody notes, hot and spicy spices, some fruit and esters notes that complete this tasty and very varied profile.More concentrated and more mastered than its 2007 counterpart, this Worthy Park 2006 is a very nice bottling that reveals another side of Jamaican rum.
Review by Giorgio Garotti
A worthy park that really amazed me! The alcohol is a bit overpowering but if you let it breathe well you can appreciate it well! A mix of memories of the flavors between Appleton and monymusk makes it a very unique rum but very enjoyable to drink!
Review by Basti
Blindtasting Worthy Park mit: HV WPL (RX272) HV WPM (RX1089) Schotman (RX17173) Wolfgang Klotz (RX21848) TWJ (RX14182) Platz 3 (8.4): TWJ. Die Nase ist ziemlich verschlossen und wirkt am Ende sowohl an der Nase als auch am Gaumen etwas unausgewogen. Leicht bitter am Gaumen und auch im Abgang. Platz 2 (8.6): HV WPL + WK Spirits. Der WK bringt insgesamt mehr Holz und Gewürze mit und mit viel Zeit im Glas auch vermehrt fruchtige Aromen. Auch der HV WPL braucht ein wenig Zeit im Glas, hat dann aber eine schön komplexe Nase. Am Gaumen neben trop. Früchten auch dezent Klebstoff und Ester. Platz 1 (8.7): HV WPM + Schotman. Der Schotman ist wohl der rundeste WP im Crosstasting mit einer schönen Pfirsich Note. Der WPM setzt sich durch rauchige Aromen und Lakritz etwas ab. WP lief bei mir bisher unter dem Radar, zu unrecht. Ich bin echt positiv überrascht und werde in Zukunft wohl auch häufiger mal einen WP im Glas haben :)
Review by Eric Frechin
Ça fait plusieurs bouteille de WP que je goûte et je me rends compte que c est une autre identité dans les rhums Jamaicain et pas inintéressante du tout. C est fruité et funky, mais tout en gardant une certaine élégance. Ici on démarre au nez sur du tropical, bouche évoluant vers un pomme poire et un peu de caramel beurre.
Review by Timo Groeger
Dann ein paar kleine Samples von Habitation Velier. Hier ein Worthy Park, welcher mich im ersten Eindruck etwas enttäuscht. In Nase und am Gaumen haben wir hier viel Ester, aber auch tropische Früchte. Banane ist hier vorrangig erkennbar. Trotzdem ein guter Rum.
Review by Joachim Guger
A great nose, lots of ester and varnish.In the mouth then fierce, lots of wood and very furry.I like it very much, although I would prefer the 2007.
Review by Paul Christiaens
Verdict: great rum, with intense wood maturation, yet without losing the distillery character. It's not sweet, dark, roasted and woody, with medium esters on pineapple and glue, blackbtea, briny olives, eucalyptus and spice. 87 points. Nose: Great medium to low level of esters, molten together with black tea, olive, brine, toasted oak. Pineapple, peach confectionery, glue. There is creamy vanilla note, and cake dough, tobacco leaf. Palate: oily, nice acidic, spicy and a bit drying, yet with enough "sweet" accents (well integrated alcohol). Darker, on black tea, roasted, a hint of smoke. Then brine, green olive, eucalyptus, green, pineapple, glue, ginger and clove. Finish: long, quite dark and spicy. Quite some toasted oak, a bit of smoke, pineapple, glue ginger, clove, black tea and briny olive.
Review by Tim
Insgesamt etwas schwächer als der WP 2005 von Hab. Velier, aber dennoch sehr ähnlich. An der Nase eine große Ladung Fruchtester, die auf eine ordentliche Bourbon-Fassnote trifft. Sehr würzig, herb, scharf trocken, Bitterschokolade und floral im Mund und Abgang.
Review by Sebastian Kornett
to warm up two small sips in advance. After that, it's really fun like the Hampden overproof. Beautiful WP. For the price clear purchase recommendation. I have also fallen in love with this one <3
Review by Lukas Jäger
Very inviting nose. On the palate, first wild esters and alcohol that almost overrun the tongue and deliver A nice Jamaican feeling in the form of papaya, banana and co. Then always spice and wood as well. Very complex and delicious, with nice fruity notes. But although I like high esters and cask strength, I find it a bit boisterous in the mouth.
Review by Giuseppe Ambrosio
Tra i tre, della serie HV, questo mark per me e’ quello più piacevole dei tre. Ottimo al naso, ottimo al palato con un bel finale. (PS: la votazione, come le impressioni, sono prettamente personali)
Review by Mentalo
I had the rum in the glass again after a long time and had to upgrade it a little. The integration of the alcohol remains a problem, but after a longer time in the glass you get very fine fruity notes, wood, spices, slightly mineral.
Review by tolf
Quite different from what I'm used to from Jamaica with Hampden, New Yarmouth, Monymusk and Long Pond. For me, it's very close to a fruit brandy and the alcohol should also be better integrated.
Review by Christoph
For Worthy Park typical fruit flavors are complemented here by smoky spicy notes. Especially the finish is strongly reminiscent of cigar and some chocolate and is rather atypical for the otherwise all-around fruity Worthy Parks, but it fits here.
Review by Rene Pfeiffer
Beautifully complex. The typical banana flavor combined with wood and nice soft estery notes that become more the longer the rum can breathe. Great.
Review by alex
I love it. Perfect this juice. Beautiful color, great nose, and that sick taste 😍😍😍
Review by Vincent D
Pas de doute sur la provenance de ce rhum. Nez boisé, fruité, des esters, de la banane. En bouche, l'alcool est puissant mais correctement intégré. Les premières impressions se confirment. Funky à souhait. Très agréable. Merci à Rodolphe pour le sample
Review by Jarek
Lecker. Ich muss den mal im direkten Vergleich zum WPM von LMDW testen.
