Worthy Park Estate is a rum distillery in Jamaica that dates back to the 1600s. The land was gifted to a lieutenant in the British army, Francis Price for his assistance in conquering the Spanish for control of Jamaica in 1655.

His first plantation was cultivating ground provisions and cocoa plants, but most Jamaican planters switched to sugar cane after the disease took over the cocoa plant in Jamaica. The Worthy Park Estate made the switch as well.

Worthy Park has changed owners multiple times over the years until it finally rested in the hands of its current owners, the Clarke family. Federick L. Clarke bought the property in 1918 for £44, 000.

Though the rum produced by the estate is relatively new to the market today, Worthy Park has records proving that its rum distillery long before all other distilleries still in operation today. However, rum production was halted in the 1960s as per an agreement with the government. There was an oversupply of Jamaican Rum following World War II, and the decision was made for some rum distilleries to take a step back.

In 2005, Worthy Park invested in a state-of-the-art distillery to resume the tradition of rum production in Jamaica and reenter the Jamaican rum market.

By 2007, they released their white rum contender, Rum-Bar. It was so named for the watering holes that scatter Jamaican communities and roadsides all over the island, the backbone of Jamaican culture. It is currently one of the island's most popular white rum brands.

Ten years later, the Single Estate Reserve was launched. The dark blend of 100% copper pot-still rum had been ageing since the rebirth of the Worthy Park distillery – 6-10 years. The natural light amber-coloured liquid has the distinct aromas of tobacco, spicy fruits and warm vanilla.
