Review by WiltChamberlain
Excellent.
Review by Thunderbird
On the nose first flows a wave of fruit (pineapple) and slightly fermented fruit. Gradually comes out a slight sweetness and some ester, very subtle...On the palate first flushes a sweetness that fills the mouth oily creamy! Then develops a pleasant spiciness... the sweetness becomes slightly sour and overripe banana joins in!The alcohol is super integrated!In the finish remains the spice and the banana flavor.... an excellent rum, I am thrilled!!!
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.

Great rum like 2006!
Review by Joachim Guger

beautiful Worthy Park 😊
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 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.
Review by Sebastian.W
A Very diverse nose with spices, dried fruit, tea, burnt sugar and glue. The taste brings along some leather, tobacco, dark chocolate, marmalade and more spices. It ends with a medium and buttery finish. My favorite Worthy Park so far!
Review by Michal S
Velmi slušný Worthy Park, možná dokonce jeden z nejlepších z této palírny. Ve vůni harmonické ovocné tóny s vanilkou a medem, v chuti se pak rozbalí do krásné ovocné bomby s troškou tabáku a máty. Kupujte, dokud se dá sehnat za rozumné peníze.
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 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 Johannes
A truly exceptional Worthy Park with great complexity!
