Anyone deep into New Yarmouth 1994 will recognize this one fast: less fruit bomb, more salted-caramel candy. Expect toffee, vanilla, cocoa, warm spice and a little leather, with a salty edge on the finish that several tasters loved. At 67% the alcohol is remarkably well tucked in — many barely register the strength. A few wished for more tropical fruit and more complexity for a 27-year pot still.

Review by Jakob
If you expect a classic NY profile with lots of fruit esters, you'll be surprised - there's far less fruit bomb here than extremely tasty salted caramel candy. A decidedly elegant potpourri of caramel sweetness, fine minerality, vanilla, oak and subtle cocoa bitterness. In addition, tropical fruit notes, which at no time play in the foreground, but deliver an extremely entertaining play of flavors in addition to the aforementioned protagonists. Great release and a highlight among the 1994 New Yarmouths.
Review by Oliver
Very intense yet inviting aromatics. Classic NY94 profile on the palate. Reminders of salted caramel. Pleasant spiciness on the finish. Great rum!
Review by Thunderbird
This is an excellent New Yarmouth.... Very balanced, harmonious and elegant! These salty caramel notes with the subtle spices, cocoa and barrel aromas literally pamper the palate. Oily distribution. Alcohol is well integrated. Fruit aromas are very easily perceptible
Review by Holle525
My score is Nose 91, Taste 92and the Aftertaste 92. So the overall score is 92 points. Well balanced, no off notes, no bitterness, a nice sweetness and long aftertaste. Very good complexity and body and integrated alcohol.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Cracked open 3 more of my present and starting with this one made me happy. A very nice NY. Light fruit mixed well with wood and spices and very light leather. I love the warm and oily palate. Leave to rest for a good while to release all flavours and remove the bite from the ABV.
Review by TheRhumhoe
The 1994 New Yarmouths are clearly among the finest rums, and this one is no exception. It's an experience in itself. The nose is splendid, coated with coconut, chocolate/cocoa, pastry and caramel notes, sweet spices, gourmand empyreumatic notes (toasted almond) and exotic fruits. The wood, slightly tinged with leather, is very well integrated into the whole, as complex as it is gourmand, as intense as it is elegant. The attack on the palate is both aromatic and extremely powerful. Spicy/peppery, woody and roasted flavors explode in the mouth, giving the palate extreme warmth. This is followed by tangy citrus notes (orange, lemon), pineapple and dried fruit, which, along with chocolate and caramel, round out the bestial profile. It's both incredibly round and complex, with a real balance of flavors despite the 67.1%, present but very well blended. The finish, of the infinite order, surprises with a hint of saltiness and caramelized sweetness. Woody, spicy and empyreumatic notes lead the festivities, but scents of dark chocolate, mocha, raisin and coconut add a not inconsiderable dose of gourmandise. A most extravagant rum, absolutely sensational from start to finish. Only the price is a flaw.
Review by Leo Krüper
Solid midfield of the NY94 comparison tasting. High quality at high prices.
Review by Pavel Spacek
Beautifully sweet, creamy, like caramel. Great choice for rum lovers who want to move from sweet syrups to pure distillate. New Yarmouth 1994 rarely disappoints. This is a great choice you'll always be happy to return to.
Review by Basti
Really intense on the palate with a fine sweetness and lots of spices and dried fruit, some leather. Picks me up right from the first sip. In direct comparison, I even like it a little better than the RA.

Review by Johannes
Once again an outstanding representative of the NY94!
Review by Serge
Excellent 94NY with lots of caramel and toffee with wood and spice. But in a direct comparison with the Swell Flashback (rx12161), it loses out for me.
Review by Timo Groeger
I can agree with the ratings here. Great stuff, the 67% hardly recognizable as such. More like a sweeter rum, if you can say that at 67% ;) We have chocolate, vanilla, caramel, and cocoa, all sweetness :) But tasty...
