Worthy Park Single Estate Reserve 6-10 Years

Very nice funky Jamaican rum. Bit milder than the Worthy Park 109, but that may be due to the slightly lower ABV. Honestly, I'm not sure this is worth the price over the WP109. Originally, I was going to say that I probably just prefer younger Jamaican rums, but that's not the case since Hampden rums are also aged and don't lose the bold flavors. Having said that, this may be an easier sipper, without the huge funk. I think I would put this at a comfortable 7, while the WP109 is more like a 7.5 (and a much better value).

I can’t believe it has taken me so long to try this beauty. I little bit funky and great depth. I’ve had so many bottles of the apples 12yr which I love but this WP gives it a run for its money. The apples is slightly more perfumey. This is complex and just the right amount of funk and chewiness.

I can tolerate this rum neat, or with ice. But it is not worthy of the price. Diplomatico or Plantation XO special, is way better than this stuff. The Diplomatico costs $65, The Plantation is $80, and this garbage was $85.

All the funk and hogo you want (almost anyway) but without any bite. Super smooth and great for sipping. Lots of overripe fruit with nuts and honey also. Extremely dry which would make it ideal for tiki drinks.

Disappointment, for his price. Aroma some banana and fruit. Taste very short and sharp from alcohol, filling that rum very young.

Good stuff, fine smell, taste as well, this is average good rum for good price.

I didn't realize until after buying this that its a low ester Worthy Park offering, so its really nothing like a funky Jamaican rum, which is what I was expecting. However, its a very good rum anyway. Its dry and has a whisky like character to it, and is one of the better examples of whisky-like rum that I've tried.

I'm not very good at using words to describe the flavor, but I do get the banana influence. It has a fairly long finish and is very smooth for 45% ABV, and tastes like a lot of effort went into making a high quality product. I'm happy to see Mr. Rumantic also gave it the same rating as I did, and was able to elaborate more on the flavor profile that he perceived. He also mentioned that if being super-critical he might consider it to be a little too watery, I don't really agree with that, but I might understand what he means. The higher ABV and flavor profile might normally be associated with a more syrupy and velvety mouthfeel, but this is intense yet lighter bodied. Apologies if I mis-understood, but that's my take on it.

edit: after a bit of time to reflect on this, I'd have to say this rum is a bit one-dimensional and I lost interest in it pretty quickly as it sat on my bar along side 20 other rums. I blended in some Hamilton Pot Still Black to give it a bit more character, and I like it better after the blending. As a result I'm dropping my rating from an 8 to a 7. I get that it was never intended to be a Jamaican funk style, but I got bored with it so quickly for what it was that I needed to make it more interesting.

Pretty good smell and taste, absolutely caramelly and fruity. It was abit more stingy than I would like, and I did not enjoy it neat as much as I would have liked. Maybe I would have liked it better at ABV 40 rather than 45.
