Cookie dough, marzipan and glue lead here, with pineapple and banana behind — classic New Yarmouth ester funk pushed by a virgin oak cask that adds young wood, spice and a bit of grippy tannin. At 62.6% it drinks hot and wild neat; most tasters found it tames beautifully in a Mai Tai. Reads dry and intense, older than its four years.
The community says- Ester-marzipan funk
- Virgin oak depth
- Keep in mind: Hot, alcoholic neat

How does New Yarmouth Rumclub Private Selection Ed. 49 2020 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Wild, funky New Yarmouth, great in a Mai Tai Loved for its funky ester-and-marzipan New Yarmouth character and surprising virgin-oak maturity. The recurring catch: young, wild and noticeably alcoholic neat, so many reach for the Mai Tai.

26.07.2025 Retasting and I still like it a lot. -------------- #5086 Saturday 24.01.2025 - 26.01.2025 A nice weekend in my sisters summerhouse with old friends and colleagues tasting a lot of rums. I can only recommend like we did, no phones allowed and then only music in the background 😊 Colour Dark to very dark in colour. Nose Wood, ester, fruity, overripe, light polish, banana, light pineapple, spice. Palate Wood, medium dry, warm, ester, fruity, overripe, banana, light citrus, faint chocolate, faint floral. Finish Long and warm, fruity, wood, banana, light glue, light citrus. Empty glass Light sour, wood, vanilla, light chocolate, light pineapple.

Basically delicious New Yarmouth with lots of tropical fermented fruit, cookie dough and plenty of funk and glue. For me, however, the virgin oak is definitely a little too dominant and adds too much tannin and a certain sharpness and acidity that I find rather annoying. However, I can really imagine it in a Mai tai.
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
Würzige Ester, so würde ich den Rum beschreiben. Das Virgin Oak hat hervorragende Arbeit geleistet, was wirklich hervorzuheben ist, denn die Lagerung in einem solchen Fass kann auch schnell fürchterlich schiefgehen. Hier aber ist meines Erachtens genau zum richtigen Zeitpunkt abgefüllt worden. Auch im Mai Tai zusammen mit dem Red Barrel äußerst lecker. Für mich die positive Überraschung des Präsentationsabends von Ed. 49 und 50 des Rumclubs. Ich prophezeie: Der Rum wird weggehen wie warme Semmeln (German saying). Update 2025-02-27: Nochmals in Ruhe verkostet und den ersten Eindruck vor drei Monaten bestätigt. Toller Rum!
Review by Galli33
Once again RC delivered solidly! Chapeau! A great rum where the Virgin Oak cask shows what it can do! Very good for mixing in cocktails (Mai Tai 😎🤪). Clearly also enjoyable neat, but not an easy sipper 😉😬
Review by zabo
Edit: von mal zu mal schmeckt er mir im MaiTai besser. Nach oben korrigiert So endlich doch mal das Sample verkostet. Ja es ist ein New Yarmouth nicht zu leugnen. Jedoch sehr jung, wild und alkoholisch. Im Nachhinein betrachtet ein wenig zu überbewertet für mich. Pur sehr ungestüm. Als Mixer ganz nice, aber wenn man den Preis auf 0,7l hochrechnet eher Mittelfeld und nicht der Mega Schnapper
Review by SaibotZtar
Young wild New Yarmouth... My expectations weren't really all that high, so I'm all the more surprised. Glue, tropical fruits, lots of marzipan and yet also a portion of woodiness. A little too alcoholic on its own, but that's probably due to its young age. In May Tai a real stunner, very fruity and biscuity, super tasty.
Review by Adrian Wahl
For this price, it's awesome! Ages much older and more mature than the four years. I'm not the biggest Virgin Oak fan, but this was great.
Review by Lukas Jäger
Exciting! New Yarmouth is a bit of a mystery and single casks are always exciting. Here we have a young wild one, tamed with a Virgin Oak cask. I first expected an ester bomb like the 2009 releases and although there are plenty of esters, this rum has a somewhat different profile. Less cookie dough (though recognizable), more dark, spicy, and woody. The virgin cask worked hard without overwhelming the rum with wood and bitter notes. I could definitely imagine that 2020 in a few years (and in more classic casks) could produce strong releases. Currently definitely a good and also interestingly priced bottling, which I could also imagine well in a Mai Tai.
