WORTHY PARK - 2010 - Port Finish - Special Cask Series - 45%
Worthy Park is a distillery located in Jamaica, in the Vale of Lluidas. It was established in 1670 and the building has remained the same since, when the estate has grown through the acquisition of neighboring properties. The property has been in the Clarke family since 1918. At that time, Worthy Park was not only engaged in sugarcane cultivation andsugar production, but the land was used for beef cattle, citrus fruits, poultry and other agricultural crops. However, there has been a steady reduction in polyculture and breeding in favour of increased cultivation of sugar cane and sugar production: around 40% of the land is currently cultivated for the sugar industry with 20 different varieties of cane. Worthy Park has been producing rum since the 1740s. Jamaican rum supply was in surplus after World War II and, under an agreement with the Spirits Pool Association of Jamaica, production was discontinued in 1962 and Worthy Park ceased operations, only temporarily. After decades of being unable to distill, the Clarke family decided in 2004 that there was room for Jamaican rum, made with quality ingredients by distilling according to the traditional Jamaican Pot-Still method.
This Special Cask series was distilled in 2010 and aged for 10 years; 8 years in ex-Bourbon casks and 2 years in ex-Ruby Port casks.
