New Yarmouth Rum Artesanal Jamaica Rum NYE 1994
Open in the app
Most people rate this 31-year New Yarmouth highly, but there's a real split over the alcohol. At 66.5% the heat is hard to miss — some call it poorly integrated and a bit aggressive, others say a drop of water or 20-30 minutes in the glass and it turns creamy and rounder. Underneath: coconut, vanilla, toffee, glue, roasted wood and dried tropical fruit. A long, warming finish.
The community says- Coconut and toffee
- Long warm finish
- Age for the money

How does New Yarmouth Rum Artesanal Jamaica Rum NYE 1994 taste?
Aggregated from 57 community reviews.
Intense old Jamaican, hot but rewarding Loved by most as a deep, funky, age-worthy Jamaican at a fair price — but plenty of tasters find the alcohol sharp and not fully tamed until it sits and breathes.

Review by Tim Reiber
The fruity funkiness usually found in younger Jamaicans is replaced in this 1994 by a very complex, old, and noble richness. Glue, cold coffee, and coconut are part of it. On the palate, you notice the 66%, but in a positive way. It releases an extremely intense flavor. The wood-accompanied glue splits into a wide range of aromas. Very exciting. The finish is so long that you don’t realize when the notes of wood, toffee, and dried fruits like dried mango fade away.

Second tasting with a healthy nose and a bit of oxidation in the sample bottle: The alcohol hits the nose and the roasted notes are stronger than in the first tasting. Clearly funkier than RX1563 – but not young, spritzy funky, rather old, dignified funky 😉 On the palate again quite a present alcohol. Overall, I like it a bit better than the 2020 bottling (+0.1). Small comparison tasting with the two 94er New Yarmouth from Rum Artesanal: Color in the glass: identical, the current bottling is maybe a shade lighter than RX1563. Also interesting are the barrel numbers: 203 and 204 were combined in RX1563, RX24450 has barrel number 205. This suggests the barrels were purchased at the same time from Heinz Eggert. Nose: Bourbon, esters, fruits, more intense than RX1563, otherwise very similar. Palate: after about 2 seconds I get a "fruit kick" (which I don’t find in RX1563), otherwise very balanced, again bourbon, coconut, alcohol is present. Finish: long and very balanced, no bitterness. I’m not a big fan of the 94er New Yarmouths but in my opinion this bottling is at least as good as RX1563! I need to repeat the tasting because today my senses are affected by a starting cold. The first impression and the price asked are already enough for a recommendation. p.s. I couldn’t find any herbal notes 😉

Ein weiterer 94er New Yarmouth... Der Alkohol ist leider vor allem geschmacklich sehr präsent und wird auch nach 30 Minuten atmen nicht besser integriert. Aromatisch finde ich diesen NY auch eher sehr eindimensional und lange nicht so komplex wie andere top Vertreter dieses Jahrgangs. Ich schmecke primär eine leichte Holz säure, Kräuter, Muskatnuß, dunkle Schokolade, kräftige Bourbon Noten, Klebstoff und etwas Limette, Kokosnuss und Ester. Die aktuellen extrem hohen Bewertungen kann ich nicht nachvollziehen. Der Distilia mizunara px cask ist hier deutlich besser und spannender oder auch der fine Drams new Yarmouth 94.

