    Personally, there are a little too many spices dominant here, such as nutmeg and ginger, as well as fermented kiwi and roasted almonds. very tasty overall, but the 12er new Yarmouth is clearly a bit ahead! But for drinks like Corn'n'Oil it's absolutely great!

    Powerful New Yarmouth with a pronounced ester profile. Glue, tropical fruits and spices dominate the nose, with pineapple, banana and a subtle bitterness on the palate. The aromas are multi-layered and harmoniously integrated, giving the rum depth and character. A successful bottling that convincingly presents the profile of New Yarmouth.

    Fantastic New Yarmouth. Very fruity and also vegetal. In addition, spicy-herbal and in the taste also biscuit-sweetish. Makes really fun!
