Habitation Velier Worthy Park Forsyths White WPE 2017
Overripe banana, glue and nail polish hit first, then it turns unexpectedly savory — green olive brine, salty hay, a touch of anise. This unaged Worthy Park WPE is a "bombe aromatique" one taster called it, wild and complex at 57%. Many rate it their favorite daiquiri base, though a few find the dry, briny side gets in the way of that.
The community says- Wild ester complexity
- Great in daiquiris
- Dry, briny palate

How does Habitation Velier Worthy Park Forsyths White WPE 2017 taste?
Aggregated from 92 community reviews.
Funky, briny unaged Worthy Park, daiquiri star Loved by high-ester fans for its fruity-funky-briny complexity and killer daiquiris. A few felt the dry, olive-forward palate lets down the fruity nose; one hated the petrol-olive mix outright.
Fans of high-ester Jamaican funk and daiquiri builders
Beginners put off by glue, brine and high proof

Review by robinho92
Un jamaïcain à part entière. Totalement fan de sa puissance et de l’arôme qu’il dégage. Coup de cœur.
Review by Flo
Surprisingly in a bad way, if you have any respect for your nasal area and palate, skip it. This mixture of both olive and petroleum products is not the most beautiful effect.
Review by Daniel
Jamaika - Stark ausgeprägtes Potpourri aus Lack, Estern aber vor allem Früchten. Beiläufig Tabak & Honig. Herrliches Hochestererlebnis. Zu Beginn weiß er durch deutliche Fruchtsüße zu gefallen, bevor sich der Honig durchsetzt. Dieser gewinnt mit Zeit immer mehr an Süße/Intensität. Am Ende rauchige Noten. Kaufempfehlung! Obwohl ungelagert, kann man für den Preis nichts falsch machen. Ob pur oder auch im Cocktail, funky Trinkerlebnis.
Review by Mc Pirate
Ethers ++ au nez!! Dans un verre à déguster le vin encore plus ! Presque désagréable avec une acidité très surprenante ! Par contre en bouche, nous sommes quasiment sur de l’eau de vie de canne avec une finale légèrement fruité. C’est assez déroutant pour un blanc !! En revanche, à proscrire pour un Ti-Punch, ça fait ressortir toute l’amertume des éthers, très désagréable. Rhum très intéressant parce que déroutant et unique!
Review by TheRhumhoe
The kind of powerful, aromatic white rum we love. Worthy Park flexes its muscles with this bottling, which is full-bodied, intense and funky on the nose. Phenolic and ferm notes combine with brine and ripe tropical fruit, while a hint of spice and freshness counterbalance the extreme profile. It's cleaver, dirty and provocative all at once. The attack on the palate is lively, astringent and explosive. This is clearly a rum of great aroma, with multiple facets: exotic fruits, phenolic and fermentation flavors, spices and saltiness, floral notes... it's a veritable cocktail of flavors, extremely rich. The alcohol is very well integrated. The extremely long finish is adorned with honeyed, spicy, salty, earthy, grassy, smoky and even metallic notes of copper. The Jamaican funk is ever present, both brutal and exuberant. A veritable festival of flavors for an extreme aromatic profile that's also extremely tasty. Needless to say, cocktails with this rum become immediately more exciting.
Review by Thunderbird
Ein angenehmer würziger holziger Jamaikaner!
Review by PRV
Уххх…как же это необычно. Ананас, бананы в перемешку с жидкостью для снятия лака, сок консервированных зеленых оливок, прилично дымный и пряный мескаль, кислый манго, древесные смолы. Во вкусе уксус из тропических фруктов, мескальный дымок, жаренные зеленые оливки на деревенском оливковом мосле, фанки нот тоже достаточно. Послевкусие продолжительное эфирно-терпкое, с древесно-смоляной горчинкой. Невероятно сложный и вкусный эфирно-альдегидный ньюмек. Можно насладиться в чистом виде, но думаю будет просто незаменимым в коктейлях, например в Дайкири. Очень круто!
Review by Galli33
Oh yes baby 😎 That‘s a delicious WPE 🤤🤤 Nose: Overriped fuits, apple, black bananas, papaya, mango, glue, nail polish and a full truckload of esters😬🫨🤤 Mouth: In addition to the previous notes I found some floral hay and honey notes! The alcohol is perfect integrated Finish: dry delicious and medium long
Review by HenryL
A crass combination of apple and banana on the nose. With a hint of vinegar. There is a slight hint of licorice behind it. The taste can't quite keep up, but the banana and great fruitiness remain.
Review by BjörnNi 🥃
A really strong Worthy Park...
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This is a retaste and I stick to my score. Pretty good rum from Habitation. The nose is wonderfully fruity with the typical funk, ester and glue and maybe some varnish/polish in the back. The palate is complex and well balanced, again with a nice funk and lots of fruits. A bit dry with wood and wet hay. The finish is long and fruity with a tad of funk and wood.
Review by TheJackDrop
"An excellent white jam that I recommend and that made me want to go further! The bottle is now empty! In summary, my tasting notes: On the nose: Ester, Glue, Varnish On the palate: Honeyed, Tropical fruit, Pineapple, Intense, Ester, Funky Finish: Honeyed, Fruity, Herbaceous, Clove, Metallic".
Review by Christoph
Erinnert mich im Geruch und Geschmack an den Worthy Park Single Cask aus 2017, wobei die Velier Variante etwas milder ist.
Review by Rare Akuma
Nosing reveals a combination of fruits, spices and chemistry. Starts off with all kinds of banana accompanied by red and green apple. Sharpness is further introduced with sour raspberries and later light vinegar notes. There’s a bit of sweet herbaceousness from sugarcane, as well as wood and smoke from juniper. A touch of aniseed wraps up the spicy profile. We continue with chemical notes, primarily hot glue and polish, but also some rubber and burnt plastic. Sipping initially overwhelms the tastebuds with harsh butyric acid, quickly redeveloping into more pleasant notes. More hot glue, rubber, polish and vinegar. And eventually again banana and spicy, woody notes from anise and juniper. Finish is light and dry. The pharmacy shuts down and high quality honey and raspberry are reintroduced. This is a very strong and wild unaged rum that has many applications in mixology, but can also be enjoyed neat.
Review by Tobin
In der Nase definitiv anspruchsvoller als im Geschmack und auch nicht der neue Lieblingsrum; aber trotzdem eine spannende Sache! Beim Geruch wird man neben den ganzen Fruchtnoten den Eindruck von Olivenlake/Dirty Martini nicht los.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Brutally complex! Fruit, acid, salty, herbaceous, metallic, funky esterig, umami. Very wacky and does really well in the daiquiri 🤤💯In terms of worthy Park probably one of the best I know😅
Review by zabo
From the first nose, it reminded me of a cold bath, the typical distinguishing mark of a pinimenthol bath additive. But rather subtle. Ester is also clearly recognizable, but not as intense as the Hampden DOK I tasted before. The taste is funky and intense with a slight sweetness. The finish is rather short. Definitely also a good mixer.
Review by Serge
Schon deutlich besser als die Overproofs der OBs … pur sehr gut trinkbar und eine Granate im Daiquiri. Klassisch oder auch mit ein bisschen Banana Oleo Saccharum und Salz. Guter weißer für die Hausbar und zum Sippe 👌
Review by Johannes
Wow, I am thrilled! Complex rum with a mixture of peach, salt, mandarin, ester and strawberry. I haven't had a white rum with so many layers in a long time!
