Worthy Park 109 Jamaica Rum
Mixers and cocktail builders are the obvious home for this Worthy Park pot-still: overripe banana and ester funk on the nose, then a heavier, woodier, spicier palate with brown sugar, cola and licorice. The 54.5% is fairly well tucked in. One taster called it "a baked banana in liquid form." Plenty sip it neat, but most reach for it to mix.
- Banana and ester funk
- Great for cocktails
- Strong value

Funky banana Jamaican, built for mixing Most see it as a great-value Jamaican workhorse: funky banana and caramel that shines in cocktails. Neat it splits people — some love it, others find the wood, bitterness and licorice take over.

Review by crazyforgoodbooze
for 35€ the liter an absolute PLV firecracker! makes an absolutely horny corn'n'oil by the way!on the nose comes dark, smoky malt beer and a lot of cola, as well as demerara sugar to the fore and some dark berries, pineapple and burnt wood.taste the alcohol is really surprisingly well integrated and tastes intensely of malt, cola and licorice, as well as esters, red berries and papaya.... then in the finish burnt wood, malt, cardamom and bitter licorice, as well as peach and creme brúlée. very good!
Review by kudzey
Very nice, woody rum from WP. Good price-quality ratio though lacks complexity. It's profile is dominated by wood and has no fruits or esters that I have anticipated. I need to try this on a cocktail.
Review by Christoph
Actually bought as a mix rum, but it is almost too bad for that. A mixture of Esterrum with the typical Worthy Park fruit basket and in addition rather sweet, mildly fruity rum.
Review by DJ Wolfson
The first smelling was very woody, but after a moment the fruits came out, followed with faint cola smell. The taste, was not as forgiving with a heavy forward of spice and wood. The long aftertaste slowly brought out the flavors found in the smell.
Review by LukaŽiga
8,5:The nose fills us with happiness, when we find the beautiful dried banana typical of the Distillery, lots of sour cherry/cherry, some Jamaican funkiness. Like an ultra-tropical whisky, this emblematic banana envelops the spirit, inviting us into a full-bodied indulgence that smells of gunpowder and exoticism. With aeration, the fruit becomes finer, fresher, closer to pear or stewed peaches, plums-punchy.A touch of roasting has crept in. Aromas of coffee, caramel and roasted nuts emerge. 8:The palate doesn't disappoint, with a spicy entry and a texture that carries a lightly woody, almost mineral, charcoal grain-agricole like. It's the charred oak barrel speaking at this point, encouraged by a dark, burnt caramel. At the heart of this caramel are roasted nuts, which themselves cover our copper-tinged dried banana.Just minimum bitterness comes in. 8:The finish is long, lingering on exotic fruits. Easy for enjoying neat.Why just for cocktails?! Nice price/performance! Edit:7.6.25, a great mixer, 19.4 26

Vune zvlastni a chut taky divna
Review by Stefan Persson
This Pot Still rum is a blend of rums that’s consisting of unaged rum as well as rum aged for up to 3 years. Overall it’s a great high esters, funky and well balanced rum with heavy flavors. The nose is fresh and fruity. At palate it’s quite heavy, funky and oaky.
Review by Tobin
Surprisingly good wine for the price. Woody, smoky, fruity on the nose - some cherry. Apple and tropical fruit on the palate, but still spicy, just like a WP. Overall a little too alcoholic.
Review by Mike H.
71 points. Probably unbeatable at this price and very good as a mixer but not really that good pure. I get a lot of wood and caramel, the alcohol isn’t well integrated but at this price one can’t really complain.
Review by Lutz Lungershausen
Die 54% schlagen durch, fruchtige Nase wird zu kräftig-würzigem Geschmack, tolle natürliche Aromen-Vielfalt . 04.2024 Erster Eindruck: würzig, kräftig Nase: Gewürze, Melasse, Trockenfrüchte, Lakritz? Gaumen: die 54,5% ergeben mit Trockenfrüchten, Melasse, Holz und Gewürzen einen richtig kräftigen Schluck. Wenn man jemandem Rum erklären möchte, dann mit dem WP109. Abgang: warm, mittellang, harmonisch Notiz: Ich hab im Februar 2024 Worthy Park Estate, Lluidas Vale auf Jamaika besucht – eine echte Empfehlung für alle Rum-Fans, die nach Jamaika kommen. Hier könnt ihr auch sehen, wie das Zuckerrohr geerntet und verladen wird und es gab 5 Rums als Tasting ( u.a. den 109 und den zu der Zeit noch ganz neuen WP White Overproof). Wie man auf dem Foto sehen kann, habe ich mich auch mit WP Fanboy-Artikeln eingedeckt 😉

Looking at the price tag you actually get a lot for your money. On the other hand I think this rum will be a favourite among the Tiki drinkers put there or for other mixers. The nose is fruity with burnt caramel, smoky wood and light tea. The palate is sweet and fruity with caramel, roasted wood and light petrol notes. The finish is medium long with roasted wood and caramel. This one has a very dominant caramel from start to finish.

All my Tastings and Scores are purely based on “Rums under £50”. I rarely look at Rums over £50 for my YouTube.

Very good plv!
Review by Tom Buteneers
I didn't expect to like it pure so much. Price/quality is one of the best things I've ever drunk:<€40 for 1L 😯 it looks like the Demera River flows through Jamaica 🤷♂️ Dark WP fruit with Guyana caramel ❤️ It's also undoubtedly going to be an insane mixer!Edit: best rum 'n coke ever, great in a dark 'n stormy but there may be better rums for that.Edit 2: great in rum sour, along with Plantation Stiggins
Review by HenryL
For the price range exciting finish, evolves from malty bitterness to a creamy sweetness (crème brûlée-like) and at the very end comes some salt liquorice.
Review by TheJackDrop
Notes prises lors du Rhum Fest 2024, Notes rapides et palais un peu lourd, désolé :) On a ici : un liquide trop sombre pour moi mais..que j'ai apprécié pour une fois. Un rhum : dark, sur le caramel et le chocolat Finale : salée, très salée meme ! Un mix parfait dans une expresso Martini ?
Review by Christian Rudt
Strong enough for cocktails and colored for this beautiful look. This would clarify the intended use. You can drink it neat, but you don't have to. And I also bothered here the licorice note 🤷🏻♂️
Review by RumTaTa
Blind verkostet und sofort schon an der Nase erkannt 😁 Nase: überreife Banane, Würzigkeit und Süße harmonieren gut. Mund: leider nicht mehr so viel Banane sondern mehr Würze und leichte Bitterkeit (Kaffee) Abgang: noch mehr bittere Noten und die Fruchtigkeit tritt noch weiter zurück. Rum mit ausgezeichneten PLV!
Review by Skyfly
Super fruchtig in der Nase; von den Holznoten die man im Gaumen schmeckt keine Spur. Gewürze, Karamell und tropische Früchte fügen sich dabei gut ein. Der Abgang ist lang und vor allem Holzig. Alkohol sehr dominant. Super PLV, vor allem als Mixer
