Worthy Park Overproof

Review by: The Auditor

Review #1240; Rum #550

This bottling is a new edition of rum from the Worthy Park distillery in Jamaica. This is a new blend of molasses and cane juice rums meant to replace the Rum Bar Overproof blend. This rum was distilled on a copper bot still, blended in Jamaica, and bottled with no additives at a high proof.

Distillery: Worthy Park

Bottler: Worthy Park

Region: Jamaica

Still: Pot

ABV: 63%

Nose: Tropical fruits, Banana, Guava, touch of brine, grass, lemon zest

Palate: Medium oily mouthfeel, crisp, Banana, brine, lemongrass, coriander, touch of toasted coconut flakes

Finish: Medium length finish, banana, brine, lemongrass, black pepper, coriander, toasted coconut flakes

Conclusion: This is a great new rum for Worthy Park. The cane juice brings a touch of brine and grass zest to the already great flavor the classic worthy park flavors that are already here. I like this neat, but it would truly shine in a cocktail as expected from a Jamaican overproof rum.

Final Score: 88

I have drank my fair amount of single malt but got started writing reviews about Single Malt and Bourbon in 2018. Over 1000 total reviews later and I focus mainly on Sugar Cane Spirits now. However, single malt is a still a spirits category I enjoy greatly as is Agave and Brandy. I wouldn’t go as far as to call myself an expert but I am the resident Rum obsessed writer for Malt Runners.
