Worthy Park Single Estate Reserve
Sipped neat, this is the Worthy Park most people reach for first: ripe banana, pineapple, a little glue and solvent, then vanilla and gentle oak. At 45% the funk is dialed back compared to a Hampden, so it reads soft and rounded. A few find it thin on the finish or a touch sharp for the strength, but many call it a "lovely sipper" for any evening.
The community says- Banana and tropical fruit
- Gentle, integrated funk
- Thin finish

How does Worthy Park Single Estate Reserve taste?
Aggregated from 277 community reviews.
Soft, banana-heavy first Jamaican Most tasters treat this as the friendly gateway to Jamaican rum — banana, fruit and mild funk, well-integrated alcohol. The catch: some find it a bit thin, dry or hot for 45%.

It’s a really great rum and excellent introduction to Jamaican rum with a blend aged 6-10 years that’s flavourful, smooth and complex with a rather long finish. Bought some bottles of it together with some others from Worthy Park during the last Rum Cruise with Birka Cruises in the Baltic Sea after tasting it at Ian Burrell’s blind taste. I really like that they now are on their own because I’m more interested in having bottles from the actually distillery than from independent bottlers. On the added photo is the bottles included at Ian Burrell’s Blindtest.

Promising start turns bitter. On the cusp of greatness but poor aging/blending practises ruin the experience completely.
Review by Pawel Furman
Delicious rum, Jamaican funk, completely different from classic sweet rums, exotic fruits, bananas, cocoa, pleasant tannins, spices. Pleasant, lasting, fresh, dry and slightly salty finish. For me, as a whisky lover, this rum is what I'm looking for. Great balance of aromas, taste and strength.
Review by Christoph
Super pleasant and soft estery notes on the nose. Rather dry, tropical fruits, some banana in the mouth. A wonderful Jamaican rum from WP if it does not have to be an ester bomb from Hampden. Good for beginners.
Review by bankok
Für mich ist Whisky zu mäßig, sehr hart und riecht nach Öl. Nicht meins.
Review by Martin Ekrt
For the umpteenth time, I'm going back to Select. My least favourite rum from my favourite distillery. The aroma probably reminds me more of Guyana than Worthy Park. I finally figured it out. It tastes like young Guyana, too. I don't think it fits WP's production, but it's not bad.
Review by Rado Vito
Sweet vanilla smell with yellow melon in background. The taste is soft, but it is a little bit kicky, body is dry with sweet butter flavor. I guess you can like it, but I didn´t.
Review by Tim
A good rum for a successful introduction to the world of Jamaica, which is very intense despite being 45%. Balanced, complex and round with beautiful aromas and all at a very fair price. Very fruity with lots of apple, citrus fruit and banana, complemented by wood, caramel, chocolate and floral notes.

Review by TheJackDrop
Notes taken during the Rhum Fest 2024, Quick notes and a bit heavy palate, sorry :) Here we have: a fine success, a well-balanced rum with quite a long finish for its 45 degrees. Rum: sweet, with spices and vanilla Finish: a hint of cardamom, menthol or licorice? Rather nice, probably a little expensive, but good...
Review by Mirko Frosini 🇮🇪
Interesting rum mainly because I found it an unusual Jamaican because of some of the fruity notes. As the mere novice that I am, at a blind tasting, I would have mistaken it for an agricultural. Very light toastiness. Medium-long finish with a prevalence of lychee.
Review by Patrik Onderka
This is my second Worthy Park tasting, I found 12y little more matured and smoother, but this one is still very tasty. It’s typical Jamaica, I liked esters in this one and also alcohol (45%) is really well integrated and its quite smooth and pleasant finish. Definitely worth the tasting. I can recommend.

All my Tastings and Scores are purely based on “Rums under £50”. I rarely look at Rums over £50 for my YouTube.
Review by Galli33
Really good starter rum, especially to enter in the wonderfull world of jamaican rums. Very pleasant to drink. Nose is fruity with some esters and a light floral, marzipan, woody notes. The various notes of trop. fruits, esters and wood contiues in mouth. The finish is medium long with various notes. Perfect in combination with a mild cigar👌🏻👌🏻
Review by Gregor
I like this one very much. Clean harmonious and yet beautiful Jamaican tones. Intense of tropical fruit. In the smell and taste banana is very present
Review by zabo
After a long time, I have once again torn open a rum that accompanied me in my early days. For the price, this is a real underdog for me. With a little more ABV, it would be an absolute cracker. As a mixer, it's excellent and all for under €40 at the time
Review by Montana
A very fruity smell, slightly sweet. The taste is slightly bitter and sharp, later becomes sweeter and fruity in the mouth.The finish is quite long.
Review by LukaŽiga
8:The nose is instantly recognizable. Banana, a brioche, more or less resin and stone with funkiness. At first, it's the dried banana that takes the cake, a banana is very ripe, there are herbal notes/annis, mint, also a hint of vanilla tobacco and yeast, with a pinch of tonka bean.With aeration, a pine is mingled with our dried banana with some peppery notes. The balance between medicinal and pastry is admirably delicious. The rum becomes grassy and green apple arises. The woodiness is chocolatey, caramelized, toasted and ripe exotic fruits, like stewed peaches mingle with cereals.Perfect pie or tarte. 8:The palate is quite dry, unlike the nose, sweetness is natural and tasty.After this rather spicy- peppery with very mild cinnamon, woody attack, the banana is tastier than ever. It's surrounded by spices and brioche yeast, which adds some bitterness with caramel, all becomes very thick but buttery.There are nice floral(perfum) notes also 7,8:On the finish, a bit metallic, pine resin, yeasty pastry linger, with mild bitterness, raisins and raspberries. Edit:6.4.25, still tasty, 29.4.26
Review by Werner10
Price vs quality is very good. Easy to drink and still has the Jamaican profile without being too funky.

Read full review →I'm pleased to see Worthy Park getting out there with their own "brand" on the shelves. I could (and might well in the future) give this rum a 5 star rating but for now I'll keep the bar high and see if they can exceed themselves beyond this rum..... Unmistakably...
Expert review by Zucker und Zeste
Sehr Weicher, runder und komplexer Jamaikaner aus der wahrscheinlich nachhaltigsten Rumdestillerie der Welt. Schöner langer fruchtiger Abgang mit den typischen Bananen Aromen. Macht Spaß ihn zu trinken!
