Worthy Park Select Rum

Worthy Park Select is single estate Jamaican rum, distilled entirely on a pot still at one of the island's most precise houses. Worthy Park draws its esters from long fermentation and yeast rather than chasing the highest funk, so its character is cleaner and more polished than the heaviest Jamaican distilleries, which makes this an approachable way in.

The nose leads with banana, pear and tropical fruit and a gentle ester lift, the palate carries that fruit and funk over a touch of molasses, and the finish turns dry and lightly roasted with a honeyed note. At 40% the funk is soft rather than aggressive, the Worthy Park signature in a casual, everyday format, and it is unsweetened. A smooth daily sipper or mixer for the rum curious who want to meet Jamaican pot still character without getting hit head on, and a reliable building block in cocktails.
