Worthy Park 109 Aged Rum 750ml

Worthy Park 109 brings navy strength intensity to their rum program, bottling this expression at 109 proof (54.5% ABV) in homage to traditional navy rum strength. This high-proof dark rum showcases Worthy Park's pot still character at maximum intensity, creating a rum that demands respect while rewarding brave souls with concentrated Jamaican flavor. The result is rum for those who believe more is more when it comes to tropical intensity. Dark amber to mahogany color reflects both aging and possible caramel adjustment for navy tradition. The nose, even at this strength, reveals Worthy Park's distinctive character amplified—tropical fruit funk, molasses richness, and subtle smoke create powerful aromatics. The 109 proof carries every note with authority: overripe banana, grilled pineapple, brown sugar, and that distinctive Jamaican funk that polarizes and captivates. Oak adds vanilla and spice without taming the beast. At navy strength, the palate experience is intense yet surprisingly balanced. Initial impact is powerful but not harsh, with quality distillation showing through. Concentrated tropical fruit flavors mingle with molasses sweetness and oak spice, while the high proof ensures every flavor hits with maximum impact. The funky notes that define Jamaican rum are amplified—think concentrated essence of rum character. Despite strength, complexity remains discernible. The finish is extraordinarily long and warming, with flavors evolving as proof heat subsides. This 109 expression excels in cocktails where dilution is expected, cutting through any mixer while maintaining character. For the adventurous, careful neat sipping reveals concentrated Jamaican rum essence. Worthy Park 109 proves that navy strength traditions persist for good reason—maximum flavor, maximum impact, maximum satisfaction for those who can handle it.
