Worthy Park Special Cask Series Calvados Rum

Worthy Park Special Cask Series Calvados is a 10-year-old rum distilled in a 100% copper pot Still. First, it was aged in an Ex-Bourbon cask, then it underwent a second maturation in an Ex-Calvados cask.

Imagine standing 1200 feet above sea level, overlooking more than 9,000 acres of lush foliage, a mixture of sugarcane fields and natural forests. Breathtaking valleys unite the rolling mountain ranges, standing guard over stalks of sugarcane swaying in the cool mountain breeze. This is the Worthy Park Estate. Their sugar factory has been producing sugar and molasses with undiminished strength since 1720; and this very molasses is used for the distillation of all their rum.

The influence of the Calvados casks is immediate on the nose. This combined with traditional Worthy Park notes is reminiscent of a fruit basket; tropical fruit flavors of banana and sapodilla mixed with apples and floral notes. Sweet caramel, a little vanilla and cinnamon rounded off with a subtle smokiness are also present in the aroma. When tasting, one is met with a more subdued sweetness with an intricate blend of the fruit flavors that come through. An almost menthol-like coolness that lingers in the finish, combined with faint hints of caramel and dark chocolate.

It's a limited bottling, so get your hands on one while you can! You will find no sugar or other additives in the bottle, only pure Jamaican rum. 45% – 70 cl.
