How does this rum taste?
Intense high‑ester New Yarmouth benchmark
If you enjoy Hampden or Long Pond ester bombs and want something similarly intense but more pastry-driven, this New Yarmouth hits that spot with serious strength and complexity.
Beginners or anyone sensitive to high ABV, harshness or solventy esters; drinkers seeking soft, sweet, easygoing sippers will likely find this too intense.

How can it be that after 4 years I still don't have a review for this bottling? For me it's one of the best bottlings I've ever tasted from NY. Apart from the 94s, there was somehow nothing else that I liked so much. Powerful, almost overwhelming, but then just perfectly balanced and complex. An estery bomb, but at the same time it offers a lot more. Warm brioche, sweet mandarins, marzipan, but also a slight smokiness and a hint of cinnamon. I think I could write a lot more here, perhaps I'm exaggerating a little. But somehow this rum has done it to me! Addendum: The sister bottling is also strong, really top, but for me a touch behind this one.
Auto-translatedVerkostet gegen die 6 Monate ältere Schwesterabfüllung. Beide echte Knaller und sehr vergleichbar. Erinnert mich an der Nase an orientalische Mandel-Grieß Patisserie. Wundervoll.
Sensational Jamaican! funky and harmonious at the same time. Top!
