A UNIQUE DISCOVERY
Cask number 1 rotation number V29056-2 is a remarkable spirit, boasting the rich heritage of Worthy Park Distillery and the authentic Jamaican rum-making tradition. The combination of estate-grown sugar cane, native yeast, and traditional production methods speaks to a commitment to quality and authenticity that spans centuries.
The dual aging process, first in ex-Bourbon casks in Jamaica followed by further maturation in ex-Rum casks in the UK, contributes to the complexity and depth of flavour in this rum. The tropical aging in Jamaica imparts the initial character, while the continental aging in the UK allowed for additional interaction with the wood.
The result is a rum with layers of flavour, showcasing the funky Jamaican profile along with nuanced notes from the wood and aging process. Bottled by House of Rum in 2023, it's a testament to collaboration and expertise in the world of rum production.
RICH AND COMPELLING
Nose – Captivating earthy notes accompanied by an enticing scent of almonds, followed by raisins and a touch of candied lemon. A hint of lime provides citrus freshness.
Palate – Rich caramel and toasted syrup lead the palate, paving the way for a velvety wave of creamy vanilla sweetness on the palate. As the flavours unfold, a gentle touch of leather emerges, leaving a pleasantly dry and satisfying finish.
DISTILLERY
Worthy Park Estate is nestled in the heart of Lluidas Vale, shielded by mountain ranges and surrounded by fertile terrain where sugarcane thrives. Sugarcane cultivation has persisted uninterrupted at Worthy Park since 1720, while the first recorded instance of rum production occurred in 1741. Worthy Park's rum production begins with molasses extracted from their own sugar factory, and their fermentation process utilises proprietary native yeast cultivated from their sugar cane crop. The liquid is then distilled using the traditional Jamaican pot-still distillation method
