Wolfgang Klotz Spirits Worthy Park Jamaica Rum WP-WPL WPL 2007

People who want Worthy Park without the ester-bomb intensity will feel at home here. The WPL mark keeps the funk low, so what you get is banana, mango and papaya over peppery, dry oak, with a caramel-honey edge. At 61.5% the alcohol reads surprisingly gentle, and several tasters were "positiv überrascht" — pleasantly surprised — by how rounded and drinkable it is.

The community says
  • Ripe tropical fruit
  • ABV well integrated
  • Slight bitterness

Blindtasting Worthy Park with: HV WPL (RX272) HV WPM (RX1089) Schotman (RX17173) Wolfgang Klotz (RX21848) TWJ (RX14182) 3rd place (8.4): TWJ. The nose is quite closed and ends up being a bit unbalanced on both the nose and the palate. Slightly bitter on the palate and also on the finish. 2nd place (8.6): HV WPL + WK Spirits. The WK has more wood and spices overall and, with plenty of time in the glass, also more fruity aromas. The HV WPL also needs a little time in the glass, but then has a beautifully complex nose. On the palate, alongside trop. Fruits on the palate as well as subtle glue and esters. 1st place (8.7): HV WPM + Schotman. The Schotman is probably the most rounded WP in crosstasting with a nice peach note. The WPM stands out somewhat with its smoky aromas and licorice. WP has been under my radar so far, wrongly so. I am really positively surprised and will probably have a WP in my glass more often in the future :)

Blind tasting with the Franconian Tasting Gang. Thanks to Chris2302 for the grasti sample you provided. Very wicked, I honestly didn't think of it. Unfortunately, I lack a little comparison with other bottlings from the distillery. Conclusion: solid

klar, beim WPL Marque kommt jetzt kein Ester-Kracher an der Nase, aber ich bin angenehm überrascht. Sehr rund, viel tropische Frucht, Mango, Papaya, Banane, karamellige Süße, nussig, (Eis-)Konfekt. Am Gaumen tropische Früchte, würzig, Fass, leichte Bitterkeit, die, zusammen mit dem hohen ABV (gut integriert), einen langen Abgang trägt. Gefällt mir ziemlich gut!

Ein kräftiger, würziger und holziger Worthy Park aus dem tollen 2007er Jahrgang der Destille. Alles in allem ein sehr guter Rum, der sein ganzes Potential irgendwie nicht an den Gaumen zu bringen vermag. Vielen Dank für dss Sample @Wolfgang Klotz

8,6:On the nose, solvents and vegetal molasses, woody notes at first with cinnamon, nuts, burnt sugar, honey and tropical fruits like banana, citrus. On aeration, the molasses is floral and grassy, perhaps with tea, the esters level is low, roastedness brings some caramel. 8,5:On the palate, the attack is spicy and fruity, vegetal with notes like vanilla, pepper, salt from spices, banana, mango, hints of red fruits and citrus from fruits, flowery and herbaceous molasses, honey.The wood is roasted with crème brûlée, burnt sugar, confectionery like fruitcake. 8,4:The finish is quite long, dry and tannic, a bit smoky, there is a note of crunchy bread, nuts and caramel, spices and tropical fruits..

Ein sehr kräftiger, aber eher runder Worthy Park. Typisches Profil mit etwas Kokosnuss. Im Mund dann etwas schärfer und funky. Äußert kräftig. Holziger, würziger Abgang. Sehr guter WP! Kann gut mit der 12 jährigen Standardabfüllung mithalten.

In der Nase ein sehr spannender Geruch. See, bisschen Ester und leichte Florale Noten. Vielleicht etwas Zimt Im Mund warm, süß und würzig (Pfeffer) mit leichtem Ester. Leicht bitter, holzig und Alkohol finde ich super eingebunden. Sehr schönes Teil, war wirklich skeptisch vorher aber komplett überzeugt.

Und dann warten wir mal noch die 3 von Herrn Klotz ab ;) Als erstes Jamaica, ja der Typ hat Geschmack. Vergorene, überreife Früchte, vor allem Banane gibt es hier. Am Gaumen dann auch etwas Mango, aber auch Zuckerrohr.
