Interessanter Blend eines spannenden Experiments. Das das ganze einen jamaikanischen Hintergrund hat schmeckt man sofort; die WP Aromen sind zu schmecken. Das für die Lagerung genutzte Fass war wohl unbelegt und ohne Verkohlung. Man riecht und schmeckt das junge Holz sehr markant. Mit weiteren Blends oder einer interessanten Vorbelegung sollte es zukünftig möglich sein diese intensiven Aromen zu minimieren.

Nose: Not bad, really not bad. Fruity but not too much, a lot to discover here. First sip: Not bad, I've had worse. A bit sharp, alcohol could still be integrated a bit better, but actually not bad. Second sip: This is a Worthy Park! Checking the information in the split: This is actually a blend of Wray & Nephew, Rum Fire and Worthy Park Rum Bar. Some people might say, can't really be bad as a blend of these three. But I think it's easy to use too much of Rum Fire, overpowering the result. This is actually quite balanced. Bravo Ales, successful experiment / blend in my opinion! Would be interesting how it would be with a bit more age.

Spannend, aber mir zuviel junges Holz.
