New Yarmouth S.B.S Jamaica (Rombo Edition) NYE/WK 2020
Tasters keep saying the same surprising thing: for a rum aged just one year, this drinks remarkably balanced. It's a true ester bomb — pineapple, mango, banana, nail-polish glue and solvent — softened by an Oloroso finish that adds cooked fruit and a touch of marzipan. The long, warm finish ends on a green-almond bitterness. Young, but the 58.7% sits well integrated.
- Intense tropical fruit
- Long warm finish
- Well-integrated ABV

Aggregated from 16 community reviews.
Fruity young ester bomb, surprisingly balanced Most are genuinely won over — a fruity, high-ester New Yarmouth that feels far more composed than its one year suggests. The catch: that almond bitterness on the finish isn't for everyone.

Review by Rene Nielsen
Nose: very fruity,pineable, mango Taste: a explosion with pineable, fruit, some glue long dry aftertaste A very nice rum well worth the price
Review by ElReyTristan
Incredibly, I'd never have thought that this rum had only aged for a month. It has a particularly intense Jamaican nose of esters, solvents, glue and banana. With that little extra gourmand touch of marzipan. On the palate, it's disconcertingly well-balanced for a rum that's only one year old. The 58.7* are well integrated, and the solvents and esters are clearly present, along with the greener, fresher, less gourmand almond. In fact, it's the latter that lingers with a "nice" bitterness, like when you've just bitten into a fresh, unripe almond. A wonderful discovery, and I'd be curious to know what this rum would have been like after another 4/5 years of ageing.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
The first thing that surprised me was how mild or relatively mild this rum is thinking about the age and ester content. It's a true ester bomb with intensity and fruity notes as well as spices. Looooooong and warm finish. Price to quality is very good in my mind.
Review by Johannes
Typical SBS style. Young high ester rum, finished in oloroso barrel always works very well. As is the case with this one.
