The Worthy Park 2010 Madeira is a 10-year-old Jamaican rum from the renowned Worthy Park distillery, founded in 1670. This rum is part of the Special Cask Series and has been produced via pot still distillation from molasses, then bottled at 45% ABV. It offers a pleasant aroma of sour cherry, lime, tropical fruit, fruity notes, and young wood. The flavor profile features peppery, red fruits, woody, tropical fruit, and citrus notes with a touch of complexity, showcasing the appealing combination of the spicy-fresh WP-profile and the complementary addition of dried fruits from the Madeira cask aging.
Distilled in 2010 and initially aged for 8 years in once-used Ex-Bourbon casks made of American white oak, it then underwent an additional 2 years of aging in Ex-Madeira casks for added depth and complexity. The final product is bottled at 45% ABV. This molasses-based rum has undergone a second maturation phase in ex-Madeira wine barrels, adding layers of dried fruit throughout the palate alongside pineapple, cinnamon, ginger, and oak notes.
The Worthy Park Madeira 2010 showcases typical notes of banana and tea on the nose, complemented by vanilla, cake, and milk. As it evolves, one can detect tannins, red wine, and a hint of forest fruit jam. The dark Worthy Park Jamaica Rum Special Cask Madeira develops a more rooty character with a light bitterness towards the finish, complemented by oak and ginger, highlighting the influence of the Madeira cask finishing.
The key aromas include notes of young wood, vanilla, sour cherry, tropical fruit, caramel, floral elements, raspberry, and pine.
The palate offers a blend of sweet, spicy, and woody flavors, with notes of varnish, red fruits, red wine, and citrus.
The aftertaste lingers with hints of toffee, oak, and red fruits, alongside a touch of spice and bitterness.
This rum is unique due to its additional 2-year maturation in Ex-Madeira casks, which adds layers of dried fruit, pineapple, cinnamon, ginger, and oak notes, resulting in a complex and multifaceted rum experience.
Overall, reviews are mixed but highlight various strengths and weaknesses of Worthy Park 2010 Madeira 10yo. Some find it to be a very round, easy-drinking rum with a well-complemented spicy-fresh WP profile and dried fruit notes. The nose is often praised for its broad, fruity aroma profile, while the palate is sometimes considered less balanced and overly diluted. Despite the 45% ABV, some reviewers feel the alcohol is not well integrated. Many appreciate the rum's finish, noting its intensity with flavors of vanilla, toffee, and banana. In direct comparisons, some prefer it over other cask finishes, considering it fresh with red fruit notes.
