The Whisky Jury New Yarmouth The Many Faces of Rum NYE/HM

"Very tasty New Yarmouth. A little more restrained than most of its brothers that I know. The alcohol is very well integrated, it's easy to drink away. The typical cookie dough, ester and funk aromas are dominant here."

"8,8:On the nose, the first impression is estery with overripe tropical fruits like pineapple, mango, some citrus, as a wood is roasted with bread notes, spicy with vanilla, a molasses brings licorice, we notice some glue... On aeration, there is delicious marzipan, yellow fruits and some coconut, a very round combination. 8,8:On the palate, the attack is fruity with overripe tropical fruits like banana, pineapple, yellow fruits that round up glue notes, the wood is roasted with caramel, nuts, cookie dough, spicy.After nice rest, notes are very balanced, delicious, there is a toasted coconut, citrus and molasses with licorice. 8,7:The finish is long, dry, still pleasant with tropical and yellow fruits, roasted, smoky wood notes, now also chocolate, nougat and esters.."

"After this was spontaneously opened for a MaiTai with DomM, because a few cl were missing for a "strong MaiTai", it was tasted again pure. Conclusion: it's already very good in a MaiTai. Neat, I classify it as one of the weakest New Yarmouth 2009s, having already had a few in my glass. But that really doesn't mean that it's bad, but let's see how the open bottle develops over time."

"Wow, sharp-edged and alcoholic nose. With more time and care, lots of nail polish, esters, trop. Fruits. I had blindly mistaken the rum for a Hampden! Palate: FIREWATER! I have to be really careful here, because the alcohol is very present. With small sips, the facets reveal themselves: funky, fruity-sweet, dry The finish then turns bitter, salty and dry, but the fruity sweetness remains. Overall, the cask is rather inconspicuous here. A very good, strong New Yarmouth. I find many parallels to Hampden. Be careful with the first sip, powerful attack. Definitely not a beginner's rum but more something for freaks 😉"

"Another 2009 NY. It is somewhat more restrained and softer, not quite as funky, but therefore easy to sip and somewhat more relaxed than the RA, for example. The alcohol is very well integrated. It contains all the important genes and is fun to drink."

"These 2009 New Yarmouths are never bad and this one is also very tasty - although not quite as good as the creamier and richer Perola or the two RAs, for example. But still worthwhile for all those who like NY Pot."

"NY High Ester blind tasting with JNY20, JNY19, JNY15, JNE16 and TWJ 2009. For me, the NY with the most cask influence in the blind tasting. As a result, a lot of woody/spicy aromas are present. Fruity notes are only subtly perceptible. Overall, not quite as "on the nose" and rounder than other 2005/2009 NYs."

"#5107 13.02.2025 Running some samples at home while relaxing on the final days of my vacation. Nose Fresh, medium intense, fruity, light wood, light glue, light citrus, ester, faint chocolate. Palate Medium intense, light wood, fruity, light glue, light berries, light citrus, ester, spice, faint caramel. Finish Long and warm, light wood, faint roasted, light citrus, balanced, faint chocolate. Empty glass Chocolate, faint floral, fruits, faint caramel, faint vanilla. Needs to rest for a good while to really open up properly."

"Nose It has everything you would expect from a 2009 New Yarmouth fruitiness banana, pineapple, mango, a little marzipan, a good amount of esters, but somehow lighter and more restrained than some other bottlings of the vintage. On the palate First slightly oily... then very dry in the mouth. Fruitiness and spiciness are lost a little more in the mouth ... Alcohol is not optimally integrated. Relatively bitter and very dry finish. It cuts a solid figure in Mai Tai. The bottom line is that it can't quite keep up with the bottlings of recent times...."

"Kommt nicht ganz an die Qualität von CDI Perola oder The Wild Parrot heran. Die haben mehr Tiefe und eine cremigeres Mundgefühl. Trotzdem hohe 2009er NY Qualität hier. Wieder viel Keksteig, fruchtig, Esthernoten und Säure. Das passt schon."

"So this is the next hype bottling from TWJ, a New Yarmouth 2009. Very nice on the nose, some glue, some fruit, some acidity, very round and pleasing. On the palate there is also a nice triad of fruit, glue and acidity, all very round and pleasing, not too intense and nicely balanced. It lacks some of the creaminess of the CDI and also the depth, but it's still fun, simply a relaxed, delicious sipper. The finish is quite short. Doesn't quite live up to the hype for my taste, but still a very good bottling. I'm glad I was able to secure a bottle here, but I wouldn't necessarily need a second one."

"Erster NY von TWJ viel Ananas, etwas Marzipan, Säure, Vanille und Keksteig und einiges an Ester. Das ganze relativ balanciert mit ordentlicher Integration des Alkohols. Keine Überraschungen aber eine schöne Abfüllung allemal (und allzu viele NY SC gibt's ja ohnehin nicht)."

"Nachdem sich der ersten Schwall an Lösungsmittel- und Klebstoffnoten verzogen hat, bin ich im Geruch auf eine sehr appetitiliche Mischung aus tropischen Früchten und rohem Plätzchenteig mit Marzipan gestoßen. Diese Aromenspiel hat sich im Mund beinahe eins zu eins wiederholt, bevor es sich im Abgang zu einer deutlich röstigeren und nur noch ganz leicht fruchtigen Angelegenheit entwickelt hat, die mit sehr interessanten, an salzigen Räucherspeck erinnernden Noten, aufwarten konnte. Schönes Ding!"

"One of the weakest 2009 NYEs I've had in a glass. Not a revelation in May Tai either. Many thanks for the sample & the bottle of SaibotZtar"

"Typischer New Yarmouth, sowohl von der Nase als auch geschmacklich: Ester, sauer, tropische Früchte. Leider kann er mit den CDI Abfüllungen nicht ganz mithalten. NY Freunde kommen aber definitiv auf ihre Kosten und soviele 2009er Abfüllungen sind ja auch nicht am Markt erhältlich."
