Review by Boletus
The intense PX cask enriches the ester-driven, fruity Worthy Park distillate with a good dose of oak and especially a rich raisin and date sweetness along with caramel and chocolate aromas. It's really very tasty, although the sweetness that builds up with every sip almost becomes a bit too much for me in the mouth.
Review by Dr.Django
The description is just like the rum's taste: short and crisp. Great stuff! The cask here takes a considerable part of the rum in a love-hate relationship and lets it go again to be funky. A bit like the Song of Ice and Fire. If you like the young Jamaica S.B.S bottlings, you'll love this one! It's simply fun! Thanks for the sample @Alex_K

Boo... My opinion of this rum is split... On the one hand, a delicious Worthy Park Extreme with lots of power and great fruity notes, cookie dough, peach etc., but on the other hand, a very alcoholic nose and not well-balanced alcohol. The sherry cask harmonizes very well with the WPE. PLV is TOP! Whether I'll get myself a bottle... questionable🤔
Review by zabo
In today's comparison test, I poured myself three different Worthy Park and took a closer look at a distillery that I consider to be rather neglected. In the glass were the RX20540, RX16339 and RX8876. In my opinion, the finish of the RumClub dominates a little and, unlike the others, gives the rum the most sweetness. The Wild Parrot has the most power in the glass, which I really liked. The Thompson comes across as the most boring of the three. But all in all, none of them were really bad.
Review by Jakob
Wow. Bin wirklich beeindruckt, wieviel Geschmack in drei Jahre alten Rum stattfinden kann. Schon an der Nase geht es direkt in die Vollen, Früchte satt, Holz, dunkle Gewürze, dahinter Milchsäure und Tee. Am Gaumen dann erfrischend intensiv, ohne zu würzig, bissig oder anderweitig einseitig zu werden. Das Worthy Park-Profil gefiel mir schon länger und ich erinnere mich an einige tolle Releases zurück, deren Niveau jedoch im Zuge der letzten Releases in meinen Augen nicht mehr ganz erreicht wurde. Umso spannender, dass hier ein derart junger Rum aus - zumindest für Worthy Park noch - ungewöhnlicher Lagerung im Sherry-Fass daherkommt und so überzeugt. Tolle Auswahl, tolles Release, das macht richtig Spass!
Review by Timo Groeger
Wow, this is terrific for a 3-year-old. Has a beautiful nose consisting of esters and alcohol. Also very spicy. Young wood and tropical fruit are added on the palate. Really a top rum.
Review by Thunderbird
For the first time in a long time, a WP that is quite funky. The high esters and the finish suit it well. However, it is still somewhat impetuous and unbalanced. However, the approach is promising and with a little more ageing time, something great could emerge
Review by Nivius
Probably the C<>H among the ... it tastes very much like Worthy Park :P - and with the Tigershark the best WP I've had in my glass so far - the Worthypark iced tea note, together with 1000g/hl esters in sherry cask full maturation delivers an extremely cool result here, at a price-pleasure ratio that I last had with the young NewYarmouths from RumArtesanal or the 2005 Chairmas blend. Before I had this rum in my glass, I really didn't expect much, as the last WP releases were rather average to boring, but this is really great stuff. And even the alcohol is extremely well integrated for just under 60% and such a young rum - I've recently had +20 year old rums that lacked far more complexity and were more fizzy. Very nice to get another great rum at a price from back then (and hence the 9 points).
Review by Master P
This cask surprised me enormously from the first second in the glass. The intensity of the high ester rum in combination with the very fresh oak cask and the sweetness of the PX sherry are excellent here. Only the alcohol is not perfectly integrated, but the price speaks for itself. I'll have to make another correction to where I opened my bottle now, very tasty.
Review by Johannes
Funky ester glue and alcohol on the nose, the esters are surprisingly round on the palate due to the sherry cask, cookie dough. Really fun!
Review by Banana Joe
Beautiful young WP. Makes a real impression on the nose, WP can be High Esther. Unfortunately not quite as convincing on the palate as on the nose. Alcohol could be a little better integrated. But a nice rum for the price. But I wouldn't need a bottle right now.
Review by Christian Rudt
In der Nase sehr fruchtig etwas zu viel Alkohol ist spürbar und natürlich kommt bei diesem drei Jahre Jungen Rum das PX Fass auch ordentlich durch. Am Gaumen gewinnt das Destillat erstmal die Oberhand und rückt den Sherry Einfluss klar zurück. Die tropischen Früchte dominieren etwas rotfruchtige Sherry süße kämpft verzweifelt dagegen an. Im Finale verwirbelt das ganze noch einmal mehr und je nachdem welche Geschmacksnerven gerade getroffen werden liegt Mal Destillat mal Fass vorne. Ein großartiger Rum👏
Review by Mirco
Worthy Park und nur 3 Jahre. Nicht wirklich, vielversprechend für mich. Was man hier jedoch erhält ist erstaunlich! Power, Fruchtester, gepaart mit Gewürzen und schönem Holz. Abgang dunkler Zucker/Karamell.
Review by F.L.O.
Toller WP. Ester trifft auf Pflaume und andere Früchte. Dazu eine ganz ganz minimal dreckige Note in Geschmack. Der Alkohol ist sehr gut eingebunden. Daily sipper, zum mixen fast zu schade. Schönes Teil
Review by Johnny Rumcask
Nase sehr stechend alkoholisch, was sich erst nach langer Standzeit verbessert. Dazu Noten von Keksteig und roten Früchten. Im Mund ein ähnliches Bild: Alkohol ist sehr schlecht eingebunden, die Sherryreifung kann nur die ärgsten Kanten des jungen Destillats überdecken. Das WP Profil kommt immer wieder durch die Sherrynoten (rote Früchte, Rosinen etc.) durch, aber das Ganze ist viel zu scharf alkoholisch . Langer Abgang, nach längerer Standzeit auch eine leichte Bitternote, die aber nicht unangenehm ist.
