Habitation Velier Worthy Park Forsyths WP 502 White 2015
Sipped neat it hits hard — overripe banana, olive brine, pineapple and a big whack of solvent that several tasters call "nagellackentferner." Most people find it works better in a cocktail or rum tonic, where the funk and 57% ABV settle down. One reviewer nailed it as "almost like a banana bread" before it turns spicy on the back of the tongue. Divisive, but the funk fans are happy.

How does Habitation Velier Worthy Park Forsyths WP 502 White 2015 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Funky, solvent-heavy white Jamaican, better mixed Loved by funk fans for its banana-and-olive Worthy Park character, though many find it too hot, solvent-heavy and short on the finish for neat sipping — several prefer it mixed.

Small WP X tasting during the bottling: For a white rum, extremely complex and at the same time surprisingly mild. Both overripe tropical fruits and vegetal aromas dominate here, with a bit of olive from the palate.

Interesting rum, but with 502 esters I would have expected more aromas. I sensed notes of pineapple, olive and lychee on the finish. A strong hint of solvents prevails, which accompanied by high alcohol content smother everything else. Imperceptible hint of toastiness. I like it, but I recognize that it may not be a rum in everyone's cup of tea. It is not a rum I would drink every day.
Review by LukaŽiga
8,1:On the nose, medicinal with esters, glue, nail polish, some varnish, vegetal molasses with briny olive, mushrooms, grassy, cutrus fruits and banana, slightly meaty, bump into our nosetrils. On aeration, the molasses is spicy, pineapple arises, buttery, nutty hints, some rubber. 8,0:On the palate, the attack is vegetal with briny olive, grassy, fresh, mineral, sweet with honey, spicy with anise, nutty, medicinal with esters, fruity with fermented tropical fruits like banana and pineapple, citrus and dried fruits. 8,1:The finish is medium long, dry, fresh, oily with vegetal molasses and briny olive, fennel, grassy, floral, spicy, medicinal, metallic, smoky, perhaps with plastic hints, fruity with various tropical and citrus fruits.
Review by Jonas
Great white rum! Am positively surprised.
Review by zabo
Definitely not a bad mixer for cocktails for the price. The price-performance ratio is right here. But unfortunately it has one drawback for me, because It doesn't necessarily appeal to me on its own as much as I would have thought.
Review by Martin Mihaly
This is something different, not an outstanding rum but it tastes good. On the nose, nicely intense and fresh but a bit different, ripe fruits, strawberry, a bit of papaya, buttermilk or better yogurt, anyway sweet. On the palate like on the nose, brine, polish, yogurt and strawberries, ripe fruits. In the finish already slightly warm, fruity, alcohol very well integrated. Price is great and justified.
Review by Rumclub Latvia
Fermented 💣
Review by DutchRumPirate
On the nose, immediately an overripe fruit bomb. Especially overripe banana combined with olives. This comes through well on the palate as well. Deliciously fruity like pineapple and banana, with a good hint of solvents and olives. It will certainly come into its own in a cocktail.
Review by ThreeH
An unaged WP with a solid dose of esters. A molasses rum with a very long fermentation. It’s quite special on the nose. Pretty massive funk, glue, solvent, and then very ripe fruit esters. But also aromas like an Agricole with olive brine and vegetal notes. On the palate, it’s intense—glue, fruit esters, a nice spiciness, and then vegetal aromas again on the finish. The ABV is there, but for my taste, just right for such an unaged rum. I just love the style—also neat and not just in a mixer.
Review by Johnny Rumcask
Unmistakably Worthy Park: banana, a little pineapple, yellow fruit. Ester, but not as much as expected. Medium-long finish, which is surprising given the high ester content. Less suitable for drinking neat than for mixing. Tip: makes a nice rum tonic.
Review by Jizeus Christ Guitare
Bottle opened several years ago, remaining 2/3. Nose: banana, acetone, glue and almond. Milky, yogurt, strawberry, mango. A hint of brine (green olive). Alcohol still present. Mouth: creamy, very spicy (curry), lactic, fermentative, mashed green banana and exotic fruit, bitter, almond, vegetal notes too (anise?). Finish: very long. On exotic fruits and yoghurt. A high-flying ensemble, but clearly not for every day.
Review by Michael Janek
12.6.2024 smells like linoleum glue, later like hard-skinned fruit, mango or something, then slightly like citrus, a little like honey it tastes mild and sweet, very pleasant
Review by Campbell
Quite interesting. Not as pungent as I was expecting, although the nose was still pretty heavy with industrial and fruity notes. The mouthfeel was rather pleasant, and the flavors leaned far more into that overripe fruitiness, though there’s also a rich, anethol-ish note that wasn’t unwelcome but took some getting used to.
Review by Lukáš Jarník
Excellent white rum. Quite sharp
Review by Dw117
One of the top white rums i have ever tried sweet and sexy fruits funk
Review by Schnubbii
Quite fresh and fruity on the nose, but I also find something slightly fermented and a bit of glue. On the palate, less fruity, rather a bit dry, leaning towards fruit brandy. The alcohol bites a bit, the finish is quite short. For my taste, too flat, too dry, and too alcoholic.
Review by jayelle
Nice to see some old HV bottles still kicking about! This is a funk bomb, for sure! Nose is very nice and not overpowering. Big notes of banana up front on the first sip. Almost like a banana bread. Flavor almost spikes mid taste and then turns spicy on the back of my tongue. Think it's just overpowered with funk lol
Review by Werner10
Not my kind of rum. Very heavy on the nose. Taste is ok but not a style that i love.
Review by Schorgelorsch
Spreads pure like a little cloud in the mouth and also has its justification when neat. I find it really strong in a Daiquiri because I actually don't like Daiquiris. Overall, I find it mineral and olive-like.
Review by Mentalo
Interesting unaged WP with lots of power. Overripe fruits with a bit of nail polish remover.
Review by Kieron Wood
The strength on the nose of this is brutal however the taste is what a white rum should taste like strong on the grass and caramel smell ...pot still beautiful..
