Worthy Park 9th Floor Cane Juice Rum Special Selection

This vibrant, high-ester rum shines when sipped neat or with a single large ice cube to unlock its complex aromas, but it also adds a funky punch to tiki-style or tropical cocktails; enjoy it year-round, especially on warm evenings, paired with spicy jerk chicken or grilled pineapple for a taste of Jamaica.

Nose: sautéed bell pepper (on the muted side, less harsh than fresh), slight olive brine, green banana, dry erase marker, papaya

Palate: heavy/thick, grassy, brine, lightly custardy, brûléed banana, minerality, papaya, citrus

Finish: you can see the thick oily legs on the glass and that’s how things feel on your tongue, just lingers and draws out the sweetness and the briny acidity

This rare bottling showcases Worthy Park's highest-ester WPE marque, made from 100% estate-grown sugarcane juice instead of molasses, fermented for 2-3 weeks in oak vats, and distilled in copper pot stills to create an intensely flavorful and funky unaged rum with an ester count up to 800 g/hL AA.

• This rum is made from 100% fresh sugarcane juice, a rarity for Jamaican rums which typically use molasses. It's like sipping liquid sunshine straight from the cane fields of Worthy Park Estate!
• With an ester count of up to 800 g/hL AA, this rum packs more aromatic compounds than many perfumes. It's so intensely flavorful that it's usually only used in tiny amounts to boost other rums—tasting it pure is like experiencing a flavor supernova!
• The sugarcane juice for this rum undergoes a marathon 2-3 week fermentation in American white oak vats, about 10 times longer than most rums. This extended "party time" for the yeast creates an explosion of unique flavors you won't find in any other spirit.
