This comes to us from Velier, and is an 11 year old tropically aged, pot distilled rum from Worthy Park. Bottled with no additives, lets see how this hold up.
I tried this blind, and then was revealed the bottling so keep that in mind while reading my review.
ABV: 58.5%
Nose: Orange Peel, cough syrup, cherry, oak char, guava, licorice.
Palate: Medium oily mouthfeel. Warm. Cough Syrupe, licorice, orange peel, vanilla, black pepper, mango, brine faint industrial funk.
Finish: Medium length finish. Warm. Heavy licorice, orange peel, vanilla bean, black pepper, slight oak char. Guava, mango
Rating: 7/10
This is a powerful bottling. High proof, great flavor and loads of complexity going on in it. Distinct tropical fruits, spices, and a lingering ever present cough syrup / light industrialness that makes this a great drink.
Guess: St.Lucia distillate rum. Barrel proof, 65-68% abv, aged 6-9 years. One of the old Hamilton St. Lucia’s.
Reveal: H.V. Worthy Park 2009 (11 Year) Well, I was way off on this one but was very pleased to find it tasted very different from other Worthy Park bottlings I have had. I am going to have to get myself a bottling of this thanks to this blind tasting.
