WORTHY PARK – Very old rum – Port Cask Finish – 56%
Worthy Park was established in the 1670s, the sugar industry started there around 1710 and the distillation of molasses rums began soon after, designating Worthy Park Estate as the oldest distillery in Jamaica. Only 3 families headed the estate, the Price family, Francis Price being the first owner of the estate for services to the British Crown. In 1863, the estate passed into the hands of the Talbot family and since 1918 is owned by the Clarke family. Between 1950 and 2005, the distillation activity stops at the order of the Jamaican government but the sugar industry continues. The distillation is done in a single Forsyths still pot still double report copper, so dear to the realization of rum in the Jamaican style. At Worthy Park Estate, the environment is a major concern and occupies a key place in decision-making and business activity.
Port Worthy Park’s very old Port Cask Finish rum comes from the 2008 vintage. This rum was first aged 8 years in ex-Bourbon barrels under a tropical climate and, as the name suggests, is subject to an additional 1-year refining in ex-Porto barrels in continental climate.
