New Yarmouth RA Jamaica Rum 2009
Most love its wild New Yarmouth funk, marzipan-cookie sweetness and strong price–performance. Critics mention bitterness, astringency and a demanding nose. Consensus: a top-tier, intense Jamaican ester monster.
Fans of high-ester Jamaican funk who enjoy cask strength rum, love glue-and-banana New Yarmouth profiles, and want an intense, salty-fruity sipper with marzipan and cookie dough notes.

How does this rum taste?
High-power New Yarmouth esterbomb
If you already enjoy Hampden or other funky Jamaicans and want to push further, this New Yarmouth gives you more esters, salinity and marzipan sweetness at serious cask strength.
Beginners, those sensitive to high ABV or bitterness, and drinkers expecting soft, sweet 40% rum rather than a sharp, solventy esterbomb.

Very nice bottling out of the New Yarmouth 2009 range with high intensity on the nose and palate. Classic cookie dough notes with sweetness and some fruits. For me actually even a bit better than the RA single cask bottling.
Some people are already familiar with the 2009 vintage of New Yarmouth. For my part, I like these bottlings. In direct comparison to the 2009 New Yarmouth from TWJ, this RA is much wilder, has more funk and a much longer finish. I like it a little more. Second tasting (+4 points)
super brilliant part, mMn better than the first JNY of RA. Alcohol is clearly better incorporated and taste it has become much more complex and milder, flavors of nuts, cookie dough
#4 RumXHighE(a)ster weeks: Blind tasting: C<>H 20 years of aging 55-60% high ester First taste, reminds me immediately of a C<>H Result: Lovely fruity, esterbomb. The alcohol is integrated very well. Still not on the level of 94‘
