The Worthy Park distillery, founded in the 1670s, is a historic gem of Jamaica. The sugar industry started there around 1710, quickly followed by molasses rum production, placing Worthy Park Estate among the oldest authentic Jamaican distilleries. Since its creation, the estate has had only three owners: the Price family with Francis Price, the first owner honored for his services to the British Crown, then the Talbot family from 1863, and finally the Clarke family since 1918. Despite the forced halt of distillation between 1950 and 2005 by Jamaican government decision, sugar production continued. Today, distillation is carried out only in a copper double pot still Forsyths, emblematic of the traditional Jamaican style. Environmental preservation is a core value at Worthy Park Estate, integrated into all strategic and operational decisions.
This aged rum Forsyths WP - WPM was distilled in this famous Forsyths still from the exceptional harvest of vintage 2006. Originating from the historic Worthy Park distillery, whose name was deliberately omitted on this label at the distillery's request, this unique rarity was entrusted to us by Habitation Velier. It is the very first vintage produced after Worthy Park resumed distillation. After careful aging of 11 years in ex-Bourbon barrels, this exceptional rum was bottled at cask strength, offering a powerful and authentic aromatic richness, ideal for connoisseurs and discerning lovers of rare Jamaican rums.
