"Balanced and nice. Artificial orange on the palate," is how one taster nailed it. This 27-year New Yarmouth leans into the classic 1994 profile — coconut, vanilla and toffee — with darker leather, tobacco and roasted notes underneath. A few reviewers found it a touch spice-heavy and, at 60.1%, it turns hot and drying fast. Powdery, almost Scotch-like funk sets it apart.
The community says- Coconut and toffee
- Good ABV integration
- Keep in mind: Spice-heavy for some

How does Thompson Bros. New Yarmouth 1994 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Coconut-toffee Jamaican with Scotch-like funk Well-liked but seen as one of the softer, sweeter 1994 New Yarmouths — coconut and toffee up front, some finding it spice-heavy and a bit one-dimensional versus the top releases.

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.
Review by Thunderbird
The last in my 1994 NY series. Unfortunately, also one of the weaker! The nose is still okay, but then he loses on the palate! Too unbalanced are the flavors and do not really harmonize! He is too spice-heavy for me.

Review by Serge
Nose better than palate, but therefore relatively "fair" in price
Review by cigares
Spirits Museum Tasting 29th of March 2025. A slightly spicy nose with alcohol and solvents. But fortunately, the fruits are not far, cedar wood completes the picture. The first palate is a bit hollow as if the rum had been slightly diluted, yet the alcohol is clearly present. The finish is rather long but with a somewhat disturbing medicinal taste. A beautiful rum nevertheless, rather with an unstable balance.
Review by Jakob
The classic NY94 profile with lots of vanilla, coconut and toffee is joined here by subtle green and tart notes that remind me of tobacco and leather. Interesting addition to the New Yarmouth 1994 spectrum, but it is not enough for me for the top group of releases.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
#5541 09.08.2025 Relaxing with a few samples while my wife is at the gym 😊 Nose Medium intense, wood, light roasted, clove, light leather, light earthy, light coconut, light caramel. Palate Fresh, oily, wood, light roasted, cinnamon, faint tannins, light leather, light chocolate, light tea, light coconut, fruits. Finish Long and warm, wood, faint smoke, fruits, cinnamon, light leather, light chocolate. Empty glass Vanilla, chocolate, clove, light dried fruit. Needs to rest for a while to really open up and it's pretty nice balanced with very good ABV integration.
Review by Alexander Rasch
A nicely sweet fruity rum. Lots of coconut and toffee. Alcohol very well integrated. Very consistent profile. Really fun. Towards the end, more solvent notes come through. I like it a lot. A tasty NY1994.
Review by Mentalo
The 1994 New Yarmouth by Thompson is, for me so far, the "weakest" release of an outstanding vintage. In my eyes, simply noticeably less balanced and more one-dimensional. Relatively much sweetness and a persistent toffee note.
Review by Gyuli
A continuation of the luxurious funk. It's reminiscent of scotch with a powdery characteristic, but there are rum notes and esters. I find this a bit more appealing than the similar Foursquare Redoubtable. ---------------------------------------------- Nose. Smoky oak with plenty of charring, the foundation fragrance is like ground dried flowers. Deep sweetness of dark chocolate and tropical fruits on the base. After 30 minutes, the incense and oak die down and currants and bananas emerge. Taste. After the citrus, the spiciness quickly intensifies with time, burning the mouth and making it difficult to swirl for long. The flavor is dry, and the texture is powdery in places, which is interesting. Somewhat salty. If Foursquare is heavily bourbon-driven, this is more of a Scotch whisky characterization of one of the many funks. Finish. The cosmetic notes get stronger and stronger. There's a bit of mango hoarseness. On the palate, maple nuances and roasted nuts are fleeting, followed by bitterness with subtle tannins. The finish is spicy, only moderately present in terms of texture, and then fades quickly.
Review by Richard Krupa
Beautiful full sweet caramel aroma. In taste and aroma caramel, leather, solvents. The strength is quite noticeable and warming. One of the best samples I've had recently.
