Corman Collins New Yarmouth Rum New Yarmouth (The Auld Alliance) 1994 27yr 67,1%

"Another 94 New Yarmouth that I have now tasted. From memory, compared to the Insane 94 tasting, I would put this one in the good midfield. More on the creamy, chocolatey side. Nevertheless, the 94 NYs are all at a high level"

"A fine representative of New Yarmouth 94, with very well-integrated alcohol and complex aromas. We want more! The nose is fruity, with an elegant woodiness slightly covered by acetone. It's very gourmand, with hints of almond cake. The alcohol is perfectly integrated on the palate, with brown sugar and tropical fruit. The finish is long, still with almond cake and light oak. The empty glass is splendid, with complex, homogeneous aromas. The best of this rum."

"A lovely old jamaican that is well worth searching out and trying. well integrated, I would not have guessed that it was 67.1%! Cool bottle label as well. I'm getting some acetone notes along with caramel and fruits. Woody with a long finish"

"Great New Yarmouth, more on the sweet side."

"Tolle, nussige Nase mit Kokos, Eiche, Vanille, Karamell, Toffee, Mandel und auch etwas Erdnussbutter. Am Gaumen mehr Holz und viel Gewürze / Würzigkeit im Mix … auch dunklere Schokolade. Ebenso im Vergleich eher alkoholisch."

"Brings everything I expect from a 94 New Yarmouth. Dark chocolate, dried medjoul dates, overripe bananas and toffee, coconut chips and great oak notes. Very round, very mild, smooth and almost drinkable despite 67%!"

"A bit rough on the palate, which I would attribute to the high alcohol content on the one hand, and somewhat more extreme, tart spiciness on the other. Much pleasing, but in direct comparison no longer on par with the absolute top representatives of the vintage."

"Lovely complex rum. Whilst hot, the alcohol is well integrated and it is very smooth. The nose varies from pineapple to caramel to sandle wood to ginger. On the palate it more spice, nutty and coriander flavours. The finish is long and sweet and introduces a chocolate note."

"Light acetone old noble wood brown sugar astonishing attack : it tightens the mucous membranes without burning and it develops on power and brown sugar !"
