THE AMBASSADORS BRING A BOTTLE PARTY: WORTHY PARK 12 YEARS SINGLE ESTATE 2006
With the Worthy Park 12 Years Single Estate 2006, Nina presented an almost extinct rarity from 2018 on behalf of 1423. Today I would like to tell you whether it is still worth buying one of the last bottles.
RUM-BAR SILVER REVIEW
Rum-Bar Silver is a wonderful Jamaican rum. The rum is dominated by banana notes throughout the nose and the palate. Although most likely not considered a “sipper,” the rum is one of the most fragrant on the market with a complex palate to match. Most intriguing here is the price point.
RUM-BAR GOLD REVIEW
Rum-Bar Gold is a wonderful Jamaican rum. The rum is well-balanced and integrated throughout. Experiencing this rum is a must for anyone interested in tasting 100% pot still Jamaican rums. At 4 years old, the rum has a lot of flavor, balancing toasted oak and baking spices with slight banana and grassiness.
RUM-BAR OVERPROOF REVIEW
Rum-Bar Overproof is one of the more intense rums on the market. It’s hard to say that this is simply Rum-Bar Silver with higher ABV because although it presents an intense banana note, the overripe fruits and vanilla custard notes are unique and certainly an experience that shouldn’t be overlooked.
WORTHY PARK SINGLE ESTATE RESERVE REVIEW
Worthy Park Single Estate Reserve is one of the finest examples of Jamaican rum available. One would have a hard time looking for something wrong to say about this rum. At around $60 per 750ml bottle, it is a remarkable option in today’s market, and one would not be disappointed in having this in their collection.

REVIEW: RUM-BAR SILVER
The Rum-Bar range hails from Jamaica and it was launched in 2007 by the newly upgraded and re-opened Worthy Park distillery. Worthy Park was established as an estate since 1670, but unfortunately in 1962 it had to stop rum production due to a oversupply of Jamaican rum following World War II.
TWO SISTERS AND A RUM BAR!
British poet Lord Byron, born circa 1788, during the height of West Indian sugar and rum production, certainly knew what he was talking about, which is not particularly surprising considering the role of the British in the region’s history as sugar- and rum-producing societies. Rum was first developed in the Caribbean at the height of slavery in the 17th century when it was discovered that by fermenting.
WORTHY PARK: A JAMAICAN RUM DISTILLERY FOR THE 21ST CENTURY
Martin Cate is about to be crushed by sugar cane. For someone so passionate about rum, it would be an entirely fitting way to check out. Luckily, Gordon Clarke, Worthy Park’s Co-Managing Director, is watching out for our group, obliviously snapping photos, and yells for us to move out of the way.
RUM JOURNEY 2015 DAY
