    "Comparatively bitter New Yarmouth 1994, which shows the typical sweetness DNA, but in addition already shows clear aging characteristics. The barrel has worked and, in addition to the obligatory vanilla, toffee and coconut notes, also bitter wood influences and tart leather notes flow in. However, all this remains within absolutely tolerable limits; in fact, I don't dislike these rough edges, the quaffable sweetness gets a clear counterpoint. Beautiful selection."

    "A nose of sweetness, caramel, dried fruit and lots of tropical fruit. Slightly bitter and acidic on the palate, but elegantly fruity. The finish develops a fairly strong astringency and noble bitterness. This rum has a marked but far from interesting wood history. The empty glass is reminiscent of an old church, with varnished wood, light smoke and incense."

    "Ein kleines Cross-Tasting mit den beiden Fine Drams und dem FRC Village. Alle drei benötigen zunächst viel Zeit im Glas, bis sie sich öffnen. Alle drei sind sehr gute 94er NY, stoßen aber nicht in die Spitze hinein. Benchmark bleibt für mich hier der RA! Der Fine Dram mit 68,5% ist hier der Gewinner. Trotz des hohen Alkoholgehaltes kommt er sehr angenehm cremig daher. Die Nase ist recht verhalten, aber am Gaumen zeigt er sein Potenzial, da dominiert er (auch wenn das Fass deutlich spürbar ist). Für mich am heutigen Abend der stimmigste NY. Als zweites folgt der FRC. Die Süße des Sheery-Finishs ist deutlich wahrnehmbar, aber passt noch so eben. Der Dritte ist der Fine Dram mit 68%. Er ist sehr brachial und nicht ganz so ausgewogen. Zusammengefasst sind es durchwegs sehr gute Abfüllungen"
