Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Liquid heavily baked chunky banana-salty caramel-chocolate-pineapple cookies! In my opinion, the almost 3 extra years in the barrel have done the rum a lot of good. The alcohol is almost perfectly integrated. Significantly smoother and more palatable than the two predecessors from RA and in my opinion also the more intense typical cookie dough note, plus baking spices, lots of pineapple and banana bread and minimal citrus notes (abrasion) as well as light roasted aromas like from cookies that have been in the oven a little too long. Wood is clearly more intense, but not too much at any point. Probably one of the best CDI has released in a long time! And the Mai Tai also clearly tops the two RAs because the additional wood simply brings more harmony here. Simply delicious!😅👌🏼
Review by Galli33
This is a very lovely bottle for all High Ester lovers. Blindly could this be a strange Hampden too. Awesome nose with a mix of funk, esters, fruits and baking spices. All those smells are also reflected in the mouth. The alcohol is integrated very well. The finish is delicious with a lot of grilles pineapple and long.

Nachdem ich persönlich auf New Yarmouth stehe, wurde ich auch hier nicht enttäuscht. Für mich wieder eine super gute gelungene Abfüllung. Er braucht ein wenig im Glas, aber nach kurzer Zeit entfaltet er seine ganze Pracht. Auch hier werde ich nochmal mit einer weiteren Flasche nachlegen. Heute nochmal gegen den RumX Kalender Tag 10 zum herausfinden versucht, ob er ähnlichkeit mit dem blind sample hat. Glaube nicht, aber ist für mich immer noch ein Hammerguter Rum
Review by Jonas
Seit längerem mal wieder im Glas gehabt. Geniales Teil!
Review by Domi Mal
In der Nase kommt er nicht zu stürmisch herüber wie die RA New Yarmouth, man merkt das dieser länger im Fass war. Aber trotzdem, funky, funky, funky - Zitrusfrüchte, Marzipan, Keksteig und jede Menge Ester! Nach kurzer Zeit bereits wirklich zugänglich und bereit für den Gaumen! Hier geht es weiter - deutlich höhere Adstringenz, finde man schmeckt das Bourbonfass, allerdings angenehm und der Alkohol ist wirklich toll eingebunden. Junges Holz und die vorgenannten Noten in der Nase sind ebenfalls am Gaumen präsent. Wirklich toll - klasse Abfüllung von CDI, lange ist es her. Für mich auf einem Level mit der 1st Edition von RA NY. Der CDI ist erwachsener und nicht mehr ganz so wild.
Review by Rene Pfeiffer
Beautiful high ester Jamaican. Smoother compared to the RA.
Review by Gregor
Schön estrig. Und viel keksteig. Leider vermisse ein wenig den Kokoston den manche Rums aus dieser destille mit sich bringen
Review by Serge
So, nun zum 4. Mal probiert und endlich auch mal an die Bewertung gedacht. Richtig cooles Release
Review by Manuel
Ein wirklich sehr schöner New Yarmout 2009, der im Gegensatz zu den 94er Jahrgängen auf der fruchtigen und leicht esterhaltigen Seite liegt. Dazu gesellen sich tolle Aromen von Keksteig und Marzipan. Ein sehr gelungener Rum.
Review by Lot-NAS
The nose needed some time in the glass in the beginning it smelt kind of sour and after a while I have identified this as a kiwi fruit. Palate and finish are really nice with just the right amount of ester, fruit and cookie dough.
Review by SaibotZtar
Really good stuff !!! PLV fits her a lot better than the Wild Parrot...Incredibly well integrated alcohol fruit and wood messengers well balanced ... burnt biscuit dough (cake) ... beautiful esternoten Am thrilled.
Review by Oliver
Excellent New Yarmouth in the "funky" style of its CDI predecessors with a little more barrel influence. Makes real fun!
Review by Dr.Django
Ein wunderbarer cremiger und zugleich adstringenter funky Jamaica Rum von New Yarmouth. Am Gaumen viel Marzipan und Backgewürz. Herrlicher langer Abgang. Wehr geil! Funky Jamaica mal anders. New Yarmouth ist spätestens mit dieser Abfüllung kein Geheimtipp mehr.
Review by Adrian Wahl
Finally, New Yarmouth 2009 again. A great release and a great barrel selection from Perola. The profile is a bit woodier and more mature than one knows from the two RA (First & Second Edition), yet the New Yarmouth DNA is absolutely there. Personally, I see it very slightly behind the Wild Parrot New Yarmouth 2009 (RX13281) but if you compare the price of the two bottles (WP 240€ vs. CDI 150€) then I have to factor that into my rating and both land at an excellent 88 and thus also at exactly the value I gave the RA NYE First Edition. Chapeau for this release and every New Yarmouth fan must own and open this bottle. Tonight it goes directly off with the device in the Mai Tai. Update: For me one of the hottest releases in 2022 Update 2: Tasted again against CDI NY 2009 Sweden 🇸🇪 & CDI NY 2009 Denmark 🇩🇰. For me clearly the strongest
