CDI New Yarmouth Jamaica (Bottled for Perola) 2009

Open in the app

Cookie dough, ripe pineapple and banana, with the glue-and-marzipan funk you expect from New Yarmouth. The extra years in the barrel round it off — several tasters call it geschmeidiger, smoother and woodier than the RA editions, with the 60% alcohol tucked in surprisingly well. A funky Jamaican that's intense but not exhausting, and a favorite in Mai Tais too.

The community says
  • Cookie dough & ester
  • Well-integrated alcohol

Funky, cookie-dough New Yarmouth at cask strength Loved by New Yarmouth fans as a rounder, oakier take on the profile with well-integrated alcohol. A couple find the marzipan-sour note odd or the finish a touch short.

9.0/10

Hinweis: Tätigkeit bei Perola GmbH (Spirituosenbranche), teilweise berufliche Involvierung bei bewerteten Abfüllungen. Alle Bewertungen sind meine persönliche, unbezahlte Meinung. Flüssige stark gebackene chunky Bananen-Salzkaramell-Schoko-Ananas Cookies! Die knapp 3 Jahre mehr im Fass haben dem Rum meiner Meinung nach sehr gut getan. Alkohol ist fast schon perfekt integriert. Deutlich geschmeidiger und süffiger wie die beiden Vorgänger von RA und die meiner Meinung nach auch intensivere typische keksteig note, dazu Backgewürze, viel Ananas und Bananenbrot und minimal zitrusnoten (Abrieb) sowie leichte röstaromen wie von Cookies die etwas zu lang im Ofen waren. Holz ist klar deutlich intensiver wahrzunehmen aber an keiner Stelle zu viel. Wohl mit das Beste was CDI seit langem rausgebracht hat! Und auch im Mai Tai toppt er die beiden RA's nochmal deutlich weil das Zusätzliche Holz hier einfach mehr Harmonie rein bringt. Mega lecker einfach nur!😅👌🏼

Der Bauerngaumen sagt: Das mag ein objektiv sehr guter Rum sein, aber nee, der ist irgendwie nicht meins, ich werde mit dem nicht warm, vor allem wegen des merkwürdigen Geruchs, einer Mischung aus Marzipan und Babykotze. 🙄 Hinzu kommt, dass ich ihn gegen den NY 1994 von V&M (RX10419) verkostet habe, da kann er natürlich nur verlieren. Ich werde dem Rum bei Gelegenheit eine zweite Chance geben, dann nicht im Crosstasting.

New Yarmouth 

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.

` between two key/value pairs terminates the expression and Hugo fails the whole build with `unexpected "{" in operand`.
