Distilled on October 2012, this version was aged first in a tropical climate until November 2016 and then for almost a year in a continental climate. The very original initial nose unmistakably sets the tone for an aromatic and gustatory palette that requires careful observation to ensure none of its many surprises are missed. This propensity for mischief is just part of its charm.
Transcontinental Rum Line Jamaica Wp Navy 2012 Rum Tasting Notes
Nose: Intense with stacks of sweetshop flavours: fruit jellies and jelly beans, pear drops, rhubarb and custards, pineapple and cola cubes.
Palate: Big and flavoursome, with salted lemons quickly followed by the sweets from the nose – a big mixed bag from the newsagents.
Finish: Banana and apple purée fades slowly leaving a mint and menthol coolness and spiced toffee.
Distillery Information
Worthy Park Estate deep in the heart of Lluidas Vale, surrounded by mountain ranges and lush and fertile terrain. It is located in the central parish of St. Catherine and is known for its traditional, authentic Jamaican rum.
The estate was actually gifted to Lt. Francis Price for his services to Cromwell during the English capture of the island from the Spanish in 1655. Throughout over 10,000 acres of land, around 40% of the land is currently in sugar cultivation. The molasses used in rum production is extracted on the property; their sugar factory has been rated #1 on the island for efficiency every year since 1968. They distill their rums in a traditional 100% copper Jamaican pot still, producing heavy bodied rums, and even use native yeast cultivated from their own sugar cane crop.
