Eastern Tales (Constantia Restaurant Bordeaux)

It's really tasty, the best of the weekend, at the end of the weekend. Great, funky Jamaican. We have lots of esters and solvents. Plus, of course, tropical fruit, especially pineapple and (fermented) banana.

Nose: Jamaican funk I think I recognize, glue, esters, sour but not like yesterday with the Hampden, but softer and muted. Palate: again Jamaica and also Hampden and again subdued. Maybe a blend or a low mark like OWH, LFCH or LROK. Alcohol around 60% or just over. Finish: here I'm back to Hampden with brine, green olives and a certain dryness. I like it very much. After some time in the glass, I'm sure it's a Hampden. OWH is ruled out, the rum is too intense for that, leaving LFCH and LROK. I'm guessing a young LROK from 2018. Resolution: ha, off the mark! At least I recognized the alcohol content well 🤪

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.

8,7:On the nose, the first impression we get are a cookie dough and pastry, immediately turning to intense,funky notes with esters and varnish, later glue and tropical fruits like banana and pineapple, roasted wood notes with caramel, spicy vanilla. On aeration, the molasses is vegetal, grassy, the fruits citrusy, slightly sour and the wood spicier. 8,7:On the palate, the attack is funky with esters, varnish, overripe tropical fruits like banana and pineapple, when well aired with mango and red fruits, slightly astringent, the wood is roasted with cream toffee, marzipan, spicy, salty, as the molasses is sweet with honey, flowery and vegetal. 8,8:The finish is really balanced, delicious, dry, sweet with roasted wood notes, slightly smoky, with pastry, nuts, perhaps yeast and tons of tropical fruits, pairing vegetal molasses with olive.

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!

Crazy mixture. The nose is dominated by solvents and varnish. After a while, fruit joins in. On the palate, you experience a taste explosion of tropical fruits such as banana, pineapple and mango. The finish is still fruity, but difficult to pinpoint. Just the right ABV for my taste, which is perfectly integrated. Conclusion: a whole bottle would have been worth it. Now I still have half a sample Update: my own bottle has arrived. A terrific rum for me

Wow, ich bin echt begeistert! High Ester und Pfirsich treffen auf Keksteig. Richtig gut!

In der Nase dominieren Lösungsmittel, bzw. Lack. Nach einer Weile kommen Früchte dazu. Im Gaumen eine Mischung aus tropischen Früchten, wie Banane, Ananas und Mango. Im Abgang immer noch fruchtig, aber schwer zu bestimmen. ABV,könnte besser eingebunden sein.

Un New Yarmouth très funky. Des fruits mûrs, des solvants. Un cote métallique étonnant. La bouche est vive et épicée. In y retrouve les marqueurs du nez. Belle longueur. Du bois jeune en finale. Un jamaïcain sympa.

Hmm, interessante Lack oder Dreck Note in diesem Jamaikaner. Irgendwie wird die Note aber immer bitterer. Wenn er runder wäre, ein schöner junger NY. So ist es irgendwie ein teures Experiment.

Die Nase ist sehr verschlossen, es lassen sich die typischen high Ester Marker erkennen, dazu aber auch florale/seifige Aromen, Cola!? und Gewürze. Aber alles sehr verhalten. Am Gaumen überraschend wässrig und flach. Bin etwas enttäuscht. Im Crosstasting mit einigen HD <>H '13 + '14 definitiv im unteren Bereich.

For fans of High Esters rums, this version is clearly a very fine success... borderline easy-drinkable, this New Yarmouth is very gourmand and pleasant. Even if it won't be the daily dram par excellence, the flavor profile is still quite marked 🙂

Ester, viele Fruchtnoten, Vanille, Keksteig und Marzipan. Bringt relativ viel Süße mit. Finde die Abfüllung von Swell jetzt nicht signifikant schlechter als den Großteil der anderen Abfüllung von NY 2009. Direktvergleich aber leider nicht möglich.