#6249 17.01.2026 Relaxing with a few samples while watching Star Trek Strange New Worlds. Nose Medium intense, light wood, fruity, mango, light coconut, polish, light caramel, glue, ester. Palate Oily, intense, wood, light roasted, nutts, clove, balanced, raisin, light coffee, fruity, mango, light coconut, glue, ester. Finish Very long and warm, wood, roasted, light coffee, banana, faint citrus. Empty glass Light nutts, light coconut, caramel, mango, cinnamon. Needs to rest for a while to really open up properly.
Review by Johannes
Wieder mal ein hervorragender Vertreter der mittlerweile (auf Rumx 42) verschiedenen NY94. Der Alkohol ist etwas präsent, aber sonst keine Fehlnoten. Für den Preis wirklich unschlagbar!
Review by Oliver
Exzellenter Vertreter der 1994er New Yarmouths! Eine äußerst angenehme Süße, toller Fasseinfluss und ein ewiger Abgang, der einfach Lust auf den nächsten Schluck macht. Eine fantastische Abfüllung zu Weihnachtszeit! 🎄💯
Review by zabo
Edit: even after the second tasting, the alcohol hits quite hard. It is really extremely badly integrated. If it weren't for the great nose, it would rank even lower. The first impression: the nose is already very very good, unfortunately it is still too alcoholic for me in taste, which prevents a better rating. But let's wait and see what the second tasting in peace brings.
Review by Thunderbird
Another 94 New Yarmouth... this vintage almost always promises pure enjoyment... and this time is no different... though with a slight drawback... the alcohol isn’t perfectly integrated... but that doesn’t stop the expected play of aromas... as long as you just let small sips spread on your tongue. Without this flaw, it would be perfect. It can definitely hold its own with the others. Considering the price, it’s a recommendation for me.
Review by Mirco
Mature New Yarmouth with depth, but somewhat hampered by a persistent alcoholic sharpness. On the nose, vanilla and coconut with dried fruit and wood, but always accompanied by a noticeable sharpness. Dense and concentrated on the palate with spice and dried fruit, oak, but the alcohol remains present and lingers into the finish, where it detracts somewhat from the profile's elegance. Other 1994s show more calm and balance here. Nevertheless, a solid bottling with very good value for money.
Review by Master P
The 94 is initially very pungent with sweet aromas from the barrel and vanilla. Also pungent alcohol on the palate, creamy and slightly roasted. Fruit with lots of sweetness. But also a play of acidity at the back. Quite a good bottling for the price.
Review by Rumpalumpa
Really pleasing to get such an old Jamaican for the price. It's not too old either, you don't have to fear the wood dominating everything. Unfortunately, I have to agree with the "complaints" about the noticeable alcohol.
Review by Fred Tillac
👃 = Well fragrant, lively but not too much, with woody, caramel, orange, banana, coconut with a bit of varnish and spices.. 👄 = In a greasy and dense texture, the alcohol expresses itself clearly while being well integrated, offering a smoky and fruity balance. Woody and spicy, the finish is logically warm and long. Thanks to the Germans from Rum Artesanal for offering us a very good affordable 31-year-old Jamaican rum 👍
Review by Righrum
Wow, this is a great New Yarmouth 1994. The abv is really high and I can notice it clearly, and despite being intense this rum is really open and the tastes are coming out of the glass easily. This being so "open" and almost bright is one of the highlights of this rum, which makes it stand out compared to other rums of the same vintage. A nose driven by glue and polish remover, but also wood and coconut. The palate is consistent, yet strongly alcool driven
Review by Fuwi
Great 1994 New Yarmouth, beautiful bottling. Much rounder, deeper and more character than the FRC 1994. Dark fruits, but also a lot of funk and fermented fruits and esters - but very well integrated, offers a great experience from nose to palate Thanks to Michael for opening the bottle ❤️
Review by Alexander Rasch
Classic NY 94 profile. The nose is very successful with coconut, pastry, roasted aromas and apricot. On the palate then not as creamy as expected. Lots of coconut and bourbon. Vanilla and roasted aromas. Some sharpness. Finish then similar. I would have wished for a bit more body and complexity. Overall too aggressive on the palate.
Review by Carlitooo
Once again a top 94 New Yarmouth. Right from the start it is äsest and beautifully intense. Like the other representatives, it likes to have 20-30 minutes in the glass to open up completely. Then it becomes beautifully creamy and a good bit softer. The rum is really fun and is also fair for the price.
Review by Martin Švojgr
I'm really impressed this time around with the 31-year-old NewYarmut. I find the palate extremely complex and long, full of apricots, raisins, coconut and wood. At the end, pepper appears in the taste. Compared to other bourbon agings, I find it slightly sweeter. Anyway, the taste is very harmonious and the alcohol is well integrated.
Review by Stan Hardy
My first 1994 New Yarmouth. I'm really impressed. A really awesome piece! Old, but not too old. Balanced and harmonious, with slight vanilla notes and a pleasant sweetness. The finish is quite long. Got it for 150€. A fantastic price
Review by Loïc V.
Nose : Coconut, bourbon, woody, vanilla, pastry Taste : Big influence of the cask, woody, alcohol is perceptible but with aeration it gets better, flavors are concentrated Finish : Long, spicy, woody Liked it a lot
Review by Icebird
A very good New Yarmouth with 31 years for a great price. I like it very much 😊 the alcohol is a bit strong but with a few drops of water you can counteract that, but for me it's okay :)
