Worthy Park 12 years old Single Estate Jamaica Rum 70 cl 50%

From the copper pot still to a French apple brandy cask - a limited release with no sugar or additives, pure Jamaican rum from start to finish.

Expert Description

Worthy Park 12 Year is a Single Estate Rum from Jamaica, 12 years old, distilled in a 100% copper pot still and aged first on ex-bourbon casks followed by maturation on ex-Calvados casks, bottled at 50%.

The rum is pot-still distilled on Worthy Park's 100% copper still, giving a full-bodied, characterful distillate. It is first aged on ex-bourbon casks before being moved onto ex-Calvados casks - French apple brandy casks - which add a different fruit note to the powerful, ester-rich Jamaican base. The bottle is non-chill filtered and contains no sugar or other additives, just pure Jamaican rum. It is a limited release.

Worthy Park Estate is known for having some of the highest ester levels in Jamaica, giving their rum a marked, intense fruitiness.
