Cocktail enthusiasts will appreciate Worthy Park Overproof Jamaica Rum for its bold, authentic flavor profile that captures the essence of Jamaica in every sip. This 63% ABV powerhouse is a blend of five unaged rum marks, distilled in a 100% copper pot still, and adheres to the strict Jamaican Rum Standard of using no additives, resulting in a pure expression of Caribbean terroir that's perfect for elevating classic cocktails or sipping neat for the truly adventurous.
Worthy Park Overproof Jamaica Rum shines in bold, tropical cocktails where its intense flavors can take center stage, but it's also a treat for adventurous sippers who enjoy it neat or with a single ice cube. This potent spirit is perfect for sultry summer evenings, pairing wonderfully with spicy jerk chicken or rich, fruity desserts that can stand up to its robust character.
Nose: Sharp ethanol burn gives way to ripe banana, fresh pineapple, and cut sugarcane. Grassy notes mingle with tropical fruit aromas of papaya and passion fruit. Hints of fermented pineapple add complexity.
Palate: Intense heat from the high proof is balanced by sweet molasses and ripe banana. Tropical fruits dominate - papaya, passion fruit, and pineapple. Light vegetal notes reminiscent of fresh sugarcane. Underlying funkiness characteristic of Jamaican rum.
Finish: Long and warming. The heat lingers, accompanied by lasting tropical fruit flavors. Subtle grassy notes and a touch of vanilla emerge. Leaves a pleasant tingling sensation on the tongue.
Worthy Park Overproof Jamaica Rum is crafted using a blend of five different unaged rum marks, all distilled in a 100% copper pot still built in Scotland. What's particularly fascinating about this rum's production is that every step, from growing and harvesting the sugar cane to fermenting, distilling, and bottling, takes place entirely on the Worthy Park Estate, ensuring complete control over quality and maintaining the authentic Jamaican character.
This rum is what white overproofs strive to be: bold, flavorful, hot yet smooth and refreshing. There is a strong not so overripe banana flavor with sweet brown sugar notes on the nose. The mouth is an explosion of warm fruity flavors and the finish goes on for days with a warmth that will leave you wanting even more. Strong banana flavor throughout, always a plus. I highly recommend with no reservations
The obvious question is this: is it as good as Wray & Nephew White Overproof? I would argue, yes, but...
There are a lot of similar flavors and aromas but it's definitely not Wray & Nephew on its own. It has its own unique taste that is reminiscent but not identical, which is good. I don't want a copy cat knock off, I want a unique experience in a bottle. The flavors offered are fantastic unto itself and you can and should use this rum for recipes calling for white overproofs.
That said, in a Wray & Ting, you'd be very hard pressed to distinguish this from Wray, which for some may be the greatest endorsement.
