The Habitation Velier 2007 Worthy Park WPL Jamaica is a 10-year aged, limited-release rum, distilled at the historic Worthy Park distillery in Jamaica. This single vintage rum is part of the WPL classification, known for its light congener level. Distilled in 2007 from molasses using a Pot Still, it was then matured in oak casks for a decade under the tropical, humid climate of Jamaica. Bottled at an impressive 59% ABV, this rum is a true gem for collectors and enthusiasts.
The nose of this rum reveals a light Worthy Park style, with a subtle banana polish and a fruity, syrupy aroma. The palate offers a delightful blend of dried fruits, including apricot, mango, caramelized apple, dates, figs, pears, and cherry. The mid-palate is gently pastry-like, with almond and sweet milk caramel notes. The rum dances on the palate, with the banana, a signature of the distillery, remaining light and orange jam-like.
With some airing, the nose becomes fluffy and silky, with a velvety fruitiness and honeyed, soft woody notes. The rum caramelizes on the edges, becoming candied in honey. The palate offers lively aromas of pineapple, coconut, dried tea, milk chocolate, toffee, and caramel, followed by notes of almond, cashew, cinnamon, ginger, orange, and banoffee pie that linger in the finish.
This rum is a true testament to Worthy Park's ability to work with both heavy and light rums, resulting in a perfectly balanced and aromatic spirit. Bottled in 2017, it is free of any added sugar, caramel, or other additives.
