Thompson Bros. New Yarmouth Jamaican Rum 1994
People already deep into 1994 New Yarmouth will feel at home here: dominant coconut, dark caramel, chocolate and roasty espresso notes over a spicy, tannic base at 59.1%. Several tasters call it one of the "etwas schwächeren" of that vintage — a touch simpler and less balanced than its siblings — but still a very likeable, rounded pour with dried fruit and a long dry finish.
The community says- Dominant coconut
- Dark chocolate, roast
- But: Less complex

The look inside the bottle
How does Thompson Bros. New Yarmouth Jamaican Rum 1994 taste?
Aggregated from 60 community reviews.
Coconut-heavy, roasty older Jamaican sipper Well liked but rarely a favorite. Fans enjoy the coconut, chocolate and roast, though many find it simpler and less complex than other 1994 New Yarmouths, with a few noting slightly intrusive tannins.

Heute ein Tasting mit sieben Abfüllungen des 1994 New Yarmouth: Thompson Brothers, Royal Cane, Kill Devil, Rum Sponge, Ron Artesanal, FRC Bottles Shop und Maolt, Grain & Cane. Der Thompson Brothers ist einer der fruchtigeren NY mit einer schönen Johannisbeeren-Note, aber irgendwie recht einfach. Guter Rum, aber bei dem heutigen Line-Up das Schlusslicht.

Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Very dark, very roasty, much less fruity and less sweet as the SBS in comparison. Has what of dark chocolate with espresso bean splitter and sea salt! In terms of complexity he could put a little more on the bank but overall still very tasty!
Review by Oliver
In the blind tasting, I would have guessed Foursquare. However, somewhat darker and toastier with little fruitiness. On the palate creamy, spicy and relatively dry. Beautiful bottling for a top rating but complexity on the palate is missing.
Review by Martin Spooner
New Yarmouth lineup. Schöne Kokosnuss Nase mit ordentlich vollreifen Früchten. Dazu gesellt sich im Geschmack noch Schokolade. Aber die Kokosnuss ist schon dominant. Sehr schöner runder new Yarmouth. Wirklich toll.
Review by Manuel
Ein wirklich hervorragender New Yarmouth. Schon beim Einschenken sehr intensive Düfte nach Gebäck, tropischen Früchten und Gewürzen. Sehr langer Abgang. Für mich sind die Tannine etwas störend sonst aber genial.
Review by Lot-NAS
I am kind of disappointed, it feels unbalanced and like a mixture made from everything what NY can be but without any aspect really standing out.

Today we have a 4 flight New Yarmouth 1994, one of my favorite profiles, Appleton 21yr goes SVW.
Review by Thunderbird
Ein angenehmer, runder und guter, aber nicht überragender Vertreter von NY!
