Habitation Velier Worthy Park Forsyths WP 2005
"What a beast," one taster wrote, and that captures it: a tropically-aged Worthy Park pot still full of pineapple, overripe banana, spice and a nail-polish ester edge, with tobacco, leather and dark chocolate underneath. Many call it their favorite WP. The one repeated gripe is the alcohol — at 57.8% it's a touch hot and wants a drop of water or 20 minutes to open up.
The community says- Ripe tropical fruit
- Spice and ester
- But: Alcohol a bit hot

Aggregated from 126 community reviews.
Fruity, spicy cask-strength Jamaican pot still A frequent favorite among Worthy Park bottlings — fruity, spicy and layered. The common note is the heat isn't quite fully integrated; a splash of water helps it settle.

Like foursqure style...litle bit booring to me
Review by Dr.Django
This eum both disappointed and delighted me during its time in the (half-bought) bottle. It was both exhilarating and depressing. Bordering on the 90s on good days. On bad days it was in the 70s. Funky, a bit smoky. I hate and love it.
Review by Tim
Another complex Jamaican. Esters and tropical fruits storm ahead, accompanied by glue/nail polish. At the same time vanilla, tobacco, honey and cocoa/chocolate. Fermented fruit or musty in the mouth, but lots of spice and toasty. A certain bitterness accompanies the drinking experience, which is why cocoa and coffee are present, which is quite good for the rum, making it more complex and therefore I like it a bit better. A tad too dry for me, otherwise a higher rating would have been possible. Overall, however, a pretty good rum.
Review by Joachim Guger
A great rum. 5 out of 10 on the Jamaican madness scale. Banana bread, caramel and fruit. Strong and yet balanced. My Habation Velier WP ranking: (1) 2007, (2) 2005 and (3) 2006, but all three are great.
Review by Jakob
Outstanding Worthy Park. Compared to the 2006 release, a bit wilder, but by no means in a negative sense: here the complexity and depth of the classic WP profile come into their own. Is the alcohol perfectly integrated? Rather no, so plus points are lost here, but at this point we are already talking very high level.
Review by SaibotZtar
A good WP 🇯🇲👍
Review by cigares
Herbaceous nose with overripe tropical fruit and mint candy. The palate is lively, with alcohol, herbaceous notes, mint candy and overripe tropical fruit. The finish is short, thin but well-balanced, the oak only coming in at the end. There's almost no hint of ageing here, and the freshness and fruit are superbly pleasant.
Review by Leo Krüper
Nice entry WP in the barrel strength range. My first reasonable rum after 3 weeks break. Makes you want more, even if the finish is quite short. Very mild and round, typical for WP. Great PLV at the issue price.
Review by Mirco
beautiful Worthy Park 😊
Review by Johannes
A truly exceptional Worthy Park with great complexity!
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
A very nice and fruity rum. Needs to stand for 15-30 minutes or add a drop of water to release all the flavours. The nose the following day is wonderful.
Review by Aussierumfan
A lovely Worthy Park. I havnt tried many but I'm really enjoying this one. On the nose it's very fruity. Tasting, I'm getting more fruits, pineapple in particular, then vanilla, esters, chocolate and a touch of wood. It has a reasonable level of complexity with a medium length finish. Worth a try.
Review by Skyfly
Kleines WP X-Tasting im Rahmen des Abfüllens: sehr leckerer Rum mit diversen tropischen Früchten und Estern/ Klebstoff auf der einen und holzig-würzigen Aromen auf der anderen Seite. Beides harmoniert super miteinander und wird im Gaumen durch Espresso und dunkle Schokolade ergänzt.
Review by DomM
Very nice WP bottling. Not sure, why this is one of the less sought after HVs.
Review by Piotr Ignasiak
Retasting today and keeping the score. Ripe banana and caramel on the nose and smoky leathery taste. Quite nice, root spices and leathery finish stand out. Water brings out more of ripe fruits.

Expert review by The Fat Rum Pirate
Read full review →Although it is slightly better than the Cadenhead's bottling I don't think the rum deserves a 5 star rating. The simple reason being this was one of the first rums Worthy Park distilled and I fancy they can produce something better. Well there is the gauntlet thrown down to them....
