What is Worthy Park Select Jamaica Rum?

Worthy Park Select Jamaica Rum offers a unique taste of Jamaican terroir, blending rums aged 4-12 years in ex-bourbon barrels at the historic Worthy Park Estate. Interestingly, this rum is distilled in a 100% copper pot still built in Scotland, marrying traditional Scottish craftsmanship with Jamaica's legendary rum-making expertise to create a spirit that embodies the best of both worlds.

Why do we love Worthy Park Select Jamaica Rum?

Cocktail enthusiasts should embrace Worthy Park Select for its distinctive "Jamaican funk" - intense tropical fruit and earthy notes derived from high-ester pot-still distillation. This estate-bottled rum showcases the terroir of Jamaica's interior, with each step from sugarcane to bottle taking place on the historic Worthy Park Estate founded in 1670.

How do you drink Worthy Park Select Jamaica Rum?

Worthy Park Select Jamaica Rum shines when sipped neat or with a single large ice cube, allowing its complex flavors of tropical fruit, caramel, and spice to fully unfold. This versatile spirit also excels in classic rum cocktails or paired with grilled meats and tropical fruits, making it a perfect choice for warm summer evenings or as a warming winter treat.

Nose: Rich aromas of toffee and caramel greet the senses, followed by hints of stewed apples and ripe bananas. There's a subtle undercurrent of vanilla custard and a touch of that characteristic Jamaican funk.

Palate: Sweet and full-bodied, with prominent notes of tropical fruits like banana and pineapple. The flavor profile expands to include orange zest, crème brûlée, and a surprising hint of coffee. The high-ester pot-still influence is evident, contributing to a complex and robust taste experience.

Finish: Long and mellow, with lingering notes of banana and pineapple. The sweetness gradually fades, giving way to subtle oak tannins and a light spiciness. A faint cocoa bitterness emerges at the very end, providing a satisfying conclusion to the tasting journey.

Worthy Park Select Jamaica Rum is crafted using a 100% copper pot still built in Scotland, which contributes to its distinctive flavor profile. What's particularly intriguing about its production is that every step, from cane harvesting to bottling, occurs on the Worthy Park Estate itself, ensuring complete control over the rum-making process and allowing the terroir of central Jamaica to shine through in the final product.

  • Worthy Park Estate, where this rum is produced, has been in continuous operation since 1670 and is one of the oldest sugar estates in the Caribbean. It survived numerous historical events, including slave rebellions and two world wars, making each bottle a taste of over 350 years of Jamaican history.
  • The unique "Jamaican funk" flavor in Worthy Park Select comes from a process using wild yeasts native to the estate. These yeasts, which have evolved alongside the sugarcane for centuries, create complex esters during fermentation that give the rum its distinctive fruity and funky notes.
  • Worthy Park's location in the geographical center of Jamaica, known as Lluidas Vale (which means "Valley of Lluidas"), sits at an elevation of 1,200 feet above sea level. This microclimate creates ideal conditions for tropical aging, allowing the rum to develop its rich flavor profile more quickly than rums aged at sea level.
