Barikenn Jamaica Secret Distillery WPL 2010

Opinions land in a friendly middle here. Most tasters peg it as Worthy Park straight off — that appley, ripe-banana, ester-fruit signature — and call it round and drinkable for such a young distillate. The recurring gripe: a sharp astringency and, for some, too much alcohol showing through at 55%. Ester hunters find it a touch light, but the fruity-funky side wins a few over on a second pour.

The community says
  • Ripe banana & apple
  • Round, drinkable funk
  • But: Astringent finish

My nose said WP right away with all its appley notes and this is spot on. I would have loved to buy a few bottles back in the day.

Classic WP nose: ripe fruit, banana, esters. A touch of acidity too. On the palate, the alcohol is very (too?) present. It left little room for expression of the aromas for me. Fruity, spicy. 2nd tasting: the impression is better than during the 1st tasting. It's not the best Jamaican I've ever tasted, but after the Guyana from the same bottler, this one comes across better. The acidity is still not very pleasant. But I appreciate the funky-fruity side this time.

No rum is more imitated than Jamaican rum. This is the home of funk, the fruity, overripe-banana intensity that drinkers call hogo, made in the biggest pot stills outside Irish whiskey. When the rest of the Caribbean moved to the column still, Jamaica kept the pot still as its house style, and that stubbornness is exactly why its rum is so prized today.
