Worthy Park Select Jamaica Rum

Worthy Park Select Jamaica Rum hails from the Lluidas Vale in Jamaica, a site with a rum-making history stretching back to 1741. While the estate itself was founded in 1670 and began sugar cultivation in 1720, rum production ceased in the 1960s due to market conditions. The Clarke family, owners since 1918, spearheaded the construction of a new, modern distillery in 2005, effectively reviving Worthy Park's rum legacy. This particular expression, Worthy Park Select, is a blend of 100% copper pot still rums aged between four and twelve years in American white oak ex-bourbon barrels, all taking place on the estate. Known for their "cane to glass" approach, Worthy Park manages the entire process from sugarcane cultivation to bottling, ensuring a distinct Jamaican character in their spirits.

Worthy Park Select brings that classic Jamaican funk with notes of ripe banana, vanilla, and a hint of oak, making it a solid choice for your home bar. This blend of 4 to 12-year-old rums, all pot-distilled and tropically aged at the Worthy Park Estate, really sings in classic rum cocktails where its full flavor can shine through. Think Daiquiris or a simple Rum Cooler to let its character do the talking.

Worthy Park Select offers a smooth, mellow aroma of vanilla, banana, and a hint of cinnamon. On the palate, you'll find sweet molasses, tropical fruits like pineapple and orange, and a touch of peach and chocolate, which then develops into creamy caramel and toffee with oak notes. The finish is long, mellow, and velvety, with lingering banana and pineapple.
