New Yarmouth Rum Sponge No. 5 1994 26yr 63%
Rum Sponge No. 5 is an expertly crafted Jamaican rum distilled in 1994 at New Yarmouth, later bottled by Decadent Drinks LTD. Aged for 26 years, this limited edition rum—with just 249 bottles available—boasts a robust 63% ABV. It delivers enticing aromas of dried fruits, nutty undertones, and caramel. The palate reveals coconut, caramel, and chocolate flavors, with a woody finish. It draws admiration for its complexity while some feel it settles into a less dynamic taste profile. RumX users frequently note its sweet, Bajan-esque attributes and a distinct dessert-like essence. Balancing rich and subtle notes, this rum offers an intriguing journey for discerning connoisseurs, though opinions vary on its value.

“On the nose, a mix of dark flavors and masked fruit. But also wood shavings, resin and old varnished wood. The palate is balanced, even if the balance is on the dark, woody side. The banana is so ripe that it's all black, tasting like banana peel filaments. The finish is long and woody, like over-brewed black tea. A beautiful rum that tells a story, a story of fruit drowned in old wood (if that's possible).”

“Today a tasting with seven bottlings of the 1994 New Yarmouth: Thompson Brothers, Royal Cane, Kill Devil, Rum Sponge, Ron Artesanal, FRC Bottles Shop and Maolt, Grain & Cane. The Sponge is quite simple, lots of coconut and also one that reminds me of a good Foursquare.”

“#4534 09.01.2024 Sitting at home testing how my tastebuds are doing after change of medication. The iron overtones are slowly subsiding and I hope to be ready for our tasting on Friday. A very nice and fruity rum. Needs to rest for a good while to reduce the alcohol and open up the profile. The palate is spicy and well balanced with some chocolate. The finish is long and warm with a light vegetal note.”
