Worthy Park is an estate steeped with a rich history dating all the way back to 1670. The land was originally gifted to Francis Price for his service during the English capture of the island from the Spanish in 1655. First planted with cacao trees; a terrible blight left the estate bare to replant with sugar cane. The first record of rum being produced was in 1741 and production steadily continued while passing through different owners until the 1960s. Post WW2, the Jamaican Government took action to stop the over production of rum, coming to an agreement with Worthy Park- who stepped down and ceased distilling. Fortunately, in 2005 production began again after a 45 hiatus. Worthy Park proudly presents estate grown, aged and bottled rums.
Tasting Notes
From the distillery: “Aroma: Heady aromas with dried fruit, cocoa and green plantain.
TASTING NOTES: Opens with notes of fresh tropical fruit, hints of 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.”
Method
A blend of light ester rum, aged three years in ex-bourbon casks and non-age statement high ester rum, distilled in traditional pot stills. Bottled at 54.5% this rum is perfect for using in cocktails that call for a heavy rum influence.
