Worthy Park RA Rum WP 2007

Worthy Park WP 2007 is a single cask bottled by Rum Artesanal, the German house known for full-proof, unsweetened single casks in the Jamaican heartland tradition. Drawn from a single 2007 barrel and bottled at fifteen years old and cask strength, it shows Worthy Park's clean, precise pot-still character pulled in an atypical direction, far from the usual green-apple-and-banana estate signature.

Distilled on the Forsyths pot still from molasses and matured in ex-bourbon oak, this one drinks dry and herbal: juniper, tea and floral notes up front with brown sugar and light young wood, then a butterscotch and vanilla palate that turns eucalyptus, pineapple and roasted on the finish. The gin-adjacent botanical streak makes it a talking point rather than a straightforward fruit bomb. Unsweetened and bottled at 59.1%, it rewards slow sipping and a little air, and suits drinkers who want a Worthy Park that does something genuinely unexpected.
