TBRC Worthy Park Secret Distillery #1

Franconian Tasting Gang on 02.03.24 I have been lurking around this rum for some time and have considered offering it as an underdog split because of its good ratings. For the price it is really a P/L rocket.

Oh, that's a surprise - for this price really exceptionally good. Banana in a sulphurous and overripe "musty" profile. I've had much worse for much more money. Certainly a great PLV mixer.

Sehr nachdenklich und schmackhaft. Wahrscheinlich tropisch gealtert. Ich vermute, es ist ein Worthy Park.

sehr mutiger und lustiger WP, angeblich aus einem Sauternes-Fass.

Nose is funky with lots of tropical fruits and crème brûlée. The palate brings the same funk, fruits, sweet, wood, chocolate and maybe medicinal notes. Medium finish which combines a sweetness and tannins. It punches above it’s weight to my mind and is great value.

Ein absolutes Schnäppchen bei einem Verkaufspreis von £25. Die Kombination aus Sauternes und Funk ist ein sehr schönes Experiment. Die Nase ist schön, die Palette köstlich, aber der Abgang ist für mich nicht ausgezeichnet. Die harzigen Noten der französischen Eiche passen nicht perfekt zu dem esterartigen, chemischen Abgang. Insgesamt ein unschlagbarer jamaikanischer Ausdruck für den gezahlten Preis. Ich werde meine Bewertung aktualisieren, wenn ich die Flasche weiter getrunken habe.

Definitely Worthy Park, the typical banana is clearly evident. WP is generally well suited to finishes, as is the case here. The nose and attack are really very good, and the finish really complements the character of the rum. The only drawback for me is the finish, as there is a slight off-note (dry wood with a slight sulphur note?). Nevertheless, all in all a nice rum at a great PLV.

At first this one was troubeling for me. I couldn't really place it. My taste for jamaican rum isn't very developed jet, so I compared it against 2 other high proof, young, jamaican rums I had laying around; Smith & Cross and Le Liquoriste Single Estate Jamaica rum 2013. It's much less funky on the nose and much darker of taste. Burnt sugar, dark chocolate, more red fruit. Much to like. I read somewhere that it was finished on ex-sauternes casks? I don't get the same wine-y flavour that I got from the Daily Dram Foursquare sauternes. Still very enjoyable. I need to get used to this one but I don't think it will take long ;)

Fruchtig (Banane und Ananas), funky, delikat, typisch jamaikanisch

Worthy Park with a lot of banana.
