How does this rum taste?
Eastern Tales (Constantia Restaurant Bordeaux) is a limited edition Jamaican rum from the New Yarmouth distillery, expertly bottled by Swell de Spirits. Distilled from molasses in 2009 and aged 14 years, this cask strength spirit (61.2% ABV) unfolds a fascinating journey. Our RumX community highlights its bold tropical fruit aromas, pronounced banana and ester notes, with a hint of solvents and varnish that evolve over time. While some find its high alcohol presence a bit challenging at first, many appreciate the evolving complexity and funky character that develops in the glass. A truly distinctive spirit, it appeals to collectors and adventurous rum enthusiasts alike.

Limited edition of a 2009 New Yarmouth. The nose is initially strikingly strong, full of solvent, varnish and esters. Only after some time (approx. 30 minutes) in the glass do tropical fruit, vanilla and some pastry aromas increasingly develop. This fits and is promising. On the palate, first esters, tropical fruit, vanilla and pastry. Then sweetness, young wood and, with increasing length, a kind of bitterness join in. This also accompanies the finish quite dominantly. This costs some points, as it is a clear off-note for me. Too bad, because the first impression promised much more
I was quite excited about this bottling. 2009 New Yarmouths are already delicious. But this one definitely didn't really pick me up. At first it's really just solvents and glue on the nose. Very alcoholic on the palate at first. The typical cookie dough notes come out faintly after a long time. Put half the bottle in the back of the cupboard and see what happens in a few weeks.
Delicious New Yarmouth 2009 . Nose ... Solvent, ester, Anna's banana and some baking spice. It has something bacony in the nose 😲 Alcohol barely noticeable. Palate... Alcohol more present. Fruity funky ... Typical notes such as annas, mango banana and marzipan, butyric acid. Woodiness very low and negligible, therefore hardly any bitter notes. Not bad but nothing really new or different from all the others.
Einer dieser Jamaikaner, aufgrund derer man sich in der Langeweile verliert. Sicherlich solide, -die typischen Aromen, aber nichts was einen aus dem Sulki schmeißt. Im Ansatz sogar wässrig. Eher eine schwächere Abfüllung. Der nächste bitte!
