Rum-Bar Gold

Info: 50% ABV. Mostly 4 years old, with a little bit of 8yo. Mostly WPL marque. 60-119 g/hL AA (I think?) for the unaged distillate. Caramel color added for batch consistency. Aged in Brown-Forman bourbon barrels.

Flavor profile: Banana, but also a high amount of astringency and a cherry cough sleep flavor I don't care for. The palate is more approachable and vanilla-forward.

A great Jamaican mixer, but not my favorite (nor in my top 5). I love Worthy Park, but this one was a bit of a let-down.

This rum is 100% pot still from molasses, aged for 4 years in american whiskey barrels.
I got the previous "Worthy Park Gold" bottling, but the rum is the same.
Great in punches, fruit cocktails and tiki.
It's very interesting to sip neat, because it reminds more a Highland Scotch than a classical aged rum.
4 (real) years are an optimal age because with a longer barrel time we will lose the unique taste and aromas from Jamaica.

Great choise. Pure tasty rum!!

This Rum is stored in 4 years and 40% strong. It feels mature with some body and ii is very much Jamaica style Rum. Okay Rum!

The first impression is pleasant. I noticed apple and acetone in aroma and taste. The finish is boring and harsh. .,.,.,.,. Ром соответствует цветам флага Ямайки: жёлтый - солнечный экстерьер бутылки и яркий аромат; зелёный - открывает растительные оттенки, мне понравились яблочные ноты; чёрный - после 3 рюмки становится скучноват своей простотой и неприятной жёсткостью в животе. Повторно купить одну - можно.

For the price I was expecting this to be purely a mixer. However the 4 years aging did ther job. Its perfectly fine to sip on its own and be enjoyable. It can't beat sippers in the much higher price range, but its a good experiece. Will be seeking out more Worthy Park Estate rums!

Pas mal mais manque de punch par rapport au blanc et le vieillissement le lisse un peu trop. Il en perd de la personnalité.

20ml uit een advent kalender. Typische Jamaicaanse "funk" en bananen. Niet spectaculair verders.

Helles Honiggelb im Glas.
In der Nase, Düfte wie frische Früchte mit Käsekuchen auf einem frisch lackiertem Holzteller.
Im Gaumen, reife weisse Trauben, Karamell und Vanille begleitet von einer scharfen Alkohol Note.
Im Abgang, süsse Früchte die in Lösungsmittel eingelegt sind.
Ein funky Jamaika Rum der durchaus noch ein paar Jahre im Fass bleiben könnte.
Für Entdecker und Experimentierfreudige.

Bright honey yellow in the glass.
On the nose, smells like fresh fruits with cheesecake on a freshly painted wooden plate.
On the palate, ripe white grapes, caramel and vanilla accompanied by a sharp alcoholic touch.
In the finish, sweet fruits that are soaked in solvent.
A funky Jamaican rum that could stay in the barrel for a few more years.
For explorers and experimenters.

Big funk. Not really my style. Much smoother than Hampden. Some banana and fruit. No real burn but plenty of bite. Short finish. Quality rum. A preponderance of funk is just not my personal preference.
