Worthy Park 109 Jamaica Rum
Cocktail builders and Jamaican-funk fans on a budget are the real audience here. Expect overripe banana, cola, caramelized sugar and smoky oak, with pot-still esters running through it. One taster nailed it: "a baked banana in liquid form." At 54.5% the alcohol shows, and a few find it wood-heavy and a bit bitter neat, but it shines in a glass.
The community says- Overripe banana funk
- Great mixing rum
- But: Added coloring

Funky, banana-and-cola Jamaican mixing powerhouse Loved as a high-proof mixer with real Worthy Park funk and unbeatable value. Most say it holds up brilliantly in cocktails; neat it can read hot, woody and a little one-note.

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!

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 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 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 Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
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.
Review by Johannes
Very good plv!
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 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 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 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
Review by abaker-rum
The nose has caramel, cola, tropical fruit, and some wood. The palate evolves from carmalized fruit to a roasted profile with buttery toffee and butterscotch. I feel the finish on the rum is the best part. This rum drinks surprisingly well for 109 proof, and it is well suited for a cocktail as it will hold up.
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
Review by Rumbaer
Extrem dunkle Farbe. Ein schwieriger Rum zum pur genießen, wahrscheinlich bin ich aber auch einfach noch nicht so weit In der Nase starker Fassgeruch, etwas modrig. Für mich persönlich nicht angenehm. Geschmack dann volle Breitseite altes Holz, vielleicht noch vergorene Pflaume oder Rosine?
Review by Rumpalumpa
Unter den blackstrap Rums wahrscheinlich der beste. Durch die Zugabe von Melasse ist das auch das dominante Aroma, was in Cocktails super hervortritt. Dazu kommt noch der Funk, der pur besser zur Geltung kommt.

Read full review →They really are as good as and in many cases, so much better than a lot of the more popular, more established brands. This is another rum that can easily compete alongside the competition and even cut its own path? Whilst it has a lot in common with a lot...
Expert review by Zucker und Zeste
For the price, a high-flyer. Intended as a mixer but also pure drinkable. Have him in several cocktails can try and were very taken. Belongs in every home bar
