CDI New Yarmouth Jamaica (Bottled for Perola)

"Liquid heavily baked chunky banana-salty caramel-chocolate-pineapple cookies! In my opinion, the almost 3 extra years in the barrel have done the rum a lot of good. The alcohol is almost perfectly integrated. Significantly smoother and more palatable than the two predecessors from RA and in my opinion also the more intense typical cookie dough note, plus baking spices, lots of pineapple and banana bread and minimal citrus notes (abrasion) as well as light roasted aromas like from cookies that have been in the oven a little too long. Wood is clearly more intense, but not too much at any point. Probably one of the best CDI has released in a long time! And the Mai Tai also clearly tops the two RAs because the additional wood simply brings more harmony here. Simply delicious!😅👌🏼"

"Really good stuff !!! PLV fits her a lot better than the Wild Parrot...Incredibly well integrated alcohol fruit and wood messengers well balanced ... burnt biscuit dough (cake) ... beautiful esternoten Am thrilled."

"Excellent New Yarmouth in the "funky" style of its CDI predecessors with a little more barrel influence. Makes real fun!"

"Ein wunderbarer cremiger und zugleich adstringenter funky Jamaica Rum von New Yarmouth. Am Gaumen viel Marzipan und Backgewürz. Herrlicher langer Abgang. Wehr geil! Funky Jamaica mal anders. New Yarmouth ist spätestens mit dieser Abfüllung kein Geheimtipp mehr."

"Finally, New Yarmouth 2009 again. A great release and a great barrel selection from Perola. The profile is a bit woodier and more mature than one knows from the two RA (First & Second Edition), yet the New Yarmouth DNA is absolutely there. Personally, I see it very slightly behind the Wild Parrot New Yarmouth 2009 (RX13281) but if you compare the price of the two bottles (WP 240€ vs. CDI 150€) then I have to factor that into my rating and both land at an excellent 88 and thus also at exactly the value I gave the RA NYE First Edition. Chapeau for this release and every New Yarmouth fan must own and open this bottle. Tonight it goes directly off with the device in the Mai Tai. Update: For me one of the hottest releases in 2022 Update 2: Tasted again against CDI NY 2009 Sweden 🇸🇪 & CDI NY 2009 Denmark 🇩🇰. For me clearly the strongest"

"A NY of the upper class; and the whole thing is pretty funky! It's really fun 🤩 Lots of esters, glue, cookie dough, marzipan and fruit on the palate. These aromas carry through from the nose to the finish. Light aromas of roasted wood also develop on the palate. All of this together is very intense"

"Funky nose. Cookie dough and fruits par excellence on the palate. Nice stuff!"

"Among the mass of CDI once again one with class. A great NY.Nose: wonderfully powerful with a neat package of esters and fine, intense marzipan. Pattex glue and discreet vinegar are not missing either. There's also fresh lime, ripe, tart pineapple and ripe banana. Behind that, a slight sweetness of sugar syrup and something like brioche or cookie dough. Could smell it forever.Palate: already clearly astringent at the beginning with a short bitter note. But then the esters follow right through and the pineapple with lime zest come through. Behind that it becomes a bit calmer, doughier... Brioche and fruit bread with candied orange peel, plus some anise or licorice. The finish also brings back the marzipan with some green tea.Great nose, nice flavor curve on the palate, not too demanding. 👍"

"Retasting to compare with the 13yo CDI NY. Both need some time to settle down after which this one has the richer, more complex body while the nose of the 13yo wins. Still great NY with a lot of fruits, funkiness & cookie dough that feels much older once the spirit has settled. //update: rated up a bit in comparison to other young NY, great value/money and solid profile //update: great, confirm my rating"

"This is a very lovely bottle for all High Ester lovers. Blindly could this be a strange Hampden too. Awesome nose with a mix of funk, esters, fruits and baking spices. All those smells are also reflected in the mouth. The alcohol is integrated very well. The finish is delicious with a lot of grilles pineapple and long."

"Der Bauerngaumen sagt: Das mag ein objektiv sehr guter Rum sein, aber nee, der ist irgendwie nicht meins, ich werde mit dem nicht warm, vor allem wegen des merkwürdigen Geruchs, einer Mischung aus Marzipan und Babykotze. 🙄 Hinzu kommt, dass ich ihn gegen den NY 1994 von V&M (RX10419) verkostet habe, da kann er natürlich nur verlieren. Ich werde dem Rum bei Gelegenheit eine zweite Chance geben, dann nicht im Crosstasting."

"Somehow I have a weakness for New Yarmouth, especially with strong cookie dough notes, but unfortunately there are far too rare! Here we have once again a great bottling, which for me also stands out from the broad mass of CDI. The RA NY First is one of my favorite rums, even if it comes a bit beastly. The CDI comes quite close to the whole, but shows itself woodier, rounder and thus more moderate. Currently I see him therefore behind the RA, but that probably depends very much on the form of the day. Class rum that delivers the New Yarmouth profile, but is also not too demanding. Delicious esters, plus the NY cookie dough, which should be even a bit more present for me though. Nevertheless, class and tasty, tasty, tasty!"

"Intensive Jamaika Nase. Typische Estersäure für jüngere Jamaicarums, gut eingebundene Süsse, gibt ihm eine schöne Balance. Trockener aber frischer Abgang. Gute Alkoholintegration. Liebhaber des Profils kommen voll auf ihre Kosten."

"In der Nase kommt er nicht zu stürmisch herüber wie die RA New Yarmouth, man merkt das dieser länger im Fass war. Aber trotzdem, funky, funky, funky - Zitrusfrüchte, Marzipan, Keksteig und jede Menge Ester! Nach kurzer Zeit bereits wirklich zugänglich und bereit für den Gaumen! Hier geht es weiter - deutlich höhere Adstringenz, finde man schmeckt das Bourbonfass, allerdings angenehm und der Alkohol ist wirklich toll eingebunden. Junges Holz und die vorgenannten Noten in der Nase sind ebenfalls am Gaumen präsent. Wirklich toll - klasse Abfüllung von CDI, lange ist es her. Für mich auf einem Level mit der 1st Edition von RA NY. Der CDI ist erwachsener und nicht mehr ganz so wild."

"Un nez très (trop?) classique pour un NY surtout sur les fruits. Le vernis est là pour soutenir les fruits. Presque pas de bois en bouche, toute l’expression est sur les fruits. L’évolution en bouche est exemplaire. Du bois arrive en finale et avec classe. Elle est très longue et toujours sur les fruits. Un rhum parfait pour les Maï Thaïs selon Artur."
