Worthy Park Single Estate Reserve – Velier 70th Anniversary Edition

This Single Estate Reserve is a Worthy Park release tied to Velier's 70th Anniversary, a blend of the distillery's own pot-still spirit bottled at ten years old. Worthy Park in St. Catherine is single-estate and 100% pot still, prized for clean, precise, moderate-ester rum, and this edition takes that signature and gives it more proof and depth than the standard estate bottling.

Distilled on the modern Forsyths still from molasses and matured in ex-bourbon oak, the ten years build structure while keeping the estate's polished clarity. Expect apple, tropical fruit, banana and vanilla on the nose, then tropical fruit, banana, wood and spice across the palate, with a sweet, oak-and-spice finish. Unsweetened and bottled at a well-integrated 57%, it carries a little alcoholic edge but stays smooth for its strength, with drier fruit and more spice than the entry expressions. A strong next step for explorers ready for higher-proof Worthy Park pot still.
