Green apple and apple-tart sweetness ride on top of the usual Worthy Park banana-and-tropical-fruit funk, with soft vanilla and wood underneath. The two years in Calvados casks show clearly — several tasters call it silkier and more acidic than a straight WP. At 45% the pot-still funk is tamed rather than shouted, which is exactly why people find it easy sipping.

Fruity Worthy Park softened by apple Calvados finish Members like this one: the Calvados finish suits the WP profile and adds real apple character. A common note is that it could use a bit more vivacity and bite.

The influence of the Calvados cask is recognizable, pleasant apple aromas join the Worthy Park profile, which is somewhat tamed in view of the drinking strength, as is to be expected. However, this is not at the expense of the fullness of flavor; the rum does not appear too watered down, but instead develops a pleasantly drinkable spectrum of aromas. A very appealing and multi-layered sipping rum.

A decent rum, even though the Calvados finish is clearly noticeable here. Otherwise, we have vanilla, wood, and the cask, but also tropical fruits and subtle esters. Can't complain.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
#4110 A pretty decent release and in limited numbers. Fruity with nice wood and some spice. Needs to rest for a while to release all the flavours. Price to quality is OK.
Review by TheRhumhoe
A 10-year-old Worthy Park aged in Bourbon and Calvados casks. You can feel the two influences alongside the funky framework on the nose: Calvados and green apple combine with exotic fruit and fermented notes, all tied together by very sweet vanilla. On the palate, the barrels continue to speak for themselves. The alcohol and tannins are more pronounced, but the sweetness of the fruit attenuates my power to offer something mellow and accessible. The finish, of decent length, incorporates the sweet spices of the Bourbon cask into its pattern to give an extra touch of greediness on the finish, where alcohol, banana and pineapple vie for the last word. A good finishing rum, but would benefit from a little more vivacity and character to be at its best.
Review by LukaŽiga
8,5:On the nose, phenol, light esters, slightly dirty, fermented fruits like apple, banana, citrus fruits, soft, creamy with dairy, grassy molasses, medicinal, calvados barrel impact is obvious, roasted wood notes and vanilla, bump into our nosetrils. On aeration, pineapple, lemon peel and grapefruit arise, baking spices/allspice come out, pastry, some rubber, as molasses is fresh, floral. 8,1:On the palate, the attack is creamy with dairy notes, fruity with apple/greenfruits, banana, pineapple, cherry and citrus fruits, dry and tannic, calvados barrel impact is strong, slightly metallic, the wood is roasted with caramel, chocolate, nuts, leather, spicy with vanilla and allspice, molasses is floral. 8,2:The finish is medium long, dry&tannic, slightly dirty, industrial with rubber, fruity with dried, citrus and tropical fruits, apple, molasses is grassy, pencil shavings join, toasted wood notes, smoky, spicy. Edit:13.10.26
Review by Filip Šikula
Surprisingly good Worhy Park. The Calvados finish definitely benefited the rum and made it more interesting in nose and taste. Fruity notes spiced up with the apple character of Calvados. Price corresponds to what the rum offers. Simple all-evening drinking.
Review by LesTontonsMaltés
La distillerie Worthy Park nous propose ce rhum de mélasse issu des légendaires alambics Double Retort Pot Still, et vieillit pendant 8 ans dans d’ex fûts de bourbon! Ils ont eu l’idée ensuite de le mettre 2 ans en fûts d’ex Calvados afin d’offrir une palette aromatique plus riche et plus original que les jus habituels! ▪️ Je trouve que ce finish permet d’adoucir ce rhum jamaïcain, la banane est présente, les fruits exotique aussi, mais tout est plus soyeux et acidulé! Une vanille douce et légèrement torréfiée vient ponctuer la dégustation avec des notes de tartes aux pommes bien gourmande sortant du four! ▪️ Un rhum facile d’accès pour découvrir ou profiter pleinement des rhums jamaïcains, les 45% ABV sont sympa et permette d’apprécier pleinement les différentes facette proposé! 😋
Review by Eric Frechin
Aging in Calvados casks is well suited to this rum, which has a fruity base and even hints of apple. The Calvados cask enhances these notes, leading to a pleasant evolution of caramel and woody notes.
Review by Pavel Ungr, RumRock
Vintage 2012. I rate it 7.9 out of 10, a solid rum that doesn't disappoint.
Review by Godspeed
Surprisingly good WP! Love the fruitiness and the calvados finish really suits the WP profile imo. Solid bottle and reasonably priced, I really enjoyed this one.
Review by Richard Krupa
Apple, tresne and light vanilla
Review by Rowald Sweet Empire
So you've got the typical full flavoured WP vs great apple distilled spirit from France. All the typical Jamaican flavours with an apple "schwung". Delicious.
Review by Dave Dahlgren
Lightly grilled pineapple, apple, woody, warming from the calvados. Really nice, actually fruity and smooth
