Excellence Rhum New Yarmouth NYC 1994 27yr 67,8%

"Bam, once you open this bottle you know where in the world you are. An elegant and yet fruity rum with some wood, smoke, spice and delicious fruit. A bit expensive but we'll worth the money 😀"

"Today we have a 4 flight New Yarmouth 1994, one of my favorite profiles, Appleton 21yr goes SVW. #4 goes to Thompson Bros. A bit woodier, simpler, from memory very similar to Kill Devil. #3 the Valinch & Mallet. More balanced, a bit smoother, less strong (as far as one can speak of it in the 60% range) and additionally a pleasant biscuit/biscuit note. #2, now getting close, the Excellence Rhum. Hammer nose with a wonderful animal note a la Caroni 21 Extra Strong, a bit woodier in the mouth. Coconut and dried apricot. #1 goes to Swell de Spirits. Very strong, round and balanced. Dried apricot, which I like a lot. In the mouth the hammer, warm, a little less wood than the others, long, great finish."

"today two venerable representatives of their profession: the Excellence Rhum NY 94 in comparison with the FRC Bottle Shop NY 94. Both 27/28 years spent in the barrel, both of them 24 in tropical climes, both 67.8% ABV. Therefore not surprising that both are very similar on the nose at first, with decent coconut, vanilla and barrel. The ER goes perhaps a bit more in the direction of anise, polish and cake. The FRC tends more towards tropical fruit (papaya), marzipan and candied orange peel. I can hardly make out any differences on the palate. The high ABV is equally well integrated in both. Bottom line for me both on the same level."

"A New Yarmouth with an atypical profile, offering something quite different from Jamaican esters. The nose is very elegant and complex, with beautiful pastry notes, sweet spices and chocolate, followed by a basket of exotic fruit, orange and dried fruit. On the palate, spices come first before giving way to roasted notes, nuts, espresso flavors and a light smoky woodiness. Coconut and dried fruit add deliciousness to this rum, whose 67.8% alcohol content is very well integrated. The long, warm, dry finish extends the toasty, roasted flavors described above. A fine selection from Excellence Rhum."

"Excellent NY94! Very appealing nose. Perfect combination of fruit, spice and sweetness."

"Intense rum. Reminded me in the nose slightly PEZ dextrose with berry flavor. In the mouth slight tingle from the alcohol. Nice overall package. Very good rum."

"A very good representative of the 94 NY! Swings with me between very good and excellent... I would have liked a little more fruit... but that's complaining at a high level"

"Very good representative of the NY 94 series, on par with the Swell de Spirits."
