Worthy Park Select

Review #1143; Rum #460

Worthy Park select is a blend of rums from the Worth Park distillery in Jamaica meant, I believe, to occupy the aged Jamaican rum category similar to Worthy Park gold, but for the Worthy Park brand. This bottling is made from Worthy Park molasses that has been distilled on a pot still. The rums in the blend are aged 4-12 years and are bottled with no additives.

This is just fine, and that is what I suspect it is meant to be. It has a nice flavor, a bit thin but I know that it would be a workhorse in cocktails. If I had this in the US I would likely keep it around as a low proof aged Jamaican workhorse that isn’t high ester but just has a nice balanced low proof flavor.
