The Worthy Park 2008 Jamaica Rum Cask Selection Series #5 is a highly sought-after limited-edition rum. Distilled in 2008 using a pot still, this exceptional spirit has an Alcohol By Volume (ABV) of 56% and is bottled in a 700ml format. Crafted at the renowned Worthy Park distillery in Jamaica, this rum is a testament to the brand's commitment to quality and tradition. With only 585 bottles produced, each bottle offers an exclusive taste experience.
Worthy Park 2008 exudes a delightful aroma featuring a medley of vanilla, ripe banana, exotic fruits like coconut, and a hint of fresh menthol. The nose is further enriched by a touch of vanilla, although some might find the red wine notes a bit heavy. On the palate, the rum is powerful and slightly acidic, delivering a complex blend of dried fruits, banana, mocha, and a peppery, salty undertone. The texture is notably oily, adding to the richness of the experience.
As the rum opens up, it reveals lighter and more vibrant notes of fresh fruits such as quince, apple, and pear. A hint of copper adds a touch of exoticism, while the finish is long and smooth, characterized by flavors of anise, prunes, and a subtle peppery note. With aeration, the rum intensifies, with the wood taking on a tobacco-like quality, and the palate is treated to a symphony of flavors, including spices and prunes.
Overall, this rum offers a rich, fruity, and round port finish that retains its signature Jamaican funky profile. It's a must-try for any rum aficionado looking to explore the unique and distinctive flavors of Jamaican rum.
