One member calls it a "funky, light, mixing rum," and that's the honest read. The nose is the fun part — banana, pear, sour green apple, almost like fruity chewing gum — but the 40% ABV thins things out on the palate, where molasses, oak and a dry, nutty finish take over. Real Worthy Park DNA, just turned way down.
The community says- Fruity, funky nose
- Keep in mind: Low ABV, thin palate
- Keep in mind: Muted funk

How does Worthy Park Select Jamaica Rum taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Light, fruity Jamaican, better in cocktails Most see a gentle, fruity Jamaican that's an easy entry to esters. The recurring gripe: 40% strips the funk, leaving the palate thinner than the gorgeous nose promises.

We're clearly on Jamaica's markers. Wow, it's good. It's sweet, a little honeyed.

Nothing that I personally need.... thin and somehow meaningless.
Review by Stefan Persson
Overall an OK Jamaican rum but that lacks the expected funkiness, probably because of the low ABV. I tasted it at the 1423 stand during the Stockholm Beer & Spirits Fair 2023. This Jamaican rum is a blend of copper pot distilled molasses based rums that have been aged between 4 and 12 years in American white oak ex-bourbon barrels.
Review by Martin Ekrt
Even with heavy dilution, it’s beautifully fragrant, full of fruit. I’m tasting it now with a second sample and it’s still a big surprise for me just like the first time. I really enjoy discovering a rum that, despite a low-end price and dilution, offers a lot of fun. This is exactly what WP Select is for me. edit: slight downgrade, it just lacks those volts
Review by Lutz Lungershausen
07.2024 First impression: wow, delicious Jamaica! Nose: very fruity and aromatic, esters, party Palate: now it gets serious and strong but still light, exciting contrast to the first impression Finish: short and crisp Overall impression: I really like it, a little light for straight sipping but okay, shows its strengths in fruity mixers: brings alcoholic strength, light esters and subtle spiciness. I have therefore increased my original rating from 7.0 to 7.3. The very small bottle in the photo was a gift on the tour of Worthy Park Distillery ... I couldn't resist the merchandising items (if you're ever in Lluidas Vale 😉) 02.2023 I bought the 200ml flask in Jamaica and found it great as an energizer for fruit juices
Review by TheRhumhoe
A well-crafted Worthy Park from the permanent range, with a smooth Jamaican rum DNA. The nose is very fruity (banana, pineapple, pear, very ripe exotic fruits) and has a reasonable dose of funk with the esters. Vanilla and cinnamon add some spice to this simple, clean and precise profile. The attack on the palate is soft and supple. Despite dilution, the funk has been preserved, with its fermentative and phenolic aromas and typical fruity notes (pineapple, banana, orange and pear). Certainly not the most complex of rums, but a good drinker. The finish is of decent length. It returns to spicy woodiness, with a few roasted notes intermingling with fruit and esters. A pleasant rum, accessible to neophytes both in terms of taste and price.
Review by TheJackDrop
Vanilla and orange fruit, not bad but very young. To sum up, my tasting notes: Nose: Banana On the palate: Tropical fruit, orange. I'm raising the note a little because it's not bad.
Review by Jakob Deiner
The very (overripe) banana-fruity nose promised a lot more than the taste can deliver. At first fruity, but thin and quickly drifts into woody-bitter notes, which is unfortunately a no-go for me. Worthy Park, except for the very good 109, is probably not for me - I also found the rather expensive Single Estate Reserve unpleasantly woody/bitter, although not as thin. Maybe both could work for mixing, Rum Mule might work. Drinks: - Neat: 2/5 - Rum Mule: 3/5
Review by Johannes
The taste is actually not bad, but the alcohol is not well integrated despite the dilution.
Review by Vincent D
Tasted for the principle. It's not (by far) the best this distillery has to offer. But perhaps it can be a gateway to Jamaican esters without the extreme side. Not convinced.
Review by Rumpalumpa
Pretty unspectacular rum. Neither an interesting distillate, for example with strong esters, nor a maturation that would add another level. A few fruity esters are already present, of course.
Review by Golden Hind
Clearly unfolds its full potential for us in cocktails.
Review by Decky Hicks Doughty
