Nail polish, overripe pineapple and banana hit first, backed by a thick, oily body and a long, bone-dry finish. This is a high-ester New Yarmouth pot still at a full 66.6% — one taster called the intensity enough to "anesthetize the palate," and a few flag a spice/medicinal note and pushy young oak. Classic 2005 Jamaican funk, turned all the way up.
The community says- Big ester funk
- Overripe pineapple, banana
- But: Very hot alcohol

How does The Wild Parrot New Yarmouth Selected by LMDW 2005 taste?
Summarized by AI from 18 community reviews.
Extreme, oily high-ester Jamaican bomb Loved by ester fans for its intense varnish-and-tropical-fruit power. Most agree it's extreme, oily and very hot — several say the alcohol could be better integrated, and the oak divides people.

Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
21.02.2020 A small private event where we borrowed the basement bar area for a private tasting and also had a go at their food. Notes. Light in colour. Nose Intense, ester, wood, fruity, overripe, polish, light citrus. Palate Intense, warm, wood, fruity, citrus, pineapple, polish, roasted. Finish Very long, dry, wood, roasted, light chocolate, iodine, faint coffee.
Review by TheRhumhoe
A real aromatic knockout. This ester-rich New Yarmouth presents powerful notes of varnish, overripe tropical fruit and olive tapenade on the nose. Despite the light woody, spicy and citrus notes, the fermented, phenolic aromas typical of Jamaica dominate. The funky, heavy, powerful and aromatic profile described on the nose returns on the palate with additional tannins and roasted notes. The rum is oily, thick and concentrated on the palate, and above all of a power that literally anesthetizes the palate (perhaps even a little too much). The finish is very long, with no aromatic surprises on the profile released on the palate, even if it has enough to disinfect the palate and throat. An extreme rum not for everyone.
Review by SaibotZtar
New Yarmouth is and remains (especially the mid vintages 2005/2009) incredibly different and awesome. Full power fruit esters and marzipan shortcrust pastry—I love this profile. Nose excellent, I'd rate it 90+. On the palate it falls a bit, the wood notes (like Virgin Oak) come through too strongly and feel slightly disturbing. I'd rate it more like 82+. Finish fruity, dusty dry, slightly bitter.
Review by Jussi Piirainen
On the nose:Intense, Esters, nail polish, overripe pineapple. Little bit of citrus notes in the background. Light woody notes in the background. Taste: Fruity and intense. Overripe pineapple and banana notes. Esters. Citrus notes. Very good integration of alcohol. Finish: Esters, overripe and little bit of fermented tropical fruits. Intense and warm. Long finish. Oh yeah, this one was leaning on to typical Jamaican rum notes with good intensity and offered a good finish.
Review by Timo Groeger
Also a really great Jamaican. Overripe tropical fruits, like at Hampden especially banana and pineapple. Ester is also clearly noticeable here, plus a bit of nail polish on the nose. Great New Yarmouth.
Review by Skyfly
The classic 05er NY profile with lots of esters, nail polish and tropical fruits. Also slight wood, olive and a special spice mix that I personally don't like that much. Alcohol very well integrated.
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
The nose is resinous, acidic and fruity, with extremely overripe aromas. Glue, caramel and vanilla complete the aromatic bouquet. The nose is intense, very rich and concentrated. Beautiful. The palate remains extreme, as it too is extremely intense. The attack is frank, with its 66.6% alcohol content. The profile is heavier and less greedy than the nose, with a herbaceous, medicinal note that disturbs me. The finish, in addition to being very long, is bewildering, with notes of empyreumatic and extreme spice. What an experience! Clearly not for the faint of heart, because it's still pretty intense. I'm delighted to have tasted it during this tasting, as the palate doesn't quite fit my criteria.
Review by DaveLamb
tasted three good JNY, this one is impactive but exquisite. young NY and alcohlic, alcohol is a little overwhelming. That could be improved a little bit. look forward to more refined NY of the '00s.
Review by Jesper Petersen
