Worthy Park Estate 'The Funk' Heavy Pot Still Rum St. Catherine Parish, Jamaica

700ml bottle

50% abv

Nose of intense overripe tropical fruits—fermented banana, pineapple, mango—with molasses, acetone, and vegetal Jamaican funk. The palate delivers bold tropical fruit, brown sugar, caramel, and estery funk, balanced by oak spice, licorice, and warming alcohol. Long finish with persistent funk, tropical fruit, spice, and robust heat.

High-ester pot still Jamaican white rum, distilled from molasses at Worthy Park Estate in St. Catherine Parish, Jamaica, sourced and bottled by Proof and Wood in Bardstown, Kentucky

The Funk is a high-ester rum from the Worthy Park Estate, not unlike the flavorful pot still rums once so popular among the British Royal Navy, full of bold tropical fruit notes and the notorious “hogo” (from “haute goût,” meaning “piquant”) that made the island’s spirit so famous. Try using this surprisingly versatile “seasoning” rum in small quantities to increase the depth and funk of any rum or fruit-based cocktails.

The Funk is heavy pot still Jamaican rum. Unaged and bottled at 100°, The Funk presents the great tropical and earthy flavors one expects in a traditional Jamaican pot still rum.