Review by Beancheese
Full disclosure- not usually a big fan of Worthy Park. Not to say I dislike them but they don’t particularly appeal that much either. This one noticeably stood out as more estery than what I’ve had from WP in the past and got me excited. Aside from esters there was the usual wood and caramel, vanilla and a surprising amount of fruit. But there was also a bit of solvents and something a tick harsh. On the palate this one was more woody than the nose suggested. Spicy, estery, roasty and some intensity. The fruit was overpowered by the barrel influence. Some smoke and leather popping in there too. Has some rough edges in a good way, and it grew on me with time, but still not a fave by any stretch.
Review by Émile Shevek
Al naso è corposo e intenso con note di esteri di frutta tropicale matura, vernice/smalto, bosco/barile/pelle e qualche sentore floreale e di uvetta, davvero complesso e intrigante con una grande rotondità. Al palato è altrettanto intenso ed avvolgente ripresentando le stesse note in modo deciso con una cornice un po' secca e l'aggiunta di spezie, tostatura, qualche agrume e noccioline, sempre con molta rotondità, equilibrio ed un Abv integratissimo. Finale medio lungo e deciso. Il voto oscilla tra 8.5 e 8.6.
Review by Stylo
Color: Amber with mahogany nuances. Good viscosity and oiliness, with well defined legs.Nose: In the opening, caramel, dried fruit, sweet notes of vanilla and chocolate, with hints of olive. With oxygenation, notes of honey come out.Mouth: sweet notes of caramel in the opening, followed by very pungent spicy hints. Persistent olive scent.Very round and persistent in the mouth. Notes of red fruits are perceived - strawberry and cherry above all.
Review by Luca
Für mich ist diese Abfüllung eine ganz besondere, da sie mir vor einigen Jahren das erste mal gezeigt hat was eine längere tropische Lagerung ausmachen kann. Schmeckt wie ein Sehr guter Grays _ Mauritius Rum mit zusätzlicher Ester/Frucht Power. Absolute WP Spitzenliga.
Review by Rumpalumpa
Ein schöner Worthy Park bei der einen nicht unbedingt mit Estern bombardiert, sondern sie etwas hinter der Würze vom Fass hält. Alkohol ist spürbar. die Früchte und scharfe Würze bleibt lanfe im Abgang
Review by Agricoler
Day 7 Sample de Luxe Calendar. Wow, I just love Worthy Park, for me it is a wonderful blend of fruit, esters, spices and woodiness. Really good Worthy Park which was really great for the price at the time. Top PLV
Review by Maxime Clr 🇫🇷
Super nez hyper gourmand ! Raisins, fruits tropicaux, un peu d’ester ! La bouche elle, suit la gourmandise du nez ! Plein de fruits, un peu d’esters, du poivre et du piment. C’est très très bon 🥹
Review by Thunderbird
Nose: first a sweet scent of fresh pineapple and banana, then ester and vanilla Palate: creamy / velvety spreads the rum, woody and spiciness spreads, green pepper joins it, at the end develops a slight sour note,In the finish then sweetness and wood againTasty
Review by Cinci
Gefällt mir leicht besser als die Abfüllung von 2007, wirkt intensiver und stäker. Einzig der Alkohol düfte etwas besser eingebunden sein. Von den Noten dominieren tropische Früchte (Mango, Banane), Würze, Ester, Lösungsmittel, Vanille und Leder
Review by Serge
Also delicious Worthy Park with a little more ester and tropical fruit than the 2007 WPL. For me personally, the WPL profile wins here in a direct comparison, as the lower esters simply fit better here and it is somewhat finer in the mouth.
Review by Barnagricole
Bois vert dérangeant en bouche, peut-être un défaut de chauffe au niveau du fût
Review by Marcel.
Very nice drink. one of the best Jamaicans I tried so far. It very much shines on the palate with a lot of complexity and balance. Has a little bit of everything . You get a lot here for the price. Considering to buy my own bottle.
Review by tojo
Very promising nose with dried fruit, pineapple, papaya, vanilla and croissant. The palate is dominated by tart notes of wood, leather and coffee. Finish with bitter notes.
Review by Jeremy Roger 🇫🇷
A tropical fruity and a solvent side well dosed. A not unpleasant bitterness! It is good, powerful and balanced.
Review by Djehey
J'aime bien les worthy park. Ils sont moins exigeants que d'autres jamaïcains. Le boisé se fait bien sentir et amène une touche vanillé et pâtissière agréable au classique fruits tropicaux/ esters. En plus je trouve cela permet de dompter ces arômes. A tester en face de son alter ego de la distillerie.
Review by Johannes
Relatively atypical WP, which goes more in the direction of MM!
Review by Michal S
Velmi pěkná vůně tropického ovoce a šťavnatá chuť s dojezdem do dřeva s trochou ostrosti. V přímém srovnání s ročníky 2005 a 2007 je o něco pozadu, ale rozhodně jde o solidní rum s výborným poměrem cena-výkon.
Review by Tobin
Gefühlt noch etwas fruchtiger als andere Worthy Parks. Super leckeres, fruchtiges Profil in der Nase. Im Geschmack etwas mehr würzig, aber auch nicht aufdringlich. Definitiv auch eine Empfehlung zum Tasting
Review by TheJackDrop
Un profil un peu plus esterisé mais finalement plus rond que son frere de 2007 et moins épicé. Finale également plus courte à mon sens.
