Worthy Park Rum Bar Gold 0.7L (40% Vol.)

The Rum Bar Gold bears its name rightly – the golden liquid in the elegant and slim 0.7 litre bottle reminds of summer, sun and beach.
This blended rum, whose youngest distillate is at least 4 years old, is a 100% Dominican product. Worthy Park Estate is the oldest distillery on the Caribbean island and uses only home-grown sugar cane and molasses.

Production

The Rum-Bar Gold is a blended rum made from different distillates of the distillery Worthy Park Estate. They were produced partly by the pot still process (discontinuous distillation) and partly by the column still process (continuous distillation). This young Gold Jamaica Rum has a relatively low alcohol content (40% vol.) and is produced without any added sugar or aromas.

Aroma

In the nose, fruity notes of banana, bitter apple and tropical fruits take over the tone.
On the palate the sweetness of vanilla joins tropical fruits. Aging in American sherry barrels also reveals notes of oak and molasses. The finish is full-bodied and dry with hints of eucalyptus – a pleasure.

Manufacturer

Worthy Park is located in the heart of Jamaica, far away from tourists and sandy beaches. Nestled in rolling hills, the distillery is located in the Louisas Valley. Worthy Park stands for authentic and traditional Jamaican rum. Since 1720 sugar cane has been cultivated and sugar produced here. Harvesting is mostly done by hand, but harvesting machines are increasingly being used as a support.
The Clark family, who have owned Worthy Park since 1918, decided in 2004 to develop a new range of Jamaican rum with the high quality ingredients of Worthy Park. One year later the distillery was rebuilt and in 2007 the Rum-Bar brand was launched. To her belong: White Overproof, Gold and Rum Cream. White Overproof and Gold are produced without the addition of sugar, flavours or other ingredients.

Awards

This still quite young blended rum has already received several awards, among others it won Gold in The Spirits Business Masters (Great Britain) in 2018 & 2019 and also Gold at the German Rumfestival in Berlin in 2017 & 2018.

Recommendation

Even if this blended rum would be recommended for cocktails or long drinks due to its age, we prefer it as a solo artist in a glass. So you can taste the Caribbean and dream yourself into a holiday.
