Aroma visualization from community tastings
Worthy Park RA 2007
People are genuinely split here, and it comes down to one thing: the Islay whisky cask. Several blind tasters didn't peg it as Jamaican at all — the Worthy Park fruit basket gets, as one member put it, smoked away. What's left is ash, tobacco, peat and cigar smoke over faint banana and citrus. Whisky drinkers adore it; classic-rum fans often don't. At 57.3% it's hot and needs time.
The community says- Big peat and smoke
- Long ashy finish
- Smoke buries the fruit

How does Worthy Park RA 2007 taste?
Aggregated from 54 community reviews.
Peaty whisky-cask Worthy Park, smoke over fruit Loved by peat and whisky fans, a hard pass for others. The smoke and cigar ash dominate the Worthy Park fruit — one taster gifted his sample away, another wanted "more of it."

Review by Murphy
Mein lieber Scholli - ist der gut. Also, jedenfalls für einen leidenschaftlichen Whiskytrinker. Die Nase geht glatt für einen potweinfassgelagerten Bunnahabhain durch. Auf der Zunge offenbart er sich dann doch als Rum, ein sehr leckerer. Das Islayfass tritt zurück, bleibt aber mit schönem angenehmen Holzaroma präsent. Würzig, rund, süffig. Trotz 57 Umdrehungen angenehmes Mundgefühl und wegen der 57 Umdrehungen ein voller Aromenpunch in die Fresse. Im Abgang bleibt ein angenehmer leichter kalter Aschehaufen, so wie man es sich bei einem Caol Ila wünschen würde. Mehr davon…….
Review by MarcT
Oh my God! The smoke is really overwhelming, and the Rum itself shines through it slightly at times. I would not have thought that a Jamaican Rum can be so... dwarfed by a Whisky cask finish. The finish is full of ash, which I still could taste hours later. This is not for me, I gifted the sample to a colleague who likes his Octomore.
Review by DomM
Islay notes are very dominant in the nose. Needs quite some time in the Glas to show some WP notes as well. The combination of Bowmore and WP seems to work pretty well. However, the whisky notes are very prominent which will definitely not please every rum lover out there :)
Review by Vincent D
Joli mélange au nez : worthy park fruité et esterisé bien présent mais talonné par des notes maltées et fumées. Il faut clairement aimer les rhums avec un finish whisky car I I le doute n'est pas permis. Même constat en bouche : un whisky fumé, légèrement tourbé, prend la suite d'un worthy park très classique. La banane de trouve donc remplacé par une tourbe assez nette. L'alcool est piquant. Notes végétales et amères en fin de bouche. Finale végétale et tourbée. Il faudrait tester ce rhum dans un Boulevardier revisité.
Review by Stefan L
Long time since last tasting and I still like it. - About a year ago since last tasting. I like it a lot. Sad my bottle is almost empty now.
Review by zabo
All in all, a delicious Worthy Park. Funnily enough, the smell and taste of whisky that I detect in this bottling doesn't even bother me that much. I actually quite like it. For whatever reason.
Review by Nivius
Here we have, or had, a super PLV. Beautiful WP ester with vanilla, tobacco, some leather and then also immediately joins the Islayeinfluss, which is amazing for Bowmore peaty notes to the rum on, which although this is not an easy-sipper and also very sharp, a beautiful harmonious composition.
Review by Christian Rudt
Nice to drink WP with smoky finish. Will probably no longer a fan of such finishes but it's time what different and who strains also gets a few fruity tones out. A very good rum only my taste he meets (at least today) not quite.
Review by SaibotZtar
Here comes (for me ) together what I do not like so.... Smoke ,ash and WP ... Fortunately only a sampler since I had such a premonition . Of course it is thereby NOT a bad rum just this time absolutely not mine ... F
Review by Rum Watcher
I'm not usually the biggest WP fan, but I really liked the bottling. Thanks @Kevin for sharing in Odense.
Review by Christoph
Whisky. Mehr muss man dazu eigentlich nicht sagen. Leider geschmacklich so gar nicht mein Fall. Der Worthy Park Fruchtkorb ist hier quasi nicht existent, er wurde im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes weg geraucht, da neben torfigen Whisky Noten noch ordentlich Tabak dazu kommt.
Review by Daniel
Die schon würzige Grundausrichtung des WP wird deutlich verstärkt durch den Islay Fass-Einfluss gepaart mit frischem Kräuterauftakt. In der Blinbverkostung nicht als Jamaikaner zu identifizieren, aber ein leckerer Rum
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
The nose is fruity and smoky with vanilla and a hint of tobacco. The palate is intense, spicy and has smoky wood with fruits and tobacco. I think whisky lovers will take a liking to this one because the flavours are pretty close to whisky. The fi isj is long and has smoky wood, tobacco and dried fruit to it. Price to quality is very good.
Review by Frank
When the nose has settled in, you immediately notice the smoky aroma of not too old cigar ash, behind it a light fruitiness, perhaps cherry, something fresh and lemony, then vanilla On the palate, the cigar ash comes back immediately, I literally have the feeling of dry ash in my throat. But it's not unpleasant. Some bitter notes on the back. Also some aniseed and sweet spiciness, but then cigar again. The finish also remains cigar and something salty-sweet. I've definitely drunk worse smoky rums.
Review by TheShark65
Für mich eine durchaus passende Kombination aus dem fruchtigen WP und dem keinesfalls erdrückenden Bowmore-Finish... Braucht Zeit und ist kein Easy-Sipper - hinterlässt aber einen bleibenden Eindruck.
Review by Thunderbird
The rum needs some time in the glass, initially the alcohol predominates, then banana, lemon and finally smoky accents appear. At first, the alcohol has to be tamed, then something peppery emerges and quickly changes to a woody, smoky, slightly astringent taste. Some fruity aromas of banana develop in the background. The finish is accompanied by smoky, slightly peaty and woody aromas. In my opinion, this is a high-quality rum overall, but it lacks a clear line
