Review by Timo Groeger
Und nen anständigen Worthy Park gibt es auch noch :) Erstmal ist er typisch Jamaika mit seinen tropischen Früchten wie vor allem Banane und Ananas. Ansonsten ist er auch noch relativ nussig und auch gut würzig
Review by Boletus
Das dürfte ein WPL gewesen sein, denn von den Estern her ist das schon ein sehr zahmer Jamaika-Rum. Die für Worthy Park typischen Bananennnoten dürfen natürlich nicht fehlen, bekommen hier allerdings eine fruchtige Kernobst-Ergänzung durch Apfel und Birne. Ansonsten ordentlich Karamell, Vanille und etwas grüne Haselnuss. Das Ergebnis ist lecker und lässt sich wirklich gut trinken, hat aber jetzt auch nichts an sich, was sonderlich nachhaltig in Erinnerung bleibt.
Review by LukaŽiga
8,6:On the nose, tropical fruits with banana, pineapple and pear, oak, roasted, with nuts, cream toffee, dark chocolate, malt, spicy, flowery, grassy molasses and metallic patina, bump into our nosetrils. On aeration, the rum is creamy, tempting with butterscotch, vanilla, pastry, cookie dough, some dried fruits arise, allspice, the molasses is herbaceous, slightly dark with black tea, perhaps rubber is obvious. 8,6:On the palate, the attack is fruity with tropical fruits like banana and pineapple, pear, later apple and pineapple, creamy, sweet with roasted oak and cream toffee, nuts, some cream, fruitcake, spicy, as the molasses is vegetal, briny, fresh, herbaceous, slightly dark with black tea and when the rum is oxidized, menthol pops up. 8,5:The finish is long, dry and slightly tannic, the oak is toasted with toffee, nutty, butterscotch, spicy with ginger, smoky with crunchy bread, salty, fruity with banana, apple, dried fruits and the molasses is grassy with hay, vegetal with black tea, also chamomile notes come out..
Review by Johannes
A beautiful, typical Worthy Park. I find it a bit flat, but I'm not sure if I'm a bit out of practice after a week of abstinence. Overall nice, rather slightly bitter-astringent coconut notes. Perhaps a little one-dimensional.
Review by zabo
Mir insgesamt gesehen ein wenig zu langweilig, der gewisse alkoholische Touch verhindert hier auch ein wenig eine höhere Bewertung. Nice probiert zu haben, aber auch leider nichts was in Erinnerung bleibt oder man eine Flasche davon bräuchte.
Review by Gyuli
It's classy, bright, and clean from start to finish. It's like a blend of rum and whiskey, funky and clean at the same time. The finish is long and moderate in strength, making it a great everyday drink. This is a good Jamaican rum that you'll want to air out slowly. ----------------------------------------------- Nose: Classy and refined, reminiscent of sherry, esters, and single malt whiskey. Barley, milk tea, watermelon. Light and dense on the palate. On the second sip, chocolate, honey and other sweet notes emerge. Taste: Sweet raisins, followed by rooibos, bitterness of sesame leaves, and tannins like chewing grape skins. There's also a salty note, like a touch of fresh seawater. The palate is moderately spicy and lingers on the finish. Finish: The finish is long, with intense oak nuances, similar to Macallan if I had to guess. On the breath, tropical fruits with esters, a little bit of barley tea and a comfortable finish.
Review by Chrischi78
Mh der hat mich nicht so gepackt. Typisches Worthy Park Profil aber insgesamt nicht überzeugend. Sehr adstringend, etwas holprig mit tropischen Früchten und ordentlich Birne und deutlicher alkoholischer Schärfe
Review by Skyfly
Jamaica ohne Hampden Tasting: in Ordnung, aber gibt besseres. Viel tropische Früchte, etwas Holz und Ester, sowie dezente Gewürze von Nase bis Abgang. Die leichte Birnennote macht ihn am Ende doch noch zu 80 Punkten
Review by Lot-NAS
It starts off as a typical Worthy Park and somehow ends as a Whisky in the finish. Or a Rumcask finished Whisky. I like transfer a lot and pouring a Rye in my other glass these two (Swell wonder 12) have a lot in common.
Review by Tom Buteneers
It’s okay but I don’t need a bottle.
Review by Schnubbii
Nicely balanced on the nose with light tannins. On the palate, a classic Worthy Park with banana and black tea, relatively round, but the alcohol is not quite perfectly integrated. The finish is short to medium-long with spice and black tea. For me a solid Worthy Park, but there are better ones.
Review by Johnny Rumcask
Beautiful nose with the typical notes of pineapple, banana and tropical fruits. Unfortunately, the taste cannot keep up with the nose, the components are only weakly present, alcohol could be better integrated, the rum comes across as flat. After standing for two hours, the rum only tastes of vanilla and caramel from the barrel. The result is a rum with a boring taste and a nice nose.
Review by Hogo Hobo
Perfectly Integrated esters with buttered spiced bananas and rose-water Turkish delight. Milk tea. Tea. Chai fudge. Salt Liquorice. walnut. Watermelon. Dry heap of grass. Silage. Wet pebbles. Bracken. Despite being a touch thin/light on the mouth-feel, the distillate flavour is very fat. Long finish with sweet, sour, spicy, bitter, astringent and at the end mineralic/chalky notes. Really classy and very (very) WP. It’s basically 15 years old. Cannot wait to see this spirit at 20+, as it feels like it probably ages very well. No more than a drop or 2 of water. Perfect strength. Medium / long finish of sweet tea with a bunch of grass. Drank alongside the 2010 ECS Foursq, which was blown out of the water by it in terms of complexity.
