The Worthy Park 2012 Oloroso Jamaica Rum Special Selection Series #2 is a 5-year-old rum with an ABV of 59% and a volume of 700ml. This exceptional rum was distilled in 2012 using a copper pot still and initially aged for 4 years in a former bourbon barrel made from American white oak, used only once. The final year of aging was completed in Europe with an Oloroso sherry cask, adding a unique finishing touch. This rum is bottled at cask strength, ensuring no reduction before bottling.
On the nose, it offers a precise and direct aroma with a blend of spicy and vegetal milk chocolate notes, reminiscent of Mexican hot chocolate. The initial impression is one of serious, sober, and elegant woodiness, which is unexpected yet delightful for such a vibrant distillery. As you continue to explore the aroma, hints of precious wood and wax polish evoke the exotic ambiance of an old museum cabinet filled with cigar smoke and incense. With aeration, the rum reveals a powerful alcoholic presence without being overly ethereal, unfolding a complex woodiness intertwined with notes of cane, dried fruits, and fresh banana, strikingly similar to whisky. Additional layers of vinegar, oxidation, and nuts lead to a rich cherry note, making the nose both powerful and refined.
The palate presents a concentrated and overwhelming attack, introducing flavors of wax-like wood and a riper, thicker banana profile compared to the nose. The vegetal spices are radiant and resinous, contributing to a dynamic and evolving flavor profile. Almond (amaretto) notes blend seamlessly with cherry and spices, while the wood provides the necessary structure to support this complex medley of flavors.
The Worthy Park distillery, the oldest in Jamaica, resumed operations after several decades of inactivity and launched its premium rum series under its own brand called "Cask Selection Series" in 2017. Only 428 bottles were produced from this specific cask, emphasizing its exclusivity. Due to the limited allocation, customers are restricted to purchasing only one bottle per order.
