Worthy Park Special Cask Series Jamaica Rum Madeira 2010
Worthy Park Special Cask Series Jamaica Rum Madeira 2010 is a vintage-dated Jamaican rum — a 90-proof (45% ABV) pot-still rum in a 750mL bottle, distilled in 2010 and bottled in 2020 after ten full years on the Worthy Park Estate. Eight years in ex-bourbon barrels built the foundation; a two-year finish in casks that previously held Madeira wine layered on dried fruit and spice. Non-chill-filtered with no color additives, like every Special Cask Series release. Order it online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

A Decade in the Making, Finished in Madeira
The Special Cask Series is Worthy Park's laboratory: take the estate's classic pot-still rum and give it a second maturation in a rare cask. For the 2010 vintage, ex-Madeira casks added their signature dried-fruit depth — vanilla and toasted almond on the nose, natural sweetness giving way to a long ginger note, and a finish that builds to tropical fruit, spice, and oak. See more from Worthy Park or explore the rum shelf at Del Mesa.
Tasting Notes
Bold vanilla and almond on the nose; natural sweetness with caramel and vanilla on the palate, opening into a long ginger note; a crescendo of tropical fruit, lingering spice, and oak on the finish (per the importer).
How to Enjoy
Neat in a tulip glass — a ten-year rum finished this carefully deserves a clean read. A few drops of water lift the dried-fruit layers further.
