This bottling balances classic NY esters and rich overripe fruit with just enough sweetness and soft pastry. A mild, creamy approach sets it apart—one to try if you enjoy lush tropical rums without harshness.

    How does this rum taste?

    RumX tasters find this 19-year New Yarmouth surprisingly approachable for its strength, led by ripe tropical fruits, classic Jamaica ester punch, and a noticeable creamy sweetness. Salty and bitter pastry notes emerge alongside those esters, with touches of honey, roasted coconut, and marzipan. Fruitiness stands out—“schöne cremig und harmonisch” (@Tschusikowsky), yet it isn’t the wildest or most intense NY. A few spot the finish as dry with slight vinegar and tannic twist, but the majority call the alcohol “superbement intégré” (@Vincent D). The result: Nutty, funky, pastry, with fruit in the lead.

    I have two exciting rums in my glass today: this one and, for comparison, RX8199, better known as Vidya the River Mumma. There is hardly any difference in color, the Vagabond is perhaps a touch darker. Nose: very similar to the River Mumma but more subtle and much less intense. Also more emphasis on fruit and less glue and nail polish. The dilution is noticeable in direct comparison and therefore the Vagabond is not as funky. Palate: fruit, esters, olives,... River Mumma with the handbrake on. This is not meant to be derogatory and mainly relates to the alcohol and funk. A bitter note and a dry/salty mouthfeel are noticeable. I also find the bitter/salty note in the River Mumma - but more intense. Finish: the bitter/dry note disappears and gives way to sweet, ripe tropical fruit, which lingers for a very long time. Excellent New Yarmouth, full broadside Jamaica, more accessible, more drinkable and less edgy than RX8199. The dilution is noticeable in direct comparison but the profile is very similar. I particularly like the fact that the fruit is more in the foreground. I rated the River Mumma 9.1, this one is no worse and no better, it just has a different effect because of the dilution, also 9.1

    Gefällt mir sehr gut. Sehr harmonisch. Schönes Wechselspiel zwischen salzig und süß. Ein bisschen wie Salzzitronenkekse mit tropischem Fruchttopping. Alkohol sehr gut integriert, die 56% merkt man gar nicht. Jetzt überlege ich, ob ich nicht doch eine Flasche holen soll.

    Description issue de mon blog : Nez : à peine le sample ouvert, toute la pièce change d’odeur. C’est vraiment dingue ce qu’on peut faire en Jamaïque ! Je suis bluffé à chaque fois, j’espère que cette magie ne s’arrêtera pas de sitôt. 700 gr/hlAA d’esters qui se font sentir, bien sur, mais aussi des fruits bien pourris, une compôtée de mangue, des notes presque mielleuses qui me font penser à du propolis. Derrière, de légères notes camphrées, ou alors ça bien des fruits très mûrs. Les attentes après un tel nez sont assez hautes, espérons que ça continue ! Bouche : superbe, ample, chaleureuse. La papaye domine, les esters se fondent un peu dans le décor… car un côté miel, caramel, cacahuète, sirop d’érable (surement le finish) bien gras amènent un côté pâtissier, viennent les dompter. Finale : quasi infinie, tout est là pour passer un grand moment. Les fruits, les notes gourmandes d’érable, peut être un peu de noix fraiches ou d’amandes… 19 ans de vieillissement au calme qui ont fait maturer un très bon jus, ça valait le coup d’attendre !

    Im Vergleich zu anderen NY sehr hell, aber aus dem Glas strömt gleich jamaica funk raus. Ester, gelbe früchte und eine leichte honignote. Geschmsck ist sehr mild und zugänglich. Nach paar Sekunden kommt dann die angenehme süße zurück. Abgang ist top, sehr süffig. Bin überrascht wie gut er schmeckt.
