I liked it extremely well. Not quite the level of the RA NYE94, but very good. Unfortunately, priced too ambitious and therefore it has remained with a sample.

Beautifully sweet, creamy, like caramel. A great choice for rum drinkers who want to switch from sweet syrups to pure spirit. New Yarmouth 1994 rarely disappoints. This is a great choice that you will always want to come back to.

8.7/10

Next one New Yarmouth 1994. Already tasted from Samaroli & Valinch & Mallet. Nose: Already better, then Samaroli. Old sandal wood, bibliotheque, vintage leather, rancio. Spices: nutmeg, clove, vanilla & winterly spices. Dry fruits, like prunes, dates, apricots. Varnish, some mocha, resin, touch of cola & gingerbread. Palate: I'm add some water, 'cuz 67,4% abv little bit to high. Nuts ! Something between cashews, roasted almonds & pecan. Sweet burnt sugar, mocha, sandal & cedar wood, leather, custard, dark chocolate. Cinnamon, clove, nutmeg. Little bit bitter notes & rubber. Aftertaste: long, dark & bitterness. Roasted wood, coffee, rubber, varnish. Like veeeeery old bourbon. Again this spices, classic winter complect. Conclusion: well, this all a column rum, not a pot still. And we have the very long maturation. That why it's a typical overmatured style. Dominate of dark, wooden, spicy notes. It's still tasty, but not a great.

Avg Rating 8.7/10 96 Rums

New Yarmouth is Jamaican rum's best-kept secret. There are almost no photos of it, it makes Wray & Nephew White, the island's best-selling rum, and it is one of only three distilleries that can reach the highest esters. Collectors only really discovered it through aged 1994 vintages, which have become some of the most surprising rums on RumX.
