The Bristol 2007 Worthy Park Reserve Rum of Jamaica is an exquisite 8-year-old rum distilled at the renowned Worthy Park distillery in Jamaica. This premium rum was distilled in a traditional pot still and spent 8 years maturing in American oak barrels under the tropical climate of Jamaica. Following this, it underwent further aging in a cool and damp cave in Bristol, England, before being meticulously bottled in 2015 by Bristol Classic Rum.
This rum greets you with a generous banana aroma that is plump, thick, and perfectly ripe, accompanied by a resinous hint that adds a brilliant and appetizing shine. Upon aeration, the aroma evolves, becoming less buttery and more complex with notes of stone fruit and almonds. The initial taste is smooth and lightly smoky, gradually revealing the banana notes before morphing into a whisky-like character. The flavor profile is enriched with elements of fruit, vanilla, spice, and wood, reminiscent of a fine malt whisky, making for a surprising yet enjoyable experience. The finish is elegant, featuring resinous wood, pepper, and a long-lasting, whisky-like conclusion.
The Worthy Park Reserve Rum stands as a testament to the distillery’s excellence in producing rich and decadent rums. Despite its opulence, it avoids being overwhelming, showcasing a well-executed and surprising complexity. The subtle influence of malt whisky adds to its unique character, making it an intriguing addition to any rum enthusiast's collection.
The primary aromas include tropical fruit such as banana, mango, raisin, along with malt, mineral, herbal, sandalwood, and a hint of rubber.
The taste profile includes roasted and tropical fruit, earthy notes, solvents, biscuits, sweetness, ester, citrus, caramelized, and dried fruit characteristics.
The finish is roasted and light, with notes of dried apricot, biscuits, and a crisp finish.
The Bristol 2007 Worthy Park Reserve Rum is distinguished by its complex and multifaceted flavor profile, along with its unique maturation process in both Jamaica and England. The subtle influence of malt whisky also adds to its distinctiveness.
Overall, Worthy Park Reserve Rum offers a complex and multifaceted flavor profile with notes of roasted fruit, earthy tones, minerals, and hints of spice and tropical character.
Some reviewers find this rum to possess classic Jamaican characteristics such as ripe fruit and varnish. However, there are mixed opinions regarding its reduced alcohol content. Some feel it tastes "thin" or watered down, which may require an adjustment for those accustomed to more potent rums. Despite these critiques, the rum's complexity and unique maturation process still make it a worthwhile addition to any collection.
