The SMWS 2010 Worthy Park R11.5 7yo 66.1% 700ml is an exceptional Jamaican rum hailing from the renowned Worthy Park distillery, which has been producing top-notch rum since its reopening in 2005. This unique bottling, distilled on May 1st, 2010, was matured in a refill ex-bourbon barrel for 7 years and boasts an impressive outturn of only 273 bottles. With a robust ABV of 66.1%, this rum promises an intense and complex drinking experience. Upon opening, the rum requires a bit of patience to reveal its full potential. Once it does, you'll encounter a classic Worthy Park profile, albeit with a slightly disjointed transition from nose to palate. The aroma is rich with buttery vanilla, coconut mochi, black breakfast tea, and abundant ripe bananas, living up to the WPL marque's reputation. The palate offers a full-bodied Worthy Park experience with delightful flavors of banana bread, chocolate chips, spice bun, sweet milky tea, and subtle hints of Maltesers. Mid-palate, you'll find a spicy medley of black and Szechuan peppercorns, mace, cinnamon, allspice, and fresh ginger root. The finish is reminiscent of spice bun drizzled with molasses. While the nose might initially seem restrained, the palate's expressiveness and classic nature shine through, making this rum a solid and enjoyable choice. It may not reach the pinnacle of some distillery or independent bottlings, but it certainly offers a unique and flavorful drinking experience. With a solid 3.5 out of 5 rating, this bottling is a must-try for fans of Jamaican rum or those looking to explore Worthy Park's offerings.
