Aroma visualization from community tastings
Valinch & Mallet Worthy Park Sainte Catherine 2007
"Easy sipping, not that complex but a really sweet and nice flower ish profile" is one take, but tasters split hard here. The nose promises fruit — banana, pear, orange zest — then the palate turns dry, woody and bitter, with cinnamon, nutmeg and an earthy, tannic edge. Several found the alcohol a touch rough and called it unusual for a Jamaican pot-still.
The community says- Fruity, floral nose
- Cask-strength character
- But: Dry and bitter

Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
I have had a short break from tasting because I felt like 2-3 days a week with tasting was a bit over the top. Back in shape again and we had a wonderful evening yesterday. This one was a very nice surprise and one I'd recommend to sip if you get the chance. A nice and fruity profile from nose to finish.

Review by Lukas Jäger
Very bitter and woody for the age. Not bad, but a little unharmonious I find. Who likes it spicy and bitter, is right here, but for a Jamaican yet very unusual and also somehow not what I'm looking for in such a rum
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
The nose has a lovely fruity profile (banana, pear and red fruits). Spices, wood and orange zest. Inviting for tasting... On the palate, it's a far cry from the nose. It's very dark! There's spice (cinnamon) but above all woodiness. The whole is very dry, earthy and relatively bitter (tannins). The finish is of the same ilk, very spicy (nutmeg-cardamom) with a hint of lemon zest. I was disappointed by this juice, clearly expecting more. This aromatic profile doesn't really suit me.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
I was hoping for more, relatively simple profile. spicy, cinnamony, warm woody and very dry and relatively bitter.... slightly musty furry pear, cardamom, nutmeg and lemon zest, as well as a certain roasty maltiness... alcohol could be a little better integrated, but on the whole okay.
