New Yarmouth Flensburg Rum Company New Yarmouth 1994

Edit: also very good in MaiTai in my opinion, but I'm not as experienced as some other MaiTai junkies here 😅 Finally tried it together with DomM. Had to prove myself against the Corman collins, as I didn't have any other 94 open at the time. At first I found him in midfield, but the longer he was allowed to breathe, the better I found him. Please give it at least 30 minutes, preferably a little more, and then it will be really delicious. For me, upper midfield with a connection to my personal top group.

Top rum! Reminiscent of a high-end Guyana column still rum in the blind tasting. Absolute recommendation!

Sehr dunkel und rauchig, fast schon verkohlt. Erinnert an Zigarre und Tabak, stark getoastetes Eichenfass, dunkle geröstete fast schon verbrannte Kokoschips, dazu viele Bitternoten wie von Walnuss, Bitterorangenschale und Schwarztee, im Hintergrund dann die typischen Kokos Banane Noten aber eher sehr subtil. Die Qualität und der aufgerufene Preis für einen 30y alten großteils tropisch gereiften Jamaica Rum sind allerdings nichtsdestotrotz sehr hoch!

It's so nice to taste these well-matured, high-quality bottlings. 30 years, 24 of which are tropical. These old NY have so much to offer 🤤 Nose: full, round, intense. Old and yet very fruity. There are fresh, sour fruit aromas, as well as dark, dried ones. Blackcurrant and gooseberry with yellow lemon and pineapple on the one hand and blackberry, banana and dried bitter orange on the other. Accompanied by intense cream toffee and the tart sweetness of maple syrup. A chocolatey texture is now added, which leads into a spicy, woody, roasted note. Sandalwood with vanilla and a hint of pipe tobacco. A pleasant sticky note remains present the whole time. Wonderful fragrance. 9.1 Palate: intense, full-bodied and really tasty here too. Pleasantly bitter, spicy and fruity at the beginning with old ester notes. Bitter orange with blackcurrant, pineapple and cherry at the same time, but also nutty-bacon with pecan and tonka bean. Malty, spicy and roasted with plenty of tobacco and liquorice and a little vanilla. At the end it turns into soapy camomile. Now considered straight and on its own without comparison, a top rum. 9.1

9:On the nose, three things bump into our nosetrils-candied fruits, esters and cigar smoke, slowly joined with polish, barrel impact notes with roasted wood tones like pastry, biscuits, caramelized Demerara sugar, toasted coconut, yellow fruits, citrus and spices like cinnamon. On aeration, the molasses is sweet, candied, flowery, musty, the fruits also tropical with pineapple, as roasted nuts also play a role. 9:On the palate, the attack is intense, sweet, delicious with variety of fruits like coconut, bitter orange, yellow fruits, esters, very marmelade like and roasted wood notes like butterscotch, nuts, leather, later some confectionery, spicy with cinnamon, cardamom and vanilla.After the rum is well rested, red fruits join, become candied, dryness and some black tea. 8,9:The finish is long, dry&tannic, soapy, the wood is charred with chocolate, leather, nuts, caramelized, butterscotch and the fruits are dried, citrus and tropical with coconut, as the molasses is earthy with tobacco, musty and with tea..

I quite like it ... not an outlier at the top ... but not one at the bottom either. Dark and spicy (but really not overly layered) New Yarmouth 94 profile with subtle bitter notes of nuts and citrus with wood, which complements the fruit, spiciness and caramel nicely. Sweet on the palate with well-integrated alcohol. Needs some ageing time. Definitely one of the better ones for me.

Great bottling, tastes very good to me. Very powerful, flavorful and full-bodied. Quite nutty but typical markers. But still good complexity and multi-layered flavors. This vintage is simply great fun.

I am positively surprised!

Another 94 New Yarmouth, this time from FRC. It also knows how to please. The nose is intensely spicy, with coconut and something alcoholic. On the palate, the spice also predominates here, paired with wood, coconut and quite intense. However, there is also a noticeable alcoholic sharpness, which unfortunately detracts somewhat from the overall good result. This also continues in the finish.

#5304 09.05.2025 Tasted at out local tasting with Hannes from Whisky Watcher. Nose Medium intense, naturally sweet, light floral, wood, light roasted, light mint, citrus, light caramel, light ester, faint cherry. Palate Oily, fresh, naturally sweet, light wood, light roasted, dried fruit, light berries, light caramel, faint coconut. Finish Very long and warm, light wood, fruity, light berries, light nutts, spice, faint tannins, light licorice. Needs to rest for a while to settle and really open up.

Still a little harsh on the nose due to the high ABV, but after a while it already has complex spicy, fruity and hoppy aromas. The taste continues just as grandiose with vanilla, coconut and fruit. Esters are easily recognizable. The finish is short, but just as intense with notes of nut and tobacco. Super cool rum; I'll probably have to look around for a bottle after the sample

After a month on the dry one, it must be something good :). As I was a bit impatient, I was only allowed to smell it for 2 hours 🫢. I definitely liked it straight away. Slightly spicy, but otherwise very round and intense with a pleasant sweetness. Wonderfully spicy on the palate with a nice hint of (bitter) orange. It's even a little too bitter for my taste, but that hardly detracts from it in the end.

Ein 94er New Yarmouth von FRC: In der Nase würzig und kokosbetont man könnte fast nach Barbados abbiegen, intensiv und lebendig. Am Gaumen verschmelzen kräftige Würze, Holz und Kokos – ein Profil, das meine Vorlieben perfekt widerspiegelt.

A beautiful aroma of coconut chocolate with fine candied fruit wafts from the glass. Quite sweet on the palate, again coconut paired with black tea, vanilla and red fruits. A little sharp-edged. The finish is ok. A little too sweet and not fruity enough for me, but quite tasty.

Der Alkohol ist super eingebunden. Die Süße stellt einen exzellenten Kontrast zu den starken Holz- und Gewürz-Noten dar. Edit: Vergleich mit RX 24894. Bei letzterem ist der Alkohol wesentlich besser integriert, auch das Aromenspektrum ist besser. Daher muss hier die Bewertung nach unten korrigiert werden.
