Worthy Park 10 Year Calvados Special Cask Series Rum (Limited Ed.) from Worthy Park was distilled in the iconic Forsyths Double Retort Pot Still at Worthy Park Estate in Jamaica in 2012, then 100% aged at origin in Jamaica’s tropical climate.
The initial 8-year maturation was carried out in ex-Bourbon American white oak barrels. The rum was then transferred to barrels that had previously contained calvados for a second maturation for a further 2 years. Total ageing is therefore 10 years.
A total of 8 casks make up this limited limited edition release, with just 1002 bottles available world-wide.
Extremely limited quantities have made their way to Australia.
TASTING NOTES
The nose of this Jamaican rum is typical of its fruity, aromatic tradition, yet expresses itself rather delicately. Exotic fruits are diffused in a light, fairly fresh syrup, with slightly oxidized pears and apples reminiscent of cider.
With aeration, the woodiness enters the dance, with a few touches of melted tannins, which respond to a slightly resinous and above all pastry-like greediness. This is Worthy Park’s trademark, with its banana bread and bitter almonds.
On the palate, the calvados barrel finish is evident from the outset. Tannic, fruity French oak takes the lead, encouraged by the flesh of a cooked, oxidized apple. Exotic fruits enter the scene, soaking up the freshness and acidity of the calvados, before gaining thickness and returning to their original shape.
The finish is gently spicy, slightly coppery, and lingers on a very pastry-like mellowness.
“A lovely marriage between Normandy and Jamaica…“.
