Thompson Bros. Worthy Park Pot Distilled Jamaican Rum JMWP 2008
Well-liked but rarely loved — that's the honest read here. It's a textbook Worthy Park: ripe banana and pineapple up front, with pear and apple joining in, then oak, black tea and a bit of spice. The esters stay tame for a Jamaican, so it drinks easy. Trouble is, a lot of tasters find the palate flatter than the nose, and the alcohol isn't perfectly tucked in.

How does Thompson Bros. Worthy Park Pot Distilled Jamaican Rum JMWP 2008 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Tame, banana-led Worthy Park that fades on the palate Most rate it a fair, typical Worthy Park — pleasant and easy-drinking. The recurring caveat: the palate falls short of the nose and doesn't stick in memory.

And there's a proper Worthy Park as well :) First of all, it's typical Jamaica with its tropical fruits like especially banana and pineapple. Otherwise, it's also quite nutty and nicely spicy.

This was probably a WPL, because in terms of esters, it's a very tame Jamaica rum. The typical Worthy Park banana notes are of course present, but here they get a fruity pome fruit addition through apple and pear. Otherwise, decent caramel, vanilla, and a bit of green hazelnut. The result is tasty and really easy to drink, but there's nothing particularly memorable about it.
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 zabo
Overall a bit too boring for me, the certain alcoholic touch also prevents a higher rating here. Nice to have tried, but unfortunately nothing that stays in memory or that you'd need a bottle of.
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 Chrischi78
Hmm, it didn't really grab me. Typical Worthy Park profile but overall not convincing. Very astringent, somewhat rough with tropical fruits and plenty of pear and distinct alcoholic sharpness.
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 Tom Buteneers
It’s okay but I don’t need a bottle.
Review by Skyfly
Jamaica without Hampden Tasting: okay, but there are better ones. Way too much tropical fruit, some wood and esters, as well as subtle spices from nose to finish. The slight pear note makes it still 80 points in the end.
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 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 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 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.
