La Maison & Velier New Yarmouth Rum of the World Jamaica (Warehouse #1 Exclusive) 2018

Most tasters land in the low-to-mid 7s and call it decent-but-quiet: you get pineapple, banana and coconut with a little ester, but several say it feels thin next to the big 60%+ New Yarmouths. One member described the nose as glue-and-apple strudel; another felt the Jamaican character had been "wrung out." Pleasant, spiced, long on the tongue, just not intense.

The community says
  • Tropical fruit
  • Long finish
  • But: Thin body

7.3/10

Ve vůni neurčitej náznak ovoce, možná nejak technicky zastřený jahody. V puse poštipkává na jazyku, a nechá v puse dlouhou vzpomínku, ve které sice vím, že jsem pil jamajku, ale zárověn mám pocit, že ji někdo fest vyždímal. Na mě je to po jamajsku málo intenzivní, a slabé. Na druhou stranu, za tu cenu je to víc než odpovídajíci.

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`. Put notes here. `headerDeliveryCountry` feeds the aria-label of the destination picker under the express row (commerce/express-destination.js). The strip's visible text is rendered by Hugo itself in rx/price_block.html — nothing else needs seeding. */ -}}
