    How does this rum taste?

    The Special Bottling France Edition is a unique release from Jamaica's New Yarmouth distillery, selected by Valinch & Mallet and aged for 27 years. Distilled in 1994, it offers a distinctive profile with caramel, tropical fruit, and coconut notes enhanced by peat. While praised for its full-bodied complexity, the rum’s peaty whisky finish has sparked mixed reactions among enthusiasts. Many appreciate its uniqueness, but some feel it overshadows the traditional New Yarmouth 1994 character. With an alcohol content of 56.8% and limited to just 84 bottles, this cask-strength rum stands out as a collector's item, offering a complex tasting journey for those who enjoy a bold whisky-infused twist in their rum.

    Ach Mönsch ... Soo verlockend an der Nase! Irgendwie speziell, irgendwie bekannt. Ich musste an einen alten Cognac denken. Aber dann das ... 🙄 Zu Anfang noch überraschend elegant und würzig-tief, verändert der Rum dann relativ schnell seinen Charakter: Das Finish hat ganze Arbeit geleistet und aus dem Rum wird in meiner Wahrnehmung ein (peated) Whisky. Und Whisky mag ich ja nun gar nicht ... Oh Mann, was für manche vielleicht einen irren Twist darstellt, ist für mich ein Absturz ... Nur die geile Nase rettet den Rum auf 70 Punkte. Tipp, wenn man nicht auf Whisky steht: Anders als üblicherweise diesen Rum nicht lange atmen lassen.

    Too much toasted for my taste, this rum is dominated by the whisky cask with peat, coffee and leather notes, both nosing and drinking. Great complexity percieved but not my piece of cake when sipping even if I have to recognise the rum is a great rum. Being the evaluation subjective, my mark is pretty low despite the quality of the rum, only due to the barrel.

    Tja. Tolles Ausgangsprodukt mit dem NY94. Und dann dieses Whiskyfinish... Also der CDI Caroni neulich war deutlich räudiger mit dem Islay Finish. Dieses Finish hier klappt in gewissen Maße. Am Gaumen finde ich ihn wirklich gut. Aber der Abgang... Nein, so sollte kein hochklassiger Rum schmecken. Eine unangenehme Schärfe, die man bei jedem anderen Rum ohne Finish als Fehlnote einordnen würde. Insgesamt gebe ich ihm eine 70, weil das Zeug schon sehr hochwertig ist. Lecker würde ich dazu aber nicht sagen.
