JMWP Rum 15 yo (54%, Thompson Bros., Jamaica, 259 bottles) 
What a lovely, dirty, punkish label, you would almost believe our friend Jamie Reid made it. But this should be Worthy Park, so shh… Colour: gold. Nose: huuuge, on old Comté cheese, pearish varnish, brine, old Gouda, pipe tobacco, Williams pear eau-de-vie… In truth I find this stunning, I'm sure it'll go well with foie gras. With water: forgot to say, that would be duck, it's too heavy for goose. Mouth (neat): exceptional spirit, focused, tight, smoky and ashy, simple and yet tertiary, salty, coastal… I think we'll mention oysters. With water: ooh, sorrel! Finish: very long, splendid, chiselled, with notes of Portuguese anchovy cream. Obrigada. Comments: the only question that remains is, between Worthy Park and Hampden, which is Ardbeg and which is Lagavulin? What do you say? Very well selected, Phil and Simon (and Colin and Ros). A pinnacle of malternative rum.
