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.
Worthy Park Special Barrel Series Cognac 2014 is a single-barrel edition, prepared especially for the Polish distributor of Worthy Park, The Last Port. The rum distilled in 2014 matured for 5 years in an American bourbon barrel. Then it was poured into a French oak cognac barrel for another 2 years. The entire maturation process took place in the tropical climate of Jamaica, on the Worthy Park estate. Limited edition to 269 bottles.
