High Spirits 2007 Why not Toucans? Jamaica 9yo 55.9% 700ml is a unique expression crafted at the renowned Worthy Park distillery, one of Jamaica's most historic rum producers. This rum, bottled by High Spirits in 2016, brings with it an ABV of 55.9%, an assertion of its bold character and Jamaican heritage. Aged for nine years, this rum offers a complex profile that has sparked diverse opinions among rum aficionados.
On the nose, it reveals a rather light aroma accented with hints of banana, chocolate, pomace, kerosene, and red berries. While some find these notes intriguing, others have expressed disappointment with its more distinctive palate. One reviewer likened it to Grappa with flavors of pomace, old grapes, and mustiness, which they found off-putting. The finish, too, was deemed undrinkable by this reviewer, marking a rare negative experience with a Worthy Park rum.
Despite the mixed reviews, other rums from Worthy Park distilled in the same year have received high praise. For instance, the Rum Exchange St. Catherine (Worthy Park) 2013 5YO “Ruby Port Finish” was lauded for its creamy sweetness and notes of rich chocolate and leather. Similarly, Rum Nation Jamaica (Worthy Park) 7YO impressed with its straightforward profile of banana and milk chocolate. The Rum Artesanal Worthy Park “Bowmore Finish” 2007 13YO stood out with its unique maritime flavors of ash, banana, and roasted marshmallows, earning a respectable score of 84/100.
In conclusion, while High Spirits 2007 Why not Toucans? Jamaica 9yo 55.9% 700ml may not have met everyone's expectations, it serves as a testament to the variety and depth of flavors that Worthy Park rums can offer. From creamy sweetness to maritime notes, there is something for every rum enthusiast to explore and enjoy.
