Worthy Park 2013 Special Cask Series Sherry Finish 5-Year

I was so tempted to give this a 10. But I just feel like perfection must be kept in reserve. This one will be very, very hard to beat and has to be near perfection. A SOLID 9.7 Nose is spectacular, sherry, floral notes and a hint of molasses. Beautifully warm and supple on the pallet. Immediately fills your senses. A magnificent sipper. Good neat or over ice. Thick rich and complex. The sherry is not overpowering but very evident and in perfect balance with butter, vanilla, cinnamon, molasses and almond. Stunningly delicious. Finish is long, slow and silky smooth. But there is plenty of bite. This is RUM! This is expertly balanced. OUTSTANDING. Just lightly sweet with smoke notes too. Scotch drinkers will LOVE this rum. WOW! Go directly to your best liquor retailer and get this. Thank me later. You have to try this. If your best store doesn't have it go on line to Fine Drams as I did. It is well worth the wait to have it shipped. Definitely one of the best 2 or 3 rums I have ever tasted. I am going to buy 2 more bottles at least. I have to tuck one away for the sad day when one will no longer be able to get this unequaled spirit.

Already aroma is smooth, warm and full of sherry. Taste is sweeth and warm. Basic layer fruity flowers tones, top layer sherry. Power of 57% alcohol is on the edge to be too strong. Aftertaste is long with many layers, but always including sherry in background.

Nose: dried fruit, rather dark, manuka honey, some sour cherries, plums, raisins, oiled leather, esters rather subtle in the background, pineapple, a touch of passion fruit, some lamp oil
Taste: Pineapple more intense than on the nose, passion fruit and dried fruit, some motor oil, raisins, tobacco, plums, bright and voluminous but the alcohol well integrated, molasses and manuka honey
Finish: Nice passion fruit, plums, tobacco, raisins, ginger, warm and medium length, lots of sherry influence
Comment: Complex, perfectly influenced from the cask, not too much, not too little, alcohol perfectly intregrated, delicious.

barva žlutohnědá
- vůně až nevýrazná, zlehka typický WP a sherry, ovocnost, třešně, koření
- chuť nasládlá, jemná, 57% velmi příjemných, typický WP, ovocnost, dozrávání po sherry

Aroma hodně po sherry, barva světlejší, chuť - silnější, stiplavejsi, je cítím po pralinkach.

Getestet auf dem Rum Festival in Berlin 2018 und für gut befunden.

Alkohol: 57 %
Původ: Jamajka
Aroma: Pralinky, smažený banán, to je poznávací značka Worthy Parku. Tady ve sladším hávu sherry Pedro Ximénez a Oloroso. Ubylo tím svěžesti, je sladší a těžší. (86 b)
Chuť: Sladkost trochu maskuje sílu alkoholu, zároveň se sladké PX mlátí s typickými chutěmi Worthy Parku. (84 b)
Body: 85

Jag gillar mer "funk" men Sherry fatets sötma gör den rund och god.
