A nose of fruit, banana, pineapple, tutti-frutti but also varnished old wood and leather. The palate contrasts with the liveliness of the nose; everything here is more balanced and the fruit is still very present. The finish is long, refined and balanced, with wet wood (larch) and roof tar appearing later. Lots of aromas in the empty glass.
Review by Mirko Frosini 🇮🇪
Exceptional rum that at the second tasting impressed me the most. A strong rum that leaves its mark.Long finish with a slight hint of roasting.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
I got this bottle at a very good price and it was a very nice surprise. Very fruity all the way and lightly dry in the finish. Retasting this one today and I still think it's pretty good.
Review by Sven
The best Worthy Park I've had in a glass. Tropical fruit with lots of spice and wood. Also notes of aniseed and licorice. A rum with rough edges that has a lot to offer. Intense in flavor and a long finish. Fun in the glass every time.
Review by Galli33
Very delicious WP. Classic mix of a fruit basket with the barrel and roated aromas. Alcohol could be integrated better
Review by MarcT
Had this open for a year now, and returned to it often. As I had the chance to broaden my experience I must reduce my rating for this rum. I believe the alcohol to be to much, it is too sharp in its burn, and (at least for me) makes it difficult to access the flavours. Water helps, time had not helped (as I hoped). Still, it has an intense smell, and, given time and water, one will have a good sipper for a slow evening. If just the alcohol would have been better integrated, which I know from comparison to other rums to be possible...
Review by Jakob
The initial releases of the Habitation Velier series were my introduction to the world of Worthy Park and are still among the best I know of the distillery. The profile of the 2006 release has rough edges, brings fiery spicy notes together with tart wood, anise, licorice and slightly mineral hints and sweet notes of tropical fruit and vanilla sugar. What can I say? Just really good.
Review by Maxence
Well balanced profile between fruits and round notes. Really nice Jamaïcan rum !
Review by Aussierumfan
This is a retaste and I am not changing my initial score from 2 years ago. A very nice jamaican from Worthy Park and to me is a great representation of the distillery. Fruit and spices, can get the oak influence coming through as well. A great nose and a medium to long finish.
Review by LukaŽiga
9:On the nose, the first impression we get are esters and varnish, funkiness, opening with a red carpet for overripe tropical fruits like banana, pineapple, papaya and some raisins. Tipically for WP, grass, roasted wood and vanilla, perhaps with some caramelized confectionery.... When aired a bit, more bourbon yellow fruits, citrus, bathing in honey are scented, with smoky/leather undertones.The molasses delivers vegetal/herbal bias, which rounds up medicinal notes from the beginning... 9:On the palate, the attack is intensive with overripe, fermented tropical fruits, mentioned before, spicy with pepper, the wood is dry, roasted, put shortly, we enjoy sweet, buttery confectionery, filled with tasty, juicy marmelade, especially tasty are peaches, and creamy vanilla, bathing in honey!😋 After some rest, molasses delivers vegetal, a bit bitter herbaceous, tobacco undetones and cookie dough notes, perhaps a bit yeasty. 8,9:The finish is long and fruity, balanced, the wood a bit charred, toasted with some chocolate and roasted notes, vanilla, confectionery, spicy.Later, it becomes a bit musty, as we notice some cigar ashes. Delicious...an upgrade
Review by TheRhumhoe
A Worthy Park from Habitation Velier which offers a nice aromatic balance. It is neither in the high esters, nor in the more sanitized rums, it is well constructed. The nose opens on tropical fruits (pineapple and banana) before letting out some phenolic notes (esters, glue, solvents and varnish) then woody, spicy, roasted aromas and leather. A smell of baked apple emerges from this very round and comely blend. Caramel, brown sugar and dried fruits complete the olfactory panel.One discerns in mouth an oily, intense and dry rum, with at first exotic fruits and citrus fruits, which fade rather quickly to let dominate the woody flavors (barrel), spices (pepper, chili, vanilla, cinnamon), leather, empyreumatic notes (toasted, roasted). A very unusual profile for Jamaica, the cask having played a big role on this tropical aging rum, but not unpleasant. The esters are very much in the background, but the balance of flavors is there. The finish, quite long, comes back on the bitterness of leather and dark chocolate, woody notes, hot and spicy spices, some fruit and esters notes that complete this tasty and very varied profile.More concentrated and more mastered than its 2007 counterpart, this Worthy Park 2006 is a very nice bottling that reveals another side of Jamaican rum.
Review by Giorgio Garotti
A worthy park that really amazed me! The alcohol is a bit overpowering but if you let it breathe well you can appreciate it well! A mix of memories of the flavors between Appleton and monymusk makes it a very unique rum but very enjoyable to drink!
Review by Basti
Blindtasting Worthy Park mit: HV WPL (RX272) HV WPM (RX1089) Schotman (RX17173) Wolfgang Klotz (RX21848) TWJ (RX14182) Platz 3 (8.4): TWJ. Die Nase ist ziemlich verschlossen und wirkt am Ende sowohl an der Nase als auch am Gaumen etwas unausgewogen. Leicht bitter am Gaumen und auch im Abgang. Platz 2 (8.6): HV WPL + WK Spirits. Der WK bringt insgesamt mehr Holz und Gewürze mit und mit viel Zeit im Glas auch vermehrt fruchtige Aromen. Auch der HV WPL braucht ein wenig Zeit im Glas, hat dann aber eine schön komplexe Nase. Am Gaumen neben trop. Früchten auch dezent Klebstoff und Ester. Platz 1 (8.7): HV WPM + Schotman. Der Schotman ist wohl der rundeste WP im Crosstasting mit einer schönen Pfirsich Note. Der WPM setzt sich durch rauchige Aromen und Lakritz etwas ab. WP lief bei mir bisher unter dem Radar, zu unrecht. Ich bin echt positiv überrascht und werde in Zukunft wohl auch häufiger mal einen WP im Glas haben :)
Review by Eric Frechin
Ça fait plusieurs bouteille de WP que je goûte et je me rends compte que c est une autre identité dans les rhums Jamaicain et pas inintéressante du tout. C est fruité et funky, mais tout en gardant une certaine élégance. Ici on démarre au nez sur du tropical, bouche évoluant vers un pomme poire et un peu de caramel beurre.
Review by Timo Groeger
Dann ein paar kleine Samples von Habitation Velier. Hier ein Worthy Park, welcher mich im ersten Eindruck etwas enttäuscht. In Nase und am Gaumen haben wir hier viel Ester, aber auch tropische Früchte. Banane ist hier vorrangig erkennbar. Trotzdem ein guter Rum.
