Rum-Bar Silver Rum

Rum-Bar Silver filled a hole the market amazingly had — in The Lone Caner's words, no unaged, all-pot-still Jamaican white at 40% existed until Worthy Park made one in 2017, and it made a mark immediately. Worthy Park Estate in the St. Catherine hills of Jamaica has grown cane since 1670 and made rum since 1741; it stopped in 1962 amid a postwar glut and, after the Clarke family built a state-of-the-art distillery in 2005, relaunched in 2007 with the 63% Overproof. Silver is the gentler sibling: a blend of three marques with different fermentation times, all 100% pot-still rum from estate-grown molasses distilled on the Forsyth double-retort copper pot still, unaged, and bottled at 40% ABV with no additives. The Lone Caner calls it a softer, easier unaged pot-still rum with just enough funk to appeal and just enough cool not to scare drinkers off — manna from heaven for people who walk warily around overproofs, and easy to see why it's so popular. Rum Ratings' drinkers find a fruity, nutty nose with acetone, vinegar, ripe banana, and apple, then a mild, sweet palate of banana, citrus, vanilla, coconut, and caramel — one dark-rum fan surprised by the lack of typical silver harshness. Honest note: it's a cocktail white with real Jamaican character rather than a sipper. For a Daiquiri that changes your mind about white rum, a Mojito, a Mai Tai split, or a Piña Colada with hogo, it's Worthy Park's easy white.
