"If you expect a classic NY profile with lots of fruit esters, you'll be surprised - there's far less fruit bomb here than extremely tasty salted caramel candy. A decidedly elegant potpourri of caramel sweetness, fine minerality, vanilla, oak and subtle cocoa bitterness. In addition, tropical fruit notes, which at no time play in the foreground, but deliver an extremely entertaining play of flavors in addition to the aforementioned protagonists. Great release and a highlight among the 1994 New Yarmouths."

"Very intense yet inviting aromatics. Classic NY94 profile on the palate. Reminders of salted caramel. Pleasant spiciness on the finish. Great rum!"

"This is an excellent New Yarmouth.... Very balanced, harmonious and elegant! These salty caramel notes with the subtle spices, cocoa and barrel aromas literally pamper the palate. Oily distribution. Alcohol is well integrated. Fruit aromas are very easily perceptible"

"My score is Nose 91, Taste 92and the Aftertaste 92. So the overall score is 92 points. Well balanced, no off notes, no bitterness, a nice sweetness and long aftertaste. Very good complexity and body and integrated alcohol."