Review by Frank
A still quite young NY, with a good %. But NY is basically exactly my thing. Nose: intense but pleasant esters with the typical profile - orange and lime as well as banana and gooseberry plus polish with marzipan. Added sweetness of candied fruits. Delicious. 8.2 Palate: dominant esters and initially salty-bitter, almost towards iodine. Then pineapple-marzipan with banana and lemon peel. Also has a tart note of young wood. Slightly bacon-like at the back. Seems a bit too young and tart for me. 7.8
Review by LukaŽiga
8,5:On the nose, the first impression we get are esters and glue, perhaps polish, then fruits come in with tropical pineapple, banana and roasted wood notes like chocolate and caramel. On aeration, the fruits are also yellow bourbon, mango and a hint of coconut.The wood gives us spices and pastry, perhaps a hint of cookie dough. 8,4:On the palate, the attack is funky, estery with glue, maybe varnish and tropical fruits like mango, banana, yellow fruits and bergamot, a bit alcoholic. The wood is roasted with pastry, marzipan, perhaps cookie dough, spicy with vanilla, baking spices, a bit salty.Fruits become candied after resting and dried with apricots, raisins, a molasses herbaceous.There is also a hint of coconut. 8,4:The finish is long, dry with roasted wood notes, tropical, yellow fruits and spicy..
Review by Timo Groeger
After the Chalong Bay just now, this New Yarmouth is a real blessing. Typical Jamaica profile, we have tropical fruits here, especially banana and pineapple, as well as lots of esters. Really a good and tasty rum.
Review by Andi
Wow, super cool rum, what can I say, from the nose to the palate very good, super fruity, tropical fruits, young wood that fits in well, the alcohol is well integrated.
Review by DosenZorn
Absolute grenade. Full power NY. Cookie dough, fruit, marzipan. Initially had concerns about the 4 years in the Virgin Oak. But these were dispelled immediately. Perfectly matured. Probably couldn't have been bottled at a better time. A real bullet and an absolute no-brainer for the price.
Review by Johnny Rumcask
Ester meets wood meets wood meets ester: if that's what you're looking for, this one delivers fully. The rum is fun, but you don't have to look for nuances here. It can't deny its young age. Ester and wood. Alcohol clearly present.
Review by Michael Schillheim
Die New Yarmouth DNA ist bei der Abfüllung von den Jungs aus Berlin nicht zu leugnen. Ester, Keksteig, tropische Früchte. Leider merkt man auch das junge Alter. Leicht alkoholisch und wild. Stabile Abfüllung, die mir sehr gut gefällt.
Review by Master P
Super awesome rum, what can I say, from the nose to the palate very good, super fruity, tropical fruits, young wood that fits in well, the alcohol is well integrated. On the finish there is an alcoholic sharpness, at first after opening the bottle I didn't notice it, now after 3 weeks I do. Maybe it's just me. Very tasty and for 4 years it tastes very mature. Unbeatable for the price, unfortunately sold out.
Review by rbfsnow
Big surprise for only 4y old in Virgin Oak Cask. Very fruity, spicy, marzipan and perfect alcohol integration. If all Virgin Oak Casks could works like this one.....
Review by Christoph
Almost complex for such a young high ester rum. A wonderful taste experience for HD fans.
Review by Boletus
Due to its youth, this NY is very lively in the mouth with tropical fruits, esters, and glue. This sometimes stormy intensity is complemented by a good dose of wood spice from the fresh oak barrel, which also releases some harsher tannins. Not easy to drink but a lot of fun if you want to really hit your taste buds.
Review by lars
My expectation was high. It wasn't fully met, but for the young age still a clear recommendation. A bit too alcoholic, but otherwise a nice mix of ester, some fruit and a nice cookie/marzipan blend. I like it.
Review by TheRhumhoe
Spirit of Rum s’essaye avec un New Yarmouth jeune mais plein de ressources. Le nez est à la fois funky et pâtissier, notamment sur la pâte à biscuit, la vanille et le beurre pâtissier. Il y a pas mal d’esters et de colle, des fruits tropicaux (banane, ananas) ainsi qu’une touche d’acide lactique. Le boisé est léger mais s’articule bien autour du profil pour lui donner une touche épicée. Un profil rond et complet pour son jeune âge. On retrouve en bouche cette belle rondeur et la variété aromatique du nez. Les fruits tropicaux (ananas, banane, mangue) et les notes pâtissières de massepain, de caramel et de pâte à biscuit offrent une association aromatique douce mais riche. Le palais est rehaussé par l’influence légère du bois et des tanins, les épices (vanille) et surtout les esters (colle et vernis entre autres) qui sont marqués mais pas envahissants. Un profil très agréable pour son âge, avec un alcool très bien maîtrisé. La finale est longue, douce, délicate, avec des notes plus fermentées mais toujours portée par cette corbeille de fruits exotiques et ce sachet de pâtisseries. Les épices sont légèrement plus marquées et le boisé reste fin. Les arômes médicinaux viennent en appui pour prolonger la rétro-olfaction avec élégance. Un New Yarmouth équilibré et charmant, avec ce qu’il faut de funk et de douceur.
