CDI New Yarmouth Jamaica (Exclusively chosen by Bar Lamp & D. Bespoke) 2009 12yr 59,5%

"A very nice 2009 NY, again. Feels a bit more woody and herbal notes forwards than some sister casks having a limited side-by-side in the glas with Rum Aresanal and Wild Parrot. Thanks for the sample, Tobi :)"

"Very nice CDI 2009, very rare bottling. Thank you Alex Kunath for letting me try it thanks to you."

"Franconian Tasting Gang am 02.03.2024 Für mich als New Yarmouth Junkie auch wieder eine sehr gute Abfüllung vom 2009er Jahrgang. Danke an Tobi fürs bereitstellen. Aus der Erinnerung heraus finde ich, dass die Abfüllung von Perola jedoch einen Ticken besser ist. Aber das ist jammern auf hohem Niveau."

"Amazingly round, but still complex NY!"

"Tasted against the CDI for Perola (rx13284) ... both from samples. bar Lamp freshly opened bottle, Perola already a bit in the cupboard. The two are very similar and at almost the same high level. I would let the nose pass as a draw, but on the palate the Perola has the edge for me: it is somewhat warmer, fatter and fuller-bodied. The Bar Lamp is no less intense, but its character is just a little brighter. Kind of like a lamp with an adjustable color temperature ... the Perola is a little more cosy and I like that better today (yes, it could also be the weather) Many thanks to Tobi (Buddudharma / Mariano) for the sample"

"Als bekennender NY Fan bin ich hier etwas enttäuscht. Die typischen Noten sind da: tropische Früchte, Ester, die weder brachial noch sauer sind, minimal Kräuter und Holz. Das Ganze ist ziemlich rund, aber leider damit auch wenig spannend und nicht sonderlich komplex. Ein Einsteiger NY, wenn man sich den Preis und Verfügbarkeit wegdenken würde."

"I'm slowly becoming a NY fan. Today is already the second NY that tastes great to me. Can go on like this. On the nose, it could have been anything else (very floral...almost like a young Long Pond "Light" with a low ester content). The taste was then really cool. Alcohol is well integrated"
