Review by LukaŽiga
8,2:On the nose it points directly to Jamaica, with lots of very ripe banana. There's the funky influence of pot still distillation, fresh that balances well with the banana. There's also something medicinal, like pine thorns oozing resin. There is some candied cherry, spices such as curry or caraway seeds come in, then more vegetal notes, with hay and lemongrass, flowery. On aeration, the banana is more is adorned with wood and spice, as well as a vegetal, licorice.Various plants and herbs maintain the medicinal side of this rum, pine sap and also a little cherry pit.Some tea, brioche yeast and honey follow as well as a pastry, marzipan. 8,3:On the palate, the attack is powerful, with smoky notes, spicy.There are metallic tones, cocoa and black licorice. The banana is ripe, perhaps.The currants contribute to this impression, which is darker and deeper than the nose would suggest, besides that, some citrus fruits pop out and salted pastry. 8:The finish is medium long, dry, there are sweet spices, medicinal notes, grassy molasses, banana lingers on...

Too sharp. Very molasses-like smell
Review by Johannes
Amazingly good! Fantastic price-performance ratio. You can clearly taste Worthy Park, the PX finish is not superficial and very well integrated!

Review by Thomas
Price very interesting and quite tasty, but not a particularly great Jamaican. But should not be missing in a collection.

Review by cigares
A rum that seems good, especially considering its price. Fruity as can be, balanced even if it has no depth. But add a drop of water and it loses a lot of flavor. Too bad and a big kudos to the blender for making the best of what he had. Perfect ABV. Tasted again and still disappointing.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
One of the best rums in its price range. Definitely a good rum and I can only recommend it.
Review by Vincent D
A pleasant Worthy Park. But the olorosso finish isn't my thing. Edit: new tasting via a new sample. My first rating was a bit harsh but I'm still not seduced. This is a Worthy Park with too much alcohol and not much room for the usual WP markers. The sherry cask finish adds a touch of grape, which I personally have a lot of trouble with. Not for me.
Review by rum_sk
5 YO Worthy Park at 50% abv matured first in Jamaica for 15 to 18 mths and then in Italy in Oloroso & Pedro Ximenez casks. This one is really heavy in the taste. Nose is nice, typical funky Jamaica but the taste is more robust than the nose. Lot of funk/esters along with fruity aroma in the nose but palate gives more woody and heavy full bodied taste of Jamaican rum. Lots of wood in the aftertaste that is super long. Not sure about this piece after first 4 cl. Have to give it another go. So far I have mixed feelings as I really like the nose but taste is kind of too heavy due to its strong ,,sheriff woody,, taste. I would go with 72/100 for a start. I think we will get along just fine as soon as I will get used to that strong woody taste. Let me know what do you think. Retaste: Nice rum but very raw and rough probably due to its age. I had younger but they were not as sharp as this one, therefore I am pulling down my original rating. Retaste 30.4.2023 I have to say that Oloroso finish is giving it a rounder sweeter character. Just a side note I am tasting it after Smith&Cross which is chilly/peppery and this one is better and more complex in taste. I like the nose of S&C more though. The Oloroso gives it more chocolate and creamy feel to it. Still you can sense a hell lot of Jamaica and woody, fruity notes. Nice rum that I appreciated fully only later when I tasted more and more rums.
Review by TheJona'Spirits
Déguster lors d'une Masterclass RumNation. 👃 Funk léger mais reconnaissable, très fruité. fruits tropicaux, pomme légère, cerise, frutis secs, carambole mûre. Légères épices boisées, ester, colle et vernis doux. Caramel de fruits, tabac blond. 😋 Les esters doux, vernis léger, assez alcoolique. Un peu plus de bois, d'épices, de réglisse douce. Encore beaucoup de fruits entre mûrs et très mûrs, de tropicaux aux fruits secs du sherry. Un côté viennoiseries de pain aux raisins. ⛳ De moyenne à longue, assez chaude et alcooleuse. Fruité secs médicamenteux pas très agréable, puis amertume légère de la cerise au chocolat et du bois épicé. 💡 Un jeune Worthy Park, fruité, légèrement funky, pas très complexe mais relativement agréable. l'ABV pourrait être mieux intégré. Pour découvrir la signature funky des Rum jamaïcains, avec juste ce qu'il faut d'esters et de finition sherry douce. Je monte la note car cette embouteillage a un très bon RQP.
