Great New Yarmouth. Ester and glue hit you right away. But still nice and not brutal or wild. Alongside fruity notes and citrus. Nice and creamy in the mouth. Fruit again. Not wild but everything well integrated. Pleasant sweetness. Very good bottling.

#5911 31.10.2025 Attending Tom and Barbli's wedding in Belgium and it was a monster of an event with a very nice after party the following day. This is also a very good release and again I have secured a bottle for myself. Another fruit bomb with a well balanced and naturally sweet palate. The finish is also very long and fruity with some nice and light spicy sweetness to it.
Review by Banana Joe
Direktvergleich der beiden neuen 2005er New Yarmouth. Beim TWJ zu Beginn etwas weniger Ester, hier kommen die Fruchtaromen etwas stärker durch, Auffällig ist Banane die fehlt mir beim TBS. Zu Beginn eine Zitrusnote insgesamt leicht mehr Säure als beim TBS. Nasen nähern sich aber mit der Zeit an und blind kann ich sie dann nicht mehr unterscheiden. Auch am Gaumen sind die Ester weniger stark ausgeprägt und er wirkt etwas fruchtiger. Schöne ölige,cremige Textur. Abgang bei beiden lang und der Alkohol ist top eingebunden. Insgesamt finde ich den TWJ minimal geschmeidiger und ausgewogener und er hat daher ganz minimal die Nase vorne. Aber denke das ist sicher Tagesformabhängig. Bin froh von beiden eine Flasche zu haben.

25-10-2025 - Rate 9.2 By now it’s no surprise that I love New Yarmouth. 1994 is the absolute favorite New Yarmouth year. Som 2005 with more age is starting to pop up and they are really great. Nose of tropical fruit, banana, ester and oak. Taste that follows the nose quit well. Still tropical fruits, ester, methanol and oak. Long finish with tropical fruits, oak and esters as the dominating flavor. 01-11-2025 - Rate 9.1 06-11-2025 - Rate 9.2 05-12-2025 - Rate 9.0 12-12-2025 - Rate 8.9

Attention grosse balle !!! Un des meilleurs NY que j’ai eu l’occasion de déguster !! Du fruit à gogo, un alcool hyper bien intégré, une longueur de dingue… à avoir ou à goûter absolument 😍😍 C’est une explosion en bouche ❤️❤️
Review by Schnubbii
A little more delicate on the nose and a little less in-your-face compared to the NY 2005 from the bottleshop tasted at the same time. Nice grapefruit on the nose. Also somewhat more delicate on the palate, while the Bottleshop is somewhat more robust. The TWJ is rounder, the Bottleshop somewhat wilder. Both at a high level. In the end, the TWJ is slightly ahead for me, as it is a little more to the point. However, the Bottleshop has nothing to hide, both are really great bottlings of high quality.
Review by Jussi Piirainen
On the nose: Esters, glue, varnish and nail polish notes seem be nicely balanced with tropical fruits. Woody notes give a nice aged body to this. Taste: Mango notes at first. Then the esters, glue and other fruit notes hit. The mouthfeel evolves to little bit oily and palate changes little bit towards sweeter side with honey notes. Delicious. Finish: Esters, banana and sweeter notes from maybe marzipan. Little bit of minty/eucalyptus notes at the background. Medium-long finish. Is this my first New Yarmouth rum? Maybe yes, so therefore i cant compare it to New Yarmouth 1994 releases, but this is a fantastic release and i recommend that you try this rum.

👃 😋 ⛳ 🏅 Bombe d'esters funky, fruitée, tropicale, remplie de colle et de solvants. Parmi les meilleurs New Yarmouth 2005 à ce jour.
Review by Jarek
Small 2005 New Yarmouth Cross Tasting - November 2025: On a similar level to the Bottle Shop. But with less ester, glue and solvent, but more sweetness, maturity and spice. Nice, long finish.
Review by Righrum
Despite I am not a fan of NY except 1994, this one is making me rethink my position. Estery and fruity both on the nose, where also spices and especially pepper come out of the glass (LROK 2010 HV anyone?), and on the palate where this rum finds a new dimension with the oilyness. A masterpiece that lacks just of a bit of freshness to be close to the perfection
Review by Stijn Zino
Incredible nose 🤤 Retasting and comparison with The Bottle Shop 2005. This one has more nose to it. They both lack a long finish so i'm lowering my score a bit.
Review by Jacques etdom
Autant au nez, qu en bouche, les esters sont bien présents, du fruit, des solvants, du massepain (mais bien moins que sur le 2009) et tres surprenant, un petit côté fraise en fin de bouche. Notes a approfondir.
Review by Alexander Rasch
Fresh and agile on the nose with a nice variety of esters and barrel notes. Direct acidity on the palate. Barrel influence is there and offers some bitterness. A little shorter on the finish than I had hoped. Very mild finish with some smoke. It loses points here. Overall a tasty drop.
Review by Александр Иванов
Nose: F*kn amazing! Lot of grass, esters, fruits, solvents, glue, apples, bananas, pineapple, lemons, candies, demerara sugar. Some coconut, sandal wood, marmalade & fermented notes. Palate: great balance. Bananas, mango, sweet notes of overripe fruits, mint herbals. Little bit of berries. Aftertaste: long, dry, eucalyptus, herbals, pears, mint, candies. Absolutely great !
Review by mandolin01
Très bon. Sacré puissance au nez et encore plus en bouche. Belle quantité d'esters avec plein de fruits qui prennent bien le palais. Une note de fraîcheur en finale avec un léger d'arôme fraise. Très bien mais costaud !
