Balanced and nice. Artificial orange on the palate.
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.

Nose better than palate, but therefore relatively "fair" in price
Review by cigares
Spirits Museum Tasting 29th of March 2025. Un nez un peu piquant avec de l’alcool et des solvants. Mais les fruits ne sont pas loin heureusement, du bois de cèdre complète le tableau. La première bouche est un peu creuse comme si le rhum avait été un petit peu dilué et pourtant l’alcool est bien présent. La finale est plutôt longue mais avec un goût médicamenteux l’un peu dérangeant. Un beau rhum malgré tout plutôt avec un équilibre instable.
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.

#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
Ein schön süßer fruchtiger Rum. Viel Kokosnuss und Toffee. Alkohol sehr gut eingebunden. Profil sehr durchgängig. Macht richtig Spaß. Zum Ende kommt mehr Lösungsmittel. Gefällt mir sehr gut. Ein leckerer NY1994.
Review by Pavel Spacek
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 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 WhiskyNotes.be
Really not bad, similar to the New Yarmouth 26 yo from the same bottler, but overshadowed by the other rums in this session. I think the mental connection to grain whisky somehow makes it less attractive for me.
Review by Richard Krupa
Nadherna plna sladka karamelova vune. V chuti i vuni karamel, kuze, rozpoustedla. Sila uz jde celkem citit a zahreje. Za posledni dobu jeden z nejlepsich vzorku co jsem mel.
