Valinch & Mallet New Yarmouth The Spirit Of Art

"Extreme good delicious rum! In the nose it‘s like a rum from Barbados/Foursquare. Alcohol is integrated very well. Update: One of the NW 1994 I’ve tasted. It needs at least of 30 min to fully open up and a few drops of water helps too."

"Extremely round, seductively sweet with lots of coconut and vanilla sugar, plus red berries, some spices...surprisingly fiery on the palate, but thanks to the reduced strength, this is much less noticeable in the aftertaste than with other representatives of the vintage. Exquisite and dangerously drinkable."

"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!"

"Today we have a 4 flight New Yarmouth 1994, one of my favorite profiles, Appleton 21yr goes SVW."

"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."

"gigantically good old new Yarmouth! finally that cookie dough profile that the other 94s don't have. extremely drinkable and harmonious. Some dark chocolate chip cookies meet mango and a little mint, as well as overripe banana and orange peel...really great stuff! For me, this is probably the best '94 New Yarmouth and the only one to date that I would have really liked to have bought. I'm actually a fan of the reduced alcohol content here as it just seems more harmonious for me overall."

"Beautiful tropical long sweetness. Wonderful color and smell. However, I don't have anything to compare it to the 94 NY. Still a wonderful bottling 2 years later. At the same time complex, but incredibly drinkable. If the price were lower, this rum could even be recommended to beginners. We enjoyed it after a barbecue and were delighted. A completely relaxed and easy-going New Yarmouth. Perhaps even the most uncomplicated top rum I've ever had in a glass."

"Blind I would have guessed Foursquare for this one probably 😅"

"Very good New Yarmouth. Fruitier and more funky than the Rum Artesanal release but alcohol is less well integrated. We can especially notice it on the palate. Still a nice rum and strong release from Valinch & Mallet 👌"

"Really good NY94! Not quite as complex as the RA"

"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."

"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 😍😍😍"

"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 :-) "

"Dark, woody notes in balance with the fruity ones on the nose. Very bitter on the palate, with very little fruit, which was balanced on the nose. The finish is long, especially on the bitter side. An interesting dark rum, but in direct comparison with other NY 1994s, it still seems weaker."

"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"
