Distiller Notes
Tropical aging at the Worthy Park Estate, located in the geographical center of Jamaica, contributes to the maturity that gives this rum its full flavor. Worthy Park Select is a blend of rums, all aged for a minimum of four to 12 years in once used, American white oak, ex-bourbon barrels. Worthy Park Select is distilled in a 100% copper pot still built in Scotland.
Sweet notes of stewed apples and banana, followed by custard and light vanilla. Fruit dominates the palate while the aging process results in a long, mellow finish, banana, pineapple, and orange. Distinct flavors of crème brûlée, cacao, and coffee, accompanied by the unmistakable Jamaican funk resulting from the high ester pot-still rums.
