Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Personally, there are a little too many spices dominant here, such as nutmeg and ginger, as well as fermented kiwi and roasted almonds. very tasty overall, but the 12er new Yarmouth is clearly a bit ahead! But for drinks like Corn'n'Oil it's absolutely great!
Review by Mirco
Powerful New Yarmouth with a pronounced ester profile. Glue, tropical fruits and spices dominate the nose, with pineapple, banana and a subtle bitterness on the palate. The aromas are multi-layered and harmoniously integrated, giving the rum depth and character. A successful bottling that convincingly presents the profile of New Yarmouth.

19.04.2019 Meeting up with some old colleagues at this wonderful hotel. Notes Light in colour. Nose Intense, fresh, light wood, pineapple, light glue, spices, plum. Palate Light wood, naturally sweet, light glue, faint polish, pineapple, spicy, light salt. Finish Long and warm, wood, light plum, light glue, pineapple.
Review by Thunderbird
Certainly a good NY...but: in the nose I miss the fruitiness. Ester and glue dominate too much!On the palate initially esters, a pleasant sweetness and then the change to the spices with vanilla, allspice and ginger! Later transitioning to young wood! The alcohol quite well integrated!The finish is relatively short and is dominated by the spices allspice and licorice!For me it is not so coherent in relation to the other NY known to me
Review by Lot-NAS
What a great Hampden (Diamond C maybe?)! Okok, it is a NY but in a blind tasting this would have been a Hampden 99,98% sure. Nevertheless, a great but rather untypical NY, a lot of overripe fruits, some spices, wood and a funkiness above all.
Review by mto75
blind I would have classified the rather with the HD high esters. Besides the fermented (but lacks the buttery creamy notes so appreciated in HD) and varnish come citrus and kiwi on the nose. Compared to the many terrific '94 NYs (e.g. RA and V
Review by Basti
NY High Ester Blindverkostung mit JNY20, JNY19, JNY15, JNE16 und TWJ 2009. An der Nase die typischen NY High Ester Marker mit Klebstoff, Marzipan, Keksteig, tropischen Früchten, Vanille. Am Gaumen dann schon ölig mit Ester, tropischen Früchten, Marzipan, Gewürzen. Alkohol ist hier gut eingebunden. Hat mir heute mit am besten gefallen, wobei mir alle sehr gut gefallen haben und am Ende vermutlich nur die Tagesform entscheidet.
Review by Felix Reiber
Dies ist ein sehr kraftvoller Jamaikaner. In der Nase habe ich viel Ananas, Ester und Nagellack mit einer intensiven Würzigkeit. Am Gaumen wieder sehr intensiv mit schönen, fruchtigen Estern. Eine aufregende funkyness gepaart mit tollen Gewürznoten (z.B. Ingwer) kommen mit Röstaromen dazu. Außerdem etwas Zitronenmelisse. Der Abgang ist mittellang, kraftvoll und geprägt von Würze, Holz und hellen, tropischen Früchten. Wirklich gut gemacht.
Review by Santo
Il réunit tous les critères d'un bon NY, mais diluer... dommage
Review by DosenZorn
An der Nase etwas zurückhaltend, aber klassisches NY Profil mit zusätzlich leichtem Bananeneinschlag und Gewürzen/Kräutern am Gaumen. Wer NY mag wird kommt hier voll auf seine Kosten. Gut eingebundene 55%.
Review by Adrian Wahl
Awesome stuff. Very similar to RX4089, but a year older. The dilution would not have had to be. There was more in it and the Danish bottlings show what was possible.
Review by alex
Well done this little Jamaican. Maybe a little too spicy for my taste, but it goes really well.
Review by Lawich Lowaine
NY a un nouveau fan. J’aime beaucoup ce type de profil gourmand et pâtissier. Malgré la réduction il a du caractère et un certain punch. Après aération 1h ou 2 il devient très doux et rond et encore plus fruité. Validé.
Review by Joël
Dürfte definitiv mehr % haben, aber guter Einsteiger NY 😅.

"Fantastic New Yarmouth. Very fruity and also vegetal. In addition, spicy-herbal and in the taste also biscuit-sweetish. Makes really fun!"
