Worthy Park Special Cask Series Jamaica Rum Port 2010
Worthy Park Special Cask Series Jamaica Rum Port 2010 is the port-finished sibling of the Madeira 2010 — a 90-proof (45% ABV) Jamaican pot-still rum in a 750mL bottle, distilled in 2010 and bottled in 2020. Eight years in ex-bourbon barrels were followed by two years in casks that previously held ruby port wine, wrapping the estate's funky pot-still character in layers of dark fruit and wine richness. Non-chill-filtered, no color added. Order it online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Port Wine Meets Jamaican Funk
Where the Madeira finish leans toward dried fruit and ginger, the ruby port finish goes darker and jammier: sweet caramel and banana up front, dried tropical fruit and raisins through the middle, cassis jam on the palate, and port wine emerging on the finish. It is the same 2010 distillate as its Madeira sibling — a rare chance to taste how two years in different wine casks bend one rum in two directions.

Tasting Notes
Sweet caramel, banana, and raspberry on the nose; dried tropical fruit and raisins mingle with cassis jam on the palate; port wine emerges notably on the long finish (per the importer).
How to Enjoy
Neat, side by side with the Madeira 2010 if you can — the pair is a masterclass in cask influence. Otherwise, a contemplative after-dinner pour.
