HAVING STRUGGLED TO ASCERTAIN
Having struggled to ascertain its premium credentials, rum is now coming into its own with an increase in the number of producers and expressions. As our taste test shows, quality is also on the rise.
RUM-BAR RUM CREAM
Rum-Bar Rum Cream from Worthy Park Estate, Jamaica. Until recently only rums and spiced rums have featured for review on the site. With Christmas upon us I figured, we may as well continue the festive theme of the Rumvent Calendar with a liqueur!
Whisky based liqueurs such as Baileys are very popular in the UK, especially in the run up to Christmas. Most Supermarkets discount them and price-wars frequently break out.
WORTHY PARK SINGLE ESTATE RESERVE
Worthy Park Single Estate Reserve. I’ve been waiting quite a while for this one. I’m a big fan of Worthy Park’s Rum-Bar range. Which include a White Overproof, a Gold rum and a very tasty Rum Cream.
Over the past couple of years Independent bottlers have been releasing quite a lot of rums from Worthy Park.
RUM-BAR GOLD PREMIUM JAMAICA RUM
Rum-Bar Gold is a barrel aged Jamaican Rum from the Worthy Park Estate. The Estate has been involved in Sugar Production since 1720.
However, due to events described in this interview, I conducted with Alexander Kong they have been absent from the Rum Market until fairly recently.
Back in 2004/5 they set about building a new state of the art distillery in order to begin producing rum again.
TASTING NOTES
Very Smooth. Worthy Park’s Rum-Bar is immaculately, transparently clear. Sniffing reveals a pleasing, if not-quite delicate rum, with an initial bouquet.
RUM-BAR RUM CREAM
For whatever reason Rum Creams, so popular in Jamaica for example have failed to penetrate the UK market. I can’t think of single Rum Cream which is readily available in the UK – Rum Chata perhaps.
RUM-BAR WHITE OVERPROOF
Rum-Bar Rum is a brand which is part of the Rum-Bar Brand family.
They have two types of rum; Overproof and Gold, plus a Rum Cream Liqueur and even a Vodka all from the Worthy Park Estate in Jamaica.
WORTHY PARK SINGLE ESTATE 2006 – 12 YEAR
Back after a summer break with a review of Worthy Parks latest flagship Rum. The Worthy Park Single Estate 2006 12 Year Old.
WORTHY PARK ESTATE SIGNATURE RANGE
“How the hell has it taken me so long to write something about Worthy Park” is what I asked myself when I looked at the collection of Rums from the distillery that I have on the shelves. Ever present at Rum Festivals globally since around 2015, which is incidentally where I first met Zan Kong and Gordon Clarke.
