Rum Nation Worthy Park Jamaica 5 Years Old Oloroso Sherry Finish 2016
Ripe banana, glue and nail polish on the nose, then a heavier, woodier palate than that funky start suggests. The Oloroso finish brings raisin, dark chocolate and dried fruit, but plenty of tasters find the wood and the 50% a bit rough for five years. Several add a note: a drop of water thins it out fast, so most sip it as is.
The community says- Banana funk nose
- Good value
- But: Woody, tannic palate

How does Rum Nation Worthy Park Jamaica 5 Years Old Oloroso Sherry Finish 2016 taste?
Summarized by AI from community reviews.
Funky banana nose, woody sherry-finished bite Well-liked Worthy Park at a friendly price. The nose charms with banana funk; the palate turns woody and hot, and the sherry splits people — some love the raisin, others miss the WP character.

8,2:On the nose it points directly to Jamaica, with lots of very ripe banana. There's the funky influence of pot still distillation, fresh that balances well with the banana. There's also something medicinal, like pine thorns oozing resin. There is some candied cherry, spices such as curry or caraway seeds come in, then more vegetal notes, with hay and lemongrass, flowery. On aeration, the banana is more is adorned with wood and spice, as well as a vegetal, licorice.Various plants and herbs maintain the medicinal side of this rum, pine sap and also a little cherry pit.Some tea, brioche yeast and honey follow as well as a pastry, marzipan. 8,3:On the palate, the attack is powerful, with smoky notes, spicy.There are metallic tones, cocoa and black licorice. The banana is ripe, perhaps.The currants contribute to this impression, which is darker and deeper than the nose would suggest, besides that, some citrus fruits pop out and salted pastry. 8:The finish is medium long, dry, there are sweet spices, medicinal notes, grassy molasses, banana lingers on...

