Wow, the nose alone invites you to linger for hours. Intense, heavy with a pleasant coconut note and great complexity. I would have guessed Foursquare in the blind test. Less "punch" on the palate than its brothers. But very balanced and complex. Ideal "drinking strength".excellent New Yarmouth from 1994!

Extrem rund, verführerisch süss mit viel Kokos und Vanillezucker, dazu rote Beeren, etwas Gewürze…am Gaumen überraschend feurig, was aber dank der reduzierten Stärke im Nachgang deutlich weniger durchschlägt als bei anderen Vertretern des Jahrgangs. Exquisit und gefährlich süffig.

A superb New Yarmouth that shows a whole other side of the Jamaican rum world. The nose is very well structured between fruity and pastry notes, where toffee and cookie mingle with roasted notes of coffee and mocha, sweet spices and an elegant and refined woodiness. The attack on the palate is supple and very delicate, with many spicy and fruity notes, roasted notes with coffee and dark chocolate and a rare woody note for a Jamaican rum that is greedy and really gripping. The whole has a creamy texture, an exquisite taste and an incredible roundness. The finish is extremely long, with menthol and tannic notes that come to the forefront of the initial dark and fruity profile. An absolutely divine high class rum.

gigantisch guter alter new Yarmouth! endlich Mal dass keksteig Profil, das die anderen 94er nicht haben. extrem süffig und harmonisch. Etwas dunkle chocolate chip cookies treffen auf Mango und etwas Minze, sowie überreife Banane und Orangenschale...echt geiler Stoff! Für mich wohl der beste 94er new Yarmouth und der bis dato einzige den ich mir echt gerne gekauft hätte. Hier bin ich tatsächlich ein Fan des reduzierten Alkoholgehalts da es einfach insgesamt stimmiger wirkt für mich.

The best NY I've tasted. Perfectly integrated alcohol, a roundness 😍. The flavors are excellent with a very nice length. Disappointed to have only 3cl so good. The best rating for a rum I put on this app 😍😍😍Édit : almost a year later I just made a sample, and it's really a superb product and I raised its rating by one point 😍😍😍

Great New Yarmouth. The SBS has more coco like the VM, the RA is more intense and overall for me still a bit better than SBS and VM.

really very impressive NY94, incredibly heavy and intense! Only on the palate comes through perhaps a little trace too much barrel / roasted flavors / tannins. But if the RA NY 94 25 yrs had 91 points, then I give for the V

This is a lovely rum and the years have added a lot of woodiness to it, not in a bad but in a good way. Fruity and wonderful spices are there from opening the bottle to the finish. A complex rum with roasted barrel on the palate and finish. Luckily I have another bottle coming in :-)

Only from the smell I would have blindly sworn stone and stone that I have a Foursquare in the glass. Pleasant, not intrusive. On the palate, the rum is then very nice fruity, but on Jamaica I still would not have guessed. The fruits seem kind of dry and I don't sense much ester either. The rum has a wonderful gentleman's impression, a noble drop, nothing for in between. The finish is surprisingly somewhat short.Conclusion: Tastes good to me!

Great stuff!!! On the nose delicate esters, fruit (banana/coconut), vanilla, cookie dough and caramel notes.On the palate lightly burnt caramel, not too strong wood and spice notes... transitioning into a strong espresso/mocha flavor!This continues on the palate! Class!

Oh yeah. A category of rums apart. Beautifully integrated alcohol and that coconut taste that keeps coming back. One has the impression to go in borderline barbados... Very very good with this discreet woody taste
