Worthy Park was established back in 1670, and started producing rum in 1741. It is the oldest plantation distillery in Jamaica still operating. It was closed in 1962 but re-opened in 2005. This particular rum was distilled 2006 and bottled 2018, and it was matured for 12 years in ex-bourbon casks at the distillery.

My tasting notes
Nose: A bit shy at first. There is some fruitiness. Then vanilla and caramel. With time also a mild funkiness.
Taste: Full bodied. Lots of herbal honey, creamy vanilla, and spicy marshmallows.
Finish: Long finish. Fruity hard candy, green herbs, ginger, vanilla and caramel. More of the funk in the finish.
Comment: Funky candy store!
Score 92/100
