The Worthy Park Special Cask Release #8 Quatre Vins is a unique rum produced at the renowned Worthy Park distillery in Jamaica. Distilled in 2013 from rich molasses, this exceptional rum has been aged for a total of 6 years. The initial aging process took place in ex-bourbon casks in Jamaica for 2-4 years, imparting classic bourbon notes. This was followed by an additional 2 years of maturation in Denmark, where the rum was aged in four distinct types of wine casks: Monbazillac, Sauternes, Moscatel, and Juracon. Each type of wine cask influenced the rum for six months, enriching its profile with unique characteristics.
The result is a limited edition release of only 1318 bottles, each boasting an impressive ABV of 52%. This 700ml bottle of Worthy Park 2013 Quatre Vins Cask Selection Series #8 delivers a symphony of flavors and aromas that are sure to captivate any rum enthusiast.
On the nose, the rum presents a prominent wine aroma intertwined with tropical fruit, vanilla, woody notes, and hints of banana. The palate is equally complex, offering woody, red wine, chocolate, astringent, and fruity flavors. The additional maturation in wine casks introduces a winey character, featuring very ripe white grapes and a sulphurous touch reminiscent of traditional English rums used in the British Navy.
This rum is highly recommended for those who appreciate intricate flavors and complexity. It is exceptionally harmonious and delicious, offering a balanced blend of sweet and fruity notes. The Worthy Park Special Cask Release #8 Quatre Vins is a testament to the distillery's commitment to producing high-quality, limited edition releases that stand out in the world of rum.

The typical Worthy Park notes of banana, nut, and wood are also present, providing a familiar and nostalgic touch. The finish is noted for its toasted nuts, fruit bread, candied ginger, and red wine tannins, which are surprisingly well-integrated and not overly woody.
Some reviewers mentioned the presence of sour fruits, berries, wine, and wood, with a hint of tobacco and cocoa. The rum's dry, fruity, and slightly musty character aligns well with what one might expect from a Jamaican rum. The addition of sweet caramel to the chocolate and fruit flavors in the finish adds an extra layer of complexity.