A super fruity nose. Banana and pear mainly. Tropical papaya and sour green apple follow. Reminds me of a fruity chewing gum. The palate is a little thinner than the nose would suggest and less fruit forward. Approachable, a touch sweet. Notes of molasses and oak. The finish is medium in length and surprisingly dry. Lots of barrel notes and roast nuts. Overall, the nose is the best part of the experience. I feel the low ABV has stripped most of the lush fruits from the nose out of the palate. A shame. Not bad. Could have been better.
Review by epicsune 🇸🇪
Sample no.3 of the 24 days of rum calendar 2022. I have hears and read about the ”funky” style of Jamaican rum and this is my first tasting of one. Very complex and hard to distinguish the aromas but I think I find pear and maybe apple. The funky must be the harsh and sharp smell almost like a solvent or pint thinner. Palate is way better than the nose. Pineapple at first but more towards pear and apple later on. Very different taste for a rum but not in a bad way. This makes me want to explore more funky rums.
Review by Pandemonia
Delicious, multi-layered rum. First fruity and funky aromas of overripe pineapple and banana. Some kind of light underlying note of chocolate and spice, too. On the tongue it rather loses its fruity charafter and the baking spices and caramel are center stage. Still complex, oily, full and elegant all the way. Medium finish with a slight burn and woody aftertones. I quite enjoyed this one. Reminds me of slightly burnt, sweet browned baked buns of some sort. Love it!
Review by Marcel Pavelka
Sharper body. One round at the end. Pitelnoat rather worse.
Review by rum_sk
Overall a nice subtle jamaican rum. Moderate sweetness, in the 👃 it is typical worthy park with even hints of malt but 👅 is milder, oily, more cultivated showing tones of 🍫, vanilla, oak, malt and slight spiciness of black pepper. Very nicely balanced soft jamaican rum with medium long finish.
Review by Motvind
Aromas of orange, wood, and a bit of vanilla. The taste is a bit more subdued. Fruity, wood, ester, and alcohol. The alcohol doesn't bother but fits in well.
Review by MJ72
Fruit and some wood in the aroma, fruity taste, apples/pears with a woody base note that extends into the mild finish.
Review by Jo Hoo
Except for an ester smell, little tasty flavors for me.
Review by Miňo
Nothing special; tropical fruit, pear, and esters.
Review by Tupiaz
The nose has a funky Jamaican smell. In the taste, however, it is much more subdued. Despite the low alcohol content of 40%, it has a bit of a sting to it, but it doesn't break up the flavor. A cheap and easy drinking Jamaican rum. Think it will be fine in cocktails where you want to add some funk without adding too much alcohol.
Review by pavlix vipax
Never bad for the price, funky just a bit, a bit of esters, simpler.
Review by Filip Heimerle
It's a milder, more diluted WP where the Jamaican tones are subdued by dilution. But for daily drinking, it's great. It's a pity on one hand that it's only 40% alcohol. But on the other hand, for daily drinking, it's a perfectly fine bottle.
Review by Nikola Kučerová
Vůně hezčí než chut… alkoholická , drsnější chut
Review by R Wehner
Nose typical Jamaican, but rather reserved compared to the Hampden; tongue similar, mild, funky, already everything there, but just no Hampden
Review by jazz8751
Classic Jamaican rum. Just like an Appleton classic … banana, spices, floral … Jamaican funk.
Review by Montana
The smell is fruity, slightly sweet, somewhat like raspberry spirit. The taste is also fruity, somewhat alcoholic and woody. Some fruit brandy can be detected in the aftertaste.
Review by Anonymous
Funky, light, mixing rum
Review by PeixeGato
Soft and smooth. Taste of bananas, with a touch of vanilla. Very light taste of caramel or toffee.

Review by Jan Sajbrt
Feels strongly alcoholic yet it isn't. For me a friendly rum from Jamaica. It doesn't have pronounced tones of fruit or other specific flavors, but it's still refined. Like a waiter in a Michelin restaurant – the poorest there, but fitting adequately with elegance.
Review by Pascal Gwada
Little interest for me. A young pale rum, very soft and quite flat. On the nose it's fresh with citrus. On the palate very soft but flat, a bit of vanilla, very little wood. Easy and even too easy, almost one-note tone, a little discovery rum for young people.
Review by ManuelP
Really shined in a Kingston Negroni. Funky, thick flavor.
Review by Czexican
Like the fruity taste and pear on nose
Review by Kieron Wood
Nosing Apples , cashews , potato, cherry's, dates & caramel Tasting Macadamia nuts , grass , light Jamaica funk notes , more apple, peaches at the end , cognac For a four year old rum this is class stuff , very similar to rum bar gold but has a cognac style finish delightful near and a great rum & ting
