The Wild Parrot New Yarmouth NY Distillery (Special Edition for Corman Collins)

"A nose of overripe banana, pear, mirabelle plum and light wood. The palate has a soft attack, then is immediately full-bodied. The freshness is astonishing, with noble vanilla rounding out the picture. The finish is quite long, with acidic fruit and light oak. The empty glass is a fine summary of this interesting, well-balanced rum."

"On the nose the bottling delivers the classic New Yarmotuh notes with cookie dough and sweetness, but also accompanied by quite some herbal notes. Woody notes are also quite present which work well with the other notes in the profile."

"Edit Edit: also a blast in MaiTai. Unfortunately now empty 😞 Edit: From the fresh bottle it has now really convinced me again. What a beautiful drop. Once again a super New Yarmouth. A little more sharp-edged and intense than the others. But in a very pleasant way, a little wilder, but strangely enough I like that very much. Thanks to Serge for sharing with me as I was late for the split."

"Revisit of this gentlewoman. A rather charming sweet iteration of 2009 Nye. I think the pastry notes really came with bottle age to be the shining star in thi ester festival. But in the end I reduced the scoring slightly"

"New Yarmouth ist mittlerweile kein Geheimtipp mehr und das völlig zurecht. Hatte glaube ich bis jetzt noch keine schlechte Abfüllung erwischt. Diese reiht sich qualitativ nahtlos an meine bisher verkosteten New Yarmouth an. Der Start am Gaumen ist sehr cremig, geschmeidig mit Backgewürz, Keksteig und vermischt sich mit Banane und sonstigen tropischen Früchtem und zunehmend zum Abgang nehmen die Ester und die Ananas im Mund mehr gestalt an. New Yarmouth gewohnt lecker, Wild Parrot gewohnt überteuert."

"Delicious Bew Yarmouth with lots of cookie dough, cookies and baking spices as well as fruity pineapple, glue and solvents. A little pungent on the palate but very tasty. The price-performance ratio was somewhat better elsewhere."

"Tasting evening with Dr. Django (Jamaica): I quite like this Wild Parot NY. Its aroma is very complex and quite pleasant. On the palate, it develops a delicious marzipan sweetness, paired with some spice and wood. I like that, but it still doesn't come close to my previous benchmark in terms of NY from RA"

"RA NY 2009 > Wild Parrot NY 2009 Superb younger New Yarmouth with perfect integration on the barrel. In my opinion the alcohol is not integrated well and feels very spicy in mouth. Anyway, it‘s super delicious with all the classic NY notes, esters and a very nice chocolate cookie note😏 Yummy"

"Ohhh yes .... this is a NY as I like it ... beautiful fruit, spices and esters great balance! Alcohol well integrated. A little rounder but also slightly woody and bitterer in the finish (compared to the RA 2009s) a great rum although quite expensive ..."

"Very nice New Yarmouth with typical associations to cookie dough, marzipan and tropical fruits. Pleasant ester and wood notes. The 13 years in the barrel suit the rum very well. The alcohol is also very well integrated. A clear recommendation!"

"In direct comparison to the CDI NY 2009 clearly edgier and more alcoholic. Especially on the nose he makes me no fun...The cookie dough and fruit notes are not quite as dominant here, instead I find more burnt plastic, unripe pineapple, too hot and bitter brewed coffee, some cinnamon stars and especially a disturbing for me vinegar note.... Not bad but with an additional almost 100€ price difference in the RRP, the Wild parrot definitely draws the short straw here. But is still complaining at a high level. Tasty stuff! Am still glad that I bought for almost the same money 2 bottles of CDI 😜😜"

"What an awesome release. Finally 2009 NY again. The two more years in the barrel were noticeable compared to the RA. A little more wood and a little less fruit. Awesome stuff. If it weren't for the 240€ price for 0.7 liters it would scratch 90. Also makes an excellent Mai Tai."

"Without direct comparison, it can't quite keep up with the NY of 2005. But still high level!"

"Toller 2009er New Yarmouth. Sonst beeindruckt mich das Vintage nicht. Hier halten sich die Bittertöne zum Glück in Grenzen und er ist recht ausgewogen."

"Favorite of the 3 NY 2009 tasted tonight, not the fruitiest but best integrated. Feels a bit higher on the ester scale with rotten bananas/pineapples but cery yummy! Also the alcohol felt better balanced although it has the highest abv with 61.4% Great stuff if it wasn’t for the price tag… //update: confirmed my score, really great dram for the young age!"
