It's a very good rum, but I don't see it in the 90 range. Lots of vanilla and chocolate on the nose, as well as some coconut. On the palate, caramel and chocolate predominate, some coconut is recognizable and it is also slightly nutty.

Chocolatey and nutty as soon as you pour it. Then other typical markers such as dried fruit, vanilla, burnt sugar and cookies are added quite quickly. Coconut is also present, but not in the leading role here. A beautifully elegant bitterness with fine tannins on the palate. Very good.

the VL against the Swell Flashback. The Swell is clearly smokier on the nose and especially on the palate (which I didn't notice at all during the first tasting, or perhaps even more so with increasing oxidation). The LV, on the other hand, pushes more with caramel/chocolate (Werther's Echte). With longer standing time, I also notice something sourish in the LV in the direction of black currant-licorice. Spontaneously, I would prefer the LV to the Swell, or downgrade the Swell somewhat due to the rather pronounced smoky note.

Alcohol very well integrated. I really like the full NY94 profile!

Chocolatey and nutty and light woody notes flow out of the glass after pouring. Then other typical markers such as dried fruit, vanilla, burnt sugar and cookies are quickly added. There is also a hint of chocolate. A beautifully elegant bitterness with fine tannins on the palate.

I like the nose very much, as there are fruity aromas as well as lots of roasted aromas and spices. The palate also has everything you would expect from a 94 NY, but without being too woody. In direct comparison with the Fine Drams (68.5%), the Catawiki NY has more fruit.

A first-class 1994 New Yarmouth that delights from start to finish. Right from the start you can smell and taste nutty and chocolaty aromas. The typical aromas of dried fruit, caramel and wood are also present, as well as some coconut and bitterness on the palate.

Perfect old New Yarmouth how we love. Coconut,complex aroma, taste and finish. You will love it!

Once again a great edition of our favourite NY94. Once again the intense taste of dry tropical fruit is dominant followed by coconut. Compared to other releases, I find this sample drier and more bitter - a taste of orange peel. Beautiful Jamaica.

Full of taste filling every drop of the liquid. Perfect NY profile, I just preffer more cream and less sour in taste. ... Beautifully sweet, creamy, like caramel. A great choice for rummers who want to switch from sweet syrups to pure spirit. New Yarmouth 1994 rarely disappoints. This is a great choice that you will always want to come back to.

1994 New Yarmouth Cross Tasting - Teil 1: Hat alles was man bei einem 1994 NY sucht: Kokosnuss, Trockenfrüchte, dunkle Schokolade, süßes Karamell. Dazu gerade das richtige Maß an Holz. Gefällt mir ebenfalls sehr gut.

Wonderful 94 New Yarmouth. You have to let it rest a little in the glass, then it really comes into its own. Nutty, chocolaty, with lovely caramel and coconut notes, plus beautiful dried fruit with a subtle light bitterness, wonderful. I also find the ABV well integrated. The tannins from the wood have done a great job. The only thing that bothers me a little is the finish (whining on a high level;)). If it were a little longer and more balanced, it would be a 9, but unfortunately this costs it a few points, but it still gives off a nice potpourri of aroma and flavor, with a wonderfully warm and oily elegance.

KD deutlich holziger als meine Referenz von RA. Deutlich bitterer. Insgesamt etwas schlechter ausbalanciert Der Swell macht überraschenderweise neue Facetten auf. Deutlich weniger Holz als der KD. Dafür Milchschokolade, Haselnuss/Nougat und leider auch rauchig/torfig. Die beiden Abfüllung von Distilia kommen meiner Referenz von Rum Artesanal am nächsten. 1994 New Yarmouth hat einfach herausragende Qualität

Excellent, beautifully deep and structured