I made a bad impression, had people over for dinner, poorly balanced, the alcohol is too strong. To avoid.
Review by cigares
A rum that seems good, especially considering its price. Fruity as can be, balanced even if it has no depth. But add a drop of water and it loses a lot of flavor. Too bad and a big kudos to the blender for making the best of what he had. Perfect ABV. Tasted again and still disappointing.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
One of the best rums in its price range. Definitely a good rum and I can only recommend it.
Review by Vincent D
A pleasant Worthy Park. But the olorosso finish isn't my thing. Edit: new tasting via a new sample. My first rating was a bit harsh but I'm still not seduced. This is a Worthy Park with too much alcohol and not much room for the usual WP markers. The sherry cask finish adds a touch of grape, which I personally have a lot of trouble with. Not for me.
Review by rum_sk
5 YO Worthy Park at 50% abv matured first in Jamaica for 15 to 18 mths and then in Italy in Oloroso & Pedro Ximenez casks. This one is really heavy in the taste. Nose is nice, typical funky Jamaica but the taste is more robust than the nose. Lot of funk/esters along with fruity aroma in the nose but palate gives more woody and heavy full bodied taste of Jamaican rum. Lots of wood in the aftertaste that is super long. Not sure about this piece after first 4 cl. Have to give it another go. So far I have mixed feelings as I really like the nose but taste is kind of too heavy due to its strong ,,sheriff woody,, taste. I would go with 72/100 for a start. I think we will get along just fine as soon as I will get used to that strong woody taste. Let me know what do you think. Retaste: Nice rum but very raw and rough probably due to its age. I had younger but they were not as sharp as this one, therefore I am pulling down my original rating. Retaste 30.4.2023 I have to say that Oloroso finish is giving it a rounder sweeter character. Just a side note I am tasting it after Smith&Cross which is chilly/peppery and this one is better and more complex in taste. I like the nose of S&C more though. The Oloroso gives it more chocolate and creamy feel to it. Still you can sense a hell lot of Jamaica and woody, fruity notes. Nice rum that I appreciated fully only later when I tasted more and more rums.
Review by TheJona'Spirits
Tasted during a RumNation Masterclass. 👃 Light but recognizable funk, very fruity. Tropical fruits, light apple, cherry, dried fruits, ripe starfruit. Light woody spices, ester, glue and soft varnish. Fruit caramel, blond tobacco. 😋 Soft esters, light varnish, quite alcoholic. A bit more wood, spices, sweet licorice. Still lots of fruits between ripe and very ripe, from tropical to dried sherry fruits. A side of raisin bread pastries. ⛳ Medium to long, quite warm and alcoholic. Medicinal dry fruits not very pleasant, then slight bitterness of cherry with chocolate and spiced wood. 💡 A young Worthy Park, fruity, slightly funky, not very complex but relatively pleasant. The ABV could be better integrated. To discover the funky signature of Jamaican rums, with just the right amount of esters and a soft sherry finish. I raise the rating because this bottling has very good value for money.
Review by Eric Frechin
The whole is okay. On the nose you find a bit of funky banana esters, but very softened by dried fruit, raisins and wood. The palate loses some funk and leans towards the contributions of the oloroso cask. The raisin takes over accompanied by a touch of vinous Port. Also some pepper. Too bad I lose so much of the Worthy Park!
Review by Johannes
Amazingly good! Fantastic price-performance ratio. You can clearly taste Worthy Park, the PX finish is not superficial and very well integrated!
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Absolutely solid Jamaican!
Review by Luca
Not a typical Worthy Park in terms of taste. Reminds me more of a regular Appleton
Review by Robin Törnqvist
Much better this time with some air in the bottle. Good quality.
Review by Thomas
Price very interesting and quite tasty, but not a particularly great Jamaican. But should not be missing in a collection.
Review by kondgab
Good worthy park
Review by Александр Иванов
Nose: medium intensity. Lot of yellow fruits: banana, mango, dry apricots. Some esters, glue & nail polish. Little bit of nuts, yellow flowers, some biscuits & ginger. Good ! Taste: Bright & sweet. Lot of tropical fruits, ginger, mandarin. Medium spicy, woody. Little bit of esters, plastic & syrup. Typical :) Aftertaste: long & sweet. Lot of yellow fruits, some flowers, esters. Some leather, mandarin, spices. Little bit perfume. Average: really good rum for everyday. Super tasty & quite cheap. Love this one.
Review by Jonas Kofod
Very nice. Jamaica funch and complex sweetness with tropical fruits. Think the wood and char is not doing anything good for the end result. Not ruining it, but to much for me. To much barrel and to little sherry in that Olerosso. But it does bring some nice darker spicy notes to the party.
Review by carnoland
Nice discovery, good value for money
Review by Benoit Mahe
Quite pronounced smell and taste of banana candy/medicine. The palate is a bit more complex than the nose with spices and the cask. The texture remains soft and easy. Not bad but quite cloying.
Review by L'Expé RHIUM
Nose👃 : ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 - The 50° is good, the alcohol is well integrated. - Zesty with acidic notes (bitter orange, balsamic note). - Yellow tropical fruits (mainly banana, and a bit of pineapple). - Light and indulgent woodiness with a buttery caramel aspect. - Roasted nuts with caramel. Empyreumatic: dark chocolate, smoky, metallic (coppery). - Esters, varnished wood. - Medicinal Palate👄 : ⭐⭐⭐/5 - Soft attack for 50° and focused on: Yellow tropical fruits (mix of banana, ripe pineapple, and other tropical fruits) and esters. - "Dark" aspect on the esters and empyreumatic notes (dark chocolate with bitter orange, slightly smoky and metallic/coppery) - Medicinal - Almost no wood, but still brings roundness, harmony, and indulgence (light buttery caramel). - Roasted nuts - Still young (5 years) for a Jamaican: would have deserved to be aged to 7 years. Finish🔚 : ⭐⭐⭐/5 Medium to long on the empyreumatic aspect (bitter dark chocolate with orange, metallic/coppery, a bit smoky) and acidic tropical fruits.
Review by akkisz
Nice fruit, banana pineapple, ester and caramel, oloroso sherry is also clearly present. Quite dry in the mouth. Interesting combination. Fun to drink. A bit too edgy in the finish. Good for drinking neat but maybe better in drinks.
Review by Michael Janek
The aroma is sharper, citrusy, honeyed Taste honeyed, smooth, tingles after swallowing I feel a mix of different flavors
Review by Alexander Rasch
My RumRatings review from 5 years ago: The nose immediately hits with that Jamaica funk. Light glue and lots of ripe but also fresh fruit. A bit of menthol and light spice come through. The PX cask influence is rather weak here and shows up occasionally. On the palate, the rum is strong with a good body. Raisins and tropical fruits come through. Dried fruit and baking spices pair with some vanilla. The whole thing is rounded off with sweet sherry notes that capture the Jamaican well without overpowering it. The alcohol distributes the aromas well and warms wonderfully. The finish is fruity with a bit of solvent. Surprisingly, the rum stays present in the aftertaste for a long time. I can't quite understand the many average ratings. The rum is good and a great introduction to Jamaican rum. The Oloroso finish is well done and the short aging makes the rum fruity and wild. For under 50 euros, that's a lot of rum. You can't go wrong with it.
Review by Arnaud Faverjon
Really well done, great for the price, the aging in PX and Oloroso are a real plus, very good!
Review by Andreas Renöfält
Blind tasting one year later. Gave it exactly the same points once again.
Review by St___an E__e
Pleasant, beautiful rum that does not overwhelm even beginners
Review by FaoRouge
Good to sip, but, like the Hampden, not quite the kind of "funk" I prefer. A few drops of water (about 46% afterwards) brings out a bit more and dampens the alcoholic aftertaste, but I don't want to have to "help".
Review by R Wehner
Nose esters with a sherry undertone, interesting and promising; tongue first strongly astringent, then tasty. Jamaica meets Oloroso, harmonious, tasty, 50% well integrated, if you like sweet barrel influence, this is the place.
Review by Richard Krupa
Tato láhev mě opravdu baví, silnější sladká. Poměr cena výkon pecka

Tasted the Society Rum.
Review by Solidfunk
Burnt plantains and coconut husks. Dark golden pour. Light sweet finish. Not a ton of complexity here. Sweet finish. Had a glass of this at Honi Honi in Edmonton.
