Review by Jacques etdom
Blindly, I'd have gone for a big hampden. On the nose, it's clear we're in for something heavy. Everything's there: tropical fruit, glue, brine, esters. Everything is well balanced, with a hint of acidity and spice on the finish. Nice length, I really like it.
Review by Stijn Zino
Very well balanced rum. Alcohol is integrated very good. Nose Marzipan all over. First time tasting New Yarmouth and I think I need more of this.
Review by PRV
Ферментированные тропические фрукты (манго, ананас, кокос). Лак, краска, древесная смола. Дымный мескаль и немного соленого лайма. Вкус резкий и маслянистый. Сладкая тропическая карамель. Фанк, дым, соль, вяленные оливки. Продолжительное, фруктово-дымное послевкусие с перечной остротой.
Review by LukaŽiga
8,8:On the nose, the first impression is estery with overripe tropical fruits like pineapple, mango, some citrus, as a wood is roasted with bread notes, spicy with vanilla, a molasses brings licorice, we notice some glue... On aeration, there is delicious marzipan, yellow fruits and some coconut, a very round combination. 8,8:On the palate, the attack is fruity with overripe tropical fruits like banana, pineapple, yellow fruits that round up glue notes, the wood is roasted with caramel, nuts, cookie dough, spicy.After nice rest, notes are very balanced, delicious, there is a toasted coconut, citrus and molasses with licorice. 8,7:The finish is long, dry, still pleasant with tropical and yellow fruits, roasted, smoky wood notes, now also chocolate, nougat and esters..
Review by Filip Lojín
The taste is reminiscent of young NY from Nectar. This is not a typical NY, it's very young but very interesting flavour profile. I really like the wildness and fruitiness. I would buy the whole bottle to drink.

Comme un hampden en plus elegant

Тропічні фрукти з складними ефірами і солодкий клей з цитрусовими нотками, сіль, дерево, спеції, розчинник лаковий )
Review by Dr.Django
Very tasty New Yarmouth. A little more restrained than most of its brothers that I know. The alcohol is very well integrated, it's easy to drink away. The typical cookie dough, ester and funk aromas are dominant here.
Review by RumTaTa
Wow, sharp-edged and alcoholic nose. With more time and care, lots of nail polish, esters, trop. Fruits. I had blindly mistaken the rum for a Hampden! Palate: FIREWATER! I have to be really careful here, because the alcohol is very present. With small sips, the facets reveal themselves: funky, fruity-sweet, dry The finish then turns bitter, salty and dry, but the fruity sweetness remains. Overall, the cask is rather inconspicuous here. A very good, strong New Yarmouth. I find many parallels to Hampden. Be careful with the first sip, powerful attack. Definitely not a beginner's rum but more something for freaks 😉
Review by Thunderbird
Another 2009 NY. It is somewhat more restrained and softer, not quite as funky, but therefore easy to sip and somewhat more relaxed than the RA, for example. The alcohol is very well integrated. It contains all the important genes and is fun to drink.
Review by Serge
These 2009 New Yarmouths are never bad and this one is also very tasty - although not quite as good as the creamier and richer Perola or the two RAs, for example. But still worthwhile for all those who like NY Pot.
Review by Basti
NY High Ester blind tasting with JNY20, JNY19, JNY15, JNE16 and TWJ 2009. For me, the NY with the most cask influence in the blind tasting. As a result, a lot of woody/spicy aromas are present. Fruity notes are only subtly perceptible. Overall, not quite as "on the nose" and rounder than other 2005/2009 NYs.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
#5107 13.02.2025 Running some samples at home while relaxing on the final days of my vacation. Nose Fresh, medium intense, fruity, light wood, light glue, light citrus, ester, faint chocolate. Palate Medium intense, light wood, fruity, light glue, light berries, light citrus, ester, spice, faint caramel. Finish Long and warm, light wood, faint roasted, light citrus, balanced, faint chocolate. Empty glass Chocolate, faint floral, fruits, faint caramel, faint vanilla. Needs to rest for a good while to really open up properly.
Review by Mentalo
Kommt nicht ganz an die Qualität von CDI Perola oder The Wild Parrot heran. Die haben mehr Tiefe und eine cremigeres Mundgefühl. Trotzdem hohe 2009er NY Qualität hier. Wieder viel Keksteig, fruchtig, Esthernoten und Säure. Das passt schon.
Review by Christian Rudt
Erster NY von TWJ viel Ananas, etwas Marzipan, Säure, Vanille und Keksteig und einiges an Ester. Das ganze relativ balanciert mit ordentlicher Integration des Alkohols. Keine Überraschungen aber eine schöne Abfüllung allemal (und allzu viele NY SC gibt's ja ohnehin nicht).
