The Modern Alchemist Worthy Park Cane Solo (Funky Jamaican Pure Juice Rum) WPE-CJN 2023

I have the L'Espri de Neisson 70% in the glass for comparison. The Neisson I have given 90 points because it is for me the best unaged rum to date. I like the Cane Solo at least as much because it achieves at least equal intensity on the nose and with 11% less alcohol! The intensity is found on the palate again with a very slight metallic note. A really cool bottling! Let's see what there is still so comes in stored variants of this substance in the next few years.

This Cane Solo is a pure rum with the funky side of Jamaican esterisé. Fresh, vegetal and fruity, it tastes pleasantly pure, with the 59% well-integrated, but it still has some kick. However, it expresses itself particularly well in fresh rum-based cocktails, especially in daiquiris, where it shines. As I'm not a big fan of daiquiris with pure juice, this is a superbly balanced, highly aromatic glass, without detracting from its freshness.

Der letzte für heute und für mich der beste. Die Nase hat hier echt schöne Noten von Zuckerrohr, Ester und tropischen Früchten. Im Gaumen kommen dann noch eindeutig tropische Früchte hinzu. Echt lecker dieser Rum.

Wow. Awesome white Worthy Park with an outstanding nose. Reminds me of the Sample Seventeen White Rum. But this one is much rounder and more elegant. The alcohol is also incredibly well integrated for a white rum. Thanks to the Underdog Project for this sample, I would never have had it in my glass otherwise.

Brought from the bar Modern Alchemist in Brussels. Interesting combination, cool project, wittily staged and only 49, - euros the bottle. There you have to take one with you. On site, I initially located it to South Africa / Ghana or Haiti (Clairin), until I was enlightened. A great mix rum.

Mmh… it‘s not a bad rum… but it reminds me more of a rum from savanna than a WPE… a lot of red fruits, esters, overriped fruits, banana, everywhere 😜😎 Blind i would go straight ahead to savanna! I‘m missing the cool and typical nail polish, glue WP notes

The rum that divides opinion. All in all, it has an intense and unique taste. Sometimes I find it good and sometimes too strong. It depends on the mood of the day. I've tried it neat, in a cocktail and as a CubaLibre. It remains a unique rum with a high level of recognition.

Beautiful fruity esters, but also light yeasty and grassy notes. Beautiful complexity!

smells like a clairin, herbal, earthy, green vegetables, potatoes. A real surprise from the underdog split!

My first thought when opening the sample was... oh a strong clairin...the nose is already quite intense. The palate didn't really convince me on its own. I perceived a clear bitter note, which I didn't expect from an unaged rum... After I added a zest and a few drops of lime, the Solo showed its true potential... a wonderful aroma on the palate... I'm not convinced by it neat, but as a mixer it's great!

An der Nase eine ziemlich intensive Trüffelnote. Am Gaumen dann Süße und erdige Trüffel. Ansonsten nicht besonders komplex, aber doch recht rund und harmonisch. Ganz lecker und etwas eigen, aber viel mehr passiert hier am Gaumen nicht, auch nicht nach Zugabe von etwas Wasser. Der Abgang ist relativ kurz.

Un nez très rond avec des touches de bananes au beurre, fruits jaunes confits alors qu'en bouche beaucoup plus sec et "vert".