Review by Lot-NAS
Finally in my glass - telling from the label I think I should thank zabo for the split. And here we go: The nose starts off as a 94NY should. Loafs of caramel, sugar and different spices (cinnamon, pepper, hints of chest nut). In addition there is some eucalyptus (it comes and goes), warm wood, chocolate, cocoa and some raisins. Really warm, complex and balanced. Initially I found it to be a bit too strong and sharp and therefore watered it down to around 50%. On the palate you have basically everything from the nose with some extras. The caramel is now a full grown crème brûlée, the spices are a bit less present and it is sweet and warm. The finish is mostly caramel, wood, vanilla, the crème brûlée again and some coconut with orange peel. Too bad it was only a sample :)
Review by Skyfly
In direct comparison, even a notch better than the Lime House. From start to finish, caramel, vanilla, spices, barrel aromas, and dried fruits accompany you. On the palate, salty notes come in, leading to an absolutely brilliant combination. The alcohol couldn’t be better integrated.
Review by Manuel
An absolutely great New Yarmouth rum. Very intense and complex in smell. Lots of spices and fruit, which can also be found in the taste. It also has a pleasantly light sweetness. The alcohol content is very high at 67%, which you can also taste.
Review by Beach-and-Rum 🏖️🌴
Yeah, this one really has some serious steam under the hood. Not a fruit bomb, but loads of wood, spices, and caramel. The nearly 70% ABV is super well integrated. Since I prefer fruitier rums, it doesn't get top marks from me. But I'm sure many will like this Jamaican.
Review by Volkmar Weber
Elegant NY. A bit less intense, less woody than the Rum Artesanal bottling from 2020. Instead creamier, fruitier. On the finish a delicate cappuccino note with a hint of cinnamon. The alcohol is very well integrated.
Review by Martin Spooner
New Yarmouth lineup. Spicy caramel nose. Relatively unobtrusive. The taste almost a bit salty. Unobtrusive fruit. Nice round profile all in all. A very recommendable drop. Retasting... Still a bomb.
Review by Filip Šikula
Diamond RFC 2024 advent calendar. NY 94 is a favorite for many of us, I've tasted quite a few and that's why I was very pleased with a piece I'm trying for the first time. The nose is rich, full of cream, spices, vanilla. The taste is dry, balanced and wonderfully drinkable.
Review by mto75
On the nose malt, caramel, black bread, cocoa, fig. On the palate spicy-malty, toasted, salty at the back. For me, a rather atypical NY 94, but with pretty crazy notes, I really like it!
Review by Tom Buteneers
I prefer this one over the 1994 Blackadder NYE. Very intense and seductive in the nose, you just want to keep on sniffing 😅fruity salty vanilla. I like it a lot.
Review by Mentalo
KD clearly woodier than my reference from RA. Clearly more bitter. Overall somewhat less balanced. The Swell surprisingly reveals new facets. Clearly less wood than the KD. Instead milk chocolate, hazelnut/nougat and unfortunately also smoky/peaty. The two bottlings from Distilia come closest to my reference from Rum Artesanal. 1994 New Yarmouth simply has outstanding quality.
Review by Piotr Ignasiak
Definately one of the strong ones from the NY94 bunch. Balanced despite the strength, no off notes i could find. Added a bit off water but it lost the aromatic punch then.
Review by Piddusan
Very intense, rich of notee, fruity firts with orange marmelade, candied citrus skin, iodine, spicy
Review by Jarek
1994 New Yarmouth Cross Tasting - Teil 1: Trotz des hohen ABV von über 67% Prozent kommt er sehr angenehm rüber. Sehr rund und ausgewogen, und bisher mein Favorit des Tages, auch wenn er noch etwas fruchtiger sein könnte.
Review by Mopar Rules
my number one Pirate!
Review by CaRaph
This salty taste is unusual, I like it a lot along with the spicy side. Very good rum !
Review by Stijn Zino
Strong palate really brings out the NY profile and a long finish. A powerhouse with lots of tropical fruit and wood but could be more complex fir this pricetag imo.
Review by Richard Krupa
Lightly fruity, coconut on the nose, caramel on the palate and a fairly long finish.
Review by Pavel Ungr, RumRock
Vintage 1994. With 8.9 out of 10, it belongs to the better ones that I've had in my glass.
