The sea of World Cup revelers parted for the afternoon on Sunday, offering the opportunity for Dr Funk to hold their quarterly Rum Asylum rum club meeting. The featured rum this time was Worthy Park from Jamaica, one of our favorites.
The session included tasting seven of Worthy Park’s expressions, including the recent 12 year bottle that is by no means inexpensive so that was a true treat. We also had a nice presentation from a couple Worthy Park reps and some informative Q&A.
Each Rum Asylum meet up includes a cocktail made with the featured rum, and the Dr Funk did a great job with the spicy and rummy Going Bananas. This worked great with the fruit notes that Overproof Jamaican rums are known for.
Several people completed the third level of the Rum Asylum to great applause and those of us in level II took a group photo. There were also several people joining for the first time and starting their rum lists as well. The rum community in San Jose is building nicely thanks to Dr Funk’s fine collection and these fun and informative Rum Asylum meetups.