Review by DER Prinzessin
A bomb in a Mai Tai. Young and wild, something's happening on the palate.
Review by Mirco
Powerful, young New Yarmouth with typical ester profile. On the nose fermented tropical fruits, some solvent and a hint of vanilla. On the palate intense and fruity with pineapple, banana and a light woody tone, accompanied by a fresh herbal note. The alcohol is clearly noticeable but not disturbing. The finish is long, warm and slightly sweetish. An exciting, wild Jamaican with lots of energy, lacking a bit of maturity for rounding off.
Review by Carlitooo
Wood meets ester, intense rum and intense fresh wood -> the result is surprisingly awesome and soft for the high alcohol content and tastes noticeably older and riper on the palate than it actually is with its 4 years. All this at a top price-performance ratio.
Review by Rumpalumpa
The virgin oak barrel makes it riper than 4 years would suggest and brings nice aromas of vanilla, oats, and amaretto into play. Also on the palate a nice combo of some funk and barrel spice. Slightly alcoholic aftertaste.
Review by Mentalo
Lots of cookie dough, spices, slightly fruity, esters. You can notice the influence of the Virgin Oak cask. Unfortunately still a bit too alcoholic. But I still think the 2020 vintage definitely has potential.
Review by Agricoler
Schöner High Ester New Yarmouth. Er weißt grundsätzlich Ähnlichkeiten zu einem High Ester Long Pond auf, liegt vermutlich an dem Virgin Oak. Tolle Keksteig Esternase durch und durch. Für mich ist der Alkohol allerdings solal integriert.
Review by F.L.O.
Eine Lackbombe wenn man nach der Nase geht. Sehr intensiver Allohol und natürlich Ester. Am Gaumen viel Frucht und kaum noch Lack. Aber der Alkohol ist deutlich präsent. Trotz 30 Minuten Wartezeit ist er etwas zu intensiv. Der Abgang ist schön lang und lecker.
Review by GuybrushThreepwood
Nice balance between the esters and the cask influence. The Virgin Oak cask managed to tame both the esters and the alcohol a bit and make them accessible. Still a very powerful bottling. Nice marzipan sweetness. So far the best bottling from a Virgin Oak cask I've had in the glass. Great stuff!
Review by JFehr
This one is really fun. Great fruity and nicely mature.
Review by DeMaddin
Ungestüm und ein bisschen wild, mit Ecken und einigen Kannten, so würde ich diesen Burschen hier beschreiben. Preisleistung noch ok, ABV ist für mein Empfinden nicht gut integriert, wenig komplex. Das Fass bringt das Ganze einigermaßen in den Ramen, es ist halt ein junger NY.
Review by tolf
Wahnwitziges Ding. Sticht mir meine anderen guten Jamaikaner (NY CDI 2009; RC HD DOK 2009, Cambrige STCE 2010) alle noch einmal aus. Nase fast ein bisschen Brandwein/Cognac, aber mit viel Frucht, Banane, vergoren und Ester natürlich. Der Geschmack hat alles, vom Ester bizteln über Frucht zu Kakao und natürlich das NY-Keksaroma. Intensvier sehr langer Abgang, füllt den ganzen Mund noch ewig. Aufgrund der genannte Abfüllungen, gegen den ich ihn stelle, muss ich ihm erst einmal eine 9.0 geben. Update: Ich muss hier nach unten korrgieren. Der Rum verliert, um so länger er oxidiert an Breite/Volumen und schmeckt unrunder als zu Beginn. Wer eine Flasche erst öffnet, am besten einen Teil umfüllen in ein Fläschen ohne Luft darin. Hatte ich so noch nicht. Ich reduziere auf 8.6.
Review by Martin Ekrt
Zajímavá chuť krom očekávaného i něco ala marcipán, ale slušelo by tomu větší zralost.
Review by Josef Barot
Po prvním ochutnání nic mic ale po nadýchnutí tak půl hodiny ve sklenici je to paráda krásná esterová vůně alkohol příjemně integrovaný lehce štípne zajímavý kousek
Review by Thomas Renoud
05/12/24 : I recently purchased the warehouse #1 new Yarmouth, and it's a real Esther bomb, I found the flavour profile intense and complexe so I thought having thsi in new oak can be interesting. Well... I'm not so sure. The oak tempered the beast for sure but it is still really intense and the finish is long long long. I'll come back to it later maybe time will add more complexity to it.
