    "In the blind tasting, I would have guessed Foursquare. However, somewhat darker and toastier with little fruitiness. On the palate creamy, spicy and relatively dry. Beautiful bottling for a top rating but complexity on the palate is missing."

    "Heute ein Tasting mit sieben Abfüllungen des 1994 New Yarmouth: Thompson Brothers, Royal Cane, Kill Devil, Rum Sponge, Ron Artesanal, FRC Bottles Shop und Maolt, Grain & Cane. Der Thompson Brothers ist einer der fruchtigeren NY mit einer schönen Johannisbeeren-Note, aber irgendwie recht einfach. Guter Rum, aber bei dem heutigen Line-Up das Schlusslicht."
