    "This 94 NY is also of excellent quality ! A little stronger compared to the Flensburger, but otherwise they do not give each other much! A pleasure Today the second time in the glass... my first tasting is fully confirmed, this is a first class NY"

    "An der Nase Dörrobst, Toffee, Blutorange, Cola, erdige bzw fast staubige Noten, schwarze Johannisbeeren, getrocknete Kräuter, alter Kleiderschrank…Richtig guter 94er NY, muss ich nochmal im direkten Vergleich gegen den Royal Cane antreten lassen."

    "Die Nase macht richtig Spaß und Lust auf das typische 94er Kokos Karamell Vanille und Fass Profil. Geschmacklich dann deutlich verbrannter und rauchiger als erwartet. Etwas leicht verbrannter Karamell, stark angeröstete Kokoschips, Tabak, Leder und Milchschokolade, sowie Medjoul-Datteln und Vanillemark und starkem Mokka. Sehr lecker aber nicht mein absoluter Favorit an 94er New Yarmouths!"
