Review by Mirko Frosini 🇮🇪
Like the 2006 Forsyths it does not disappoint expectations. Compared to its predecessor this has more presence of ester/solvent notes and seems less toasty...by a little. On the pineapple finish. A very satisfying tasting rum that I would never stop drinking.
Review by Galli33

Review by Martin Ekrt
After some time, when I have finished the bottle, I return to retasting thanks to the cast sample. I just can't help myself with this rum and I consider it to be perhaps the best I've had from Worthy Park. Perhaps only Quatre Vins has impressed me to the same degree. I kinda regret not having another bottle. Edit: the last drop I had poured. It's still a great Worthy Park for me
Review by Joachim Guger
A great Jamaica Rum! In the nose solvent, lots of fruit, warm, very complex. Horny! 😄In the mouth fat, very, very complex. Ester, fruit, warm.Since I will get me a bottle!

Zum Tagesabschluss dann noch nen geilenbWorthy Park. Schmeckt echt geil, wenn ich den denke wie die Pirmasensener Berge mich zerstört haben 🤣 Ansosnsten tropische Früchte, aber auch etwas Vanille und Ester.
Review by TheRhumhoe
A beautiful Worthy Park with a diverse, well-balanced profile. The nose opens with tropical fruits, then esters, solvents and glue, before giving way to spices, wood and chocolate. Complementing tobacco and a roasted sensation, beautiful pastry notes also appear, with caramel, toffee, marzipan, burnt sugar and buttery aromas. A deep, greedy, warm nose: very promising. The attack on the palate is lively and spicy, a little harder than the nose suggests. Banana, pineapple and citrus quickly fade before giving way to warm, spicy, woody, leathery and tobacco notes. The integration of alcohol could be improved. The rum here is rougher and rougher, and needs a little rest. The finish is of medium length, with a fleeting hint of exotic fruits and dried fruits. Dry, warm and somewhat bitter, the palate is overwhelmed by spices (chili, pepper, aniseed and licorice), dark chocolate, leather, wood (cask), tobacco and smoky notes. A saline touch is also perceptible. Compared with the 2006 vintage, the nose is more savory, but the attack on the palate is more aggressive and less controlled. The finish leaves a similar impression. All in all, a fine bottling from Velier.
Review by Basti
Blindtasting Worthy Park with: HV WPL (RX272) HV WPM (RX1089) Schotman (RX17173) Wolfgang Klotz (RX21848) TWJ (RX14182) 3rd place (8.4): TWJ. The nose is quite closed and ends up being a bit unbalanced on both the nose and the palate. Slightly bitter on the palate and also on the finish. 2nd place (8.6): HV WPL + WK Spirits. The WK has more wood and spices overall and, with plenty of time in the glass, also more fruity aromas. The HV WPL also needs a little time in the glass, but then has a beautifully complex nose. On the palate, alongside trop. Fruits on the palate as well as subtle glue and esters. 1st place (8.7): HV WPM + Schotman. The Schotman is probably the most rounded WP in crosstasting with a nice peach note. The WPM stands out somewhat with its smoky aromas and licorice. WP has been under my radar so far, wrongly so. I am really positively surprised and will probably have a WP in my glass more often in the future :)
Review by cigares
Un nez de banane sur-mûre et de solvants, de la douceur pâtissière (sponge cake), des fruits jaunes et un boisé en soutient; vif et aromatique, ce nez à tout pour plaire. Entrée de bouche douce, mais sans dilution, gourmande et fruitée, puis les arômes prennent leurs aises et se développent avec même un petit côté végétal fort agréable. La finale est assez longue, belle, mais au fil du temps elle devient un peu unilatérale, sur le bois, le rôti, l’ananas et les fruits jaunes.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Another wonderful rum from Habitation and typical Jamaican. The nose starts off funky from opening the bottle. Once rested for 15 minutes you're going to be welcomed by a very fruity nose with vanilla and a tad of polish/varnish. In the back there is a bit of wood. The palate is also setting off funky and fruity with a spicy peppery touch. In the background I get olive, tobacco and wonderful oak. The finish is long and pepper spicy with fruits and oak.
Review by Skyfly
Kleines WP X-Tasting im Rahmen des Abfüllens: eine wirklich gelungene Abfüllung bei der sich die Banane von Nase bis Abgang im Vordergrund befindet. Leichte Ester, Gewürze, geröstetes Holz und gegen Ende getrocknete Früchte begleiten das ganze. Alkohol perfekt eingebunden!
Review by Christoph
On the nose, the Worthy Park fruit basket remains in the background and is overlaid by nut, toast and chocolate. On the palate, it then turns a bit towards the typical WP fruit basket while remaining very spicy. Ester remains at the bottom. The finish is a bit salty with pepper and mocha.
Review by Rodolphe
Quick sampling of a sample base with a buddy. Great worthy park profile so banana pastry all the way.
Review by Tschusikowsky
Tropical aging is something beautiful. In the nose a lot of fruit. Palate does not quite deliver what the nose promises. Woodier and spicier. Slightly salty on the finish. Great.
Review by Giuseppe Ambrosio
It makes itself drinkable and is very pleasant. Tasted again after some time. Nice color, excellent nose as well as palate and above all very drinkable somewhat like Capovilla's fruit distillates. Compared to the WPM mark I find it slightly less spritzy. (PS: the rating, like impressions, are purely personal)
Review by Rumpalumpa
Ein sehr runder Worthy Park. Etwas fruchtiger als der 2005 Forsyths. Aber mit ähnlich erdiger Würze, zu der neben Tabak im. Abgang auch schwarze Oliven kommen. Angenehm süß und wirklich gut eingebundener Alkohol
