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

Here are me personally a little too much spices dominant as nutmeg and ginger, as well as fermented kiwi and roasted almonds to it. overall very very tasty but the 12s new Yarmouth has clearly something in front!

Certainly a good NY...but: in the nose I miss the fruitiness. Ester and glue dominate too much!On the palate initially esters, a pleasant sweetness and then the change to the spices with vanilla, allspice and ginger! Later transitioning to young wood! The alcohol quite well integrated!The finish is relatively short and is dominated by the spices allspice and licorice!For me it is not so coherent in relation to the other NY known to me

Il réunit tous les critères d'un bon NY, mais diluer... dommage

Awesome stuff. Very similar to RX4089, but a year older. The dilution would not have had to be. There was more in it and the Danish bottlings show what was possible.

Well done this little Jamaican. Maybe a little too spicy for my taste, but it goes really well.

NY a un nouveau fan. J’aime beaucoup ce type de profil gourmand et pâtissier. Malgré la réduction il a du caractère et un certain punch. Après aération 1h ou 2 il devient très doux et rond et encore plus fruité. Validé.

Hab ihn 2019 auf der Hanse Spirit bei Perola ergattert, war für mich lange der Inbegriff eines Jamaica Rum und wäre es vielleicht auch heute aber die Flasche ist leider schon lange leer ;) (Daher auch leider keine Tasting Details sondern eine emotionale Bewertung aus der Erinnerung)
