Product description
Comprising over 10,000 acres of land (about 40% of which is sugar cane plantations), Worthy Park in Jamaica was a gift given to Lieutenant Francis Price as a token of gratitude by Lord Oliver Cromwell.
The event took place in 1655, and the reason for this gratitude was Lt. Price's contribution to the recapture of Jamaica from the Spanish. The rum factory established on the estate produces a drink based on molasses, and distillation takes place in traditional copper stills. Worthy Park produced rum - with minor interruptions - until 1962. At that time, production was stopped due to overproduction and sales problems. In 2004, the owners of the estate, the Clarke family, decided to restart rum production. The new distillery was ready to operate in 2005.
