Worthy Park Single Estate Aged 12 Years

Worthy Park distils 100% pot still rum on a modern Forsyths still and ages it on the estate in St. Catherine, and this twelve year old is its own bottling, unsweetened and presented at 50%. Worthy Park draws its esters from fermentation alone, without dunder or muck pits, so the house style is clean and precise rather than chasing the highest funk, which this rum reflects well.

Twelve years of tropical ageing in ex-bourbon oak push the profile toward wood, with oak, caramel and tobacco framing the estate's signature banana. The palate stays balanced, banana and oak over baking spice, finishing long and warming. It is a characterful pot still Jamaican that leans on depth and integration rather than wild solvent notes, equally good neat or opened up with a splash of water, and an easy step up from the lighter estate bottlings.
