Nearly everyone who tries this loves it, with only a couple wishing for more cask influence or a bit more aging. It's a loud, high-ester New Yarmouth: overripe pineapple, banana and mango piled on top of glue and solvent, with caramel and honey underneath. At 64% the alcohol is warm but mostly well tucked in. The wood shows late, drier and slightly tannic on a very long finish.

Review by crazyforgoodbooze
caramelized banana, vanilla pudding, marzipan, honey brioche, mango and maraschino cherry on the nose. overall much "darker" than the 12. then some peach iced tea, nutmeg, mango and kumquat jam and salty brioche with marzipan and caramel on the palate. the finish is rather dark chocolate, almonds and rather furry and not as funky & fruity creamy as its 12 year old colleague. also more wood and tannins noticeable in the 13 compared to the 12!
Review by Mirco
Intense New Yarmouth with a distinctive ester profile. Ripe tropical fruit and spices on the nose, pineapple, banana and a hint of bitterness on the palate. The aroma is clear and focused, with a powerful, lasting finish.
Review by Adrian Wahl
Top-class New Yarmouth. In my eyes, however, not quite on the same level as the RX611
Review by LukaŽiga
9,2:On the nose, medicinal with esters, glue and solvents, overripe tropical fruits like banana and pineapple, candied fruits, cherry, toasted wood notes like marzipan, caramel, pastry, spicy with allspice, bump into our nosetrils. On aeration, molasses is vegetal with olive, fermented dairy hints, buttery, arise, mango and papaya, bubble gum hints and vanilla. 9:On the palate, the attack is medicinal with esters, glue, rubber, bicycle tube, funky, chemical, fruity with fermented tropical fruits like banana and pineapple, mango, green and citrus fruits, marmalade like, later candied, vinegar hints, molasses is vegetal with olive, grassy, floral and the wood brings toasted notes like caramel, pastry, spicy, warm with allspice, vanilla, smoky, slightly meaty. 9,1:The finish is long, dry&tannic, medicinal, chemical, funky, slightly furry with toasted oak notes like nuts, cocoa, pastry, marzipan, spicy, smoky, fruity with tropical, citrus fruits and molasses is vegetal, grassy with hay.
Review by Skyfly
Really awesome NY05 (though I haven't had a bad one in my mouth so far) Super much tropical fruit and ester/lacquer. Pastry/dough less pronounced than in other releases. Wood and spices slightly noticeable.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Would have loved more taste from the cask itself. Maybe they have used very old used rum casks.
Review by Tschusikowsky
Bitter, slightly musty, slightly sulfurous like gunpowder, dried tropical fruits, good mouthfeel, alcohol noticeable but well integrated. Vanilla and tropical fruits, plenty of esters. It already has this strong NY-characteristic that has something brutal with lots of power. With water a bit creamier and softer. A great complexity if you wait a bit until the primary "loudness" of the rum has settled a bit. Long finish with a fine creaminess but also plenty of spice and overripeness of the tropical fruits.
Review by Leo Krüper
Great fruitiness, well balanced in the wood. Super nose! I like it very much.
Review by Stylo
Truly surprising! This rum screams Jamaica all over it! Tons of almost-rotten fruits (banana, pineapple and mango) well mixed with light glue and vanilla. On the finish i sense fruit jam and a touch of almond. Another wonderful release by CDI..I just wish that these gems will be distributed more frequently also here in Italy!
Review by Tom Buteneers
Yeah… I’m probably a bit too drunk for this now. But we were mixing things and this sample came up. It’s way too good to be mixing, so we had it neat. This is some killer stuff. Would probably buy a case of it if I could…. And use maybe one bottle for mixing 😅
Review by Michael Schou
22-03-2025 - Rate 8.9 Really good New Yarmouth. Nose and plate is fantastic. Good integration of rum and ABV 02-08-2026 - 8.9 Tasted again after long time. Still a funky rum full of Jamaica power and fruit.
Review by TheRhumhoe
Compagnie des Indes hit hard with this special edition for Denmark. There's an enormous aromatic concentration on the nose: a flood of tropical fruits, from pineapple to banana, passing through mango and papaya, bringing incredible indulgence. Beautiful pastry notes of caramel, toffee, biscuits, and viennoiseries. The medicinal and esterified funk is powerful but very elegant, perfectly accompanying the other aromas. Honorable mention to the spices (cinnamon, chili, vanilla) that enhance this ultra-flavorful profile. It's a huge aromatic punch on the palate with an avalanche of ripe fruits: pineapple, banana, mango, and citrus follow one another, decorating the palate with their exoticism. We find the pastry notes, more fermentative but very round and supporting the profile with spices. The esters, glue, and solvents give character and elevate the palate with medicinal notes. The alcohol is perfectly integrated. An expressive, rich, and refined New Yarmouth, a masterpiece. The finish is superb, funky, complex, dry, and intense. The fruitiness is less present to make way for beautiful notes of almond, marzipan, and pastries that combine perfectly with medicinal notes. A complete, expressive, refined New Yarmouth that will delight fans of this reference, a masterpiece.
Review by Lukas Jäger
A very nice Jamaican from New Yarmouth. Lots of fruit and spices on the nose, plus the characteristic cookie dough aroma. Even more fruit on the palate, banana, pineapple and mango, the complete Jamaican palette. Plus a sour citrus note and sweet hints of honey, caramel and syrup. I like the nose a little better than the taste. Overall, it's a lot of fun, even if it can't hold a candle to its one year younger brother!
Review by Johnny Rumcask
High Ester NY: grilled pineapple, yellow fruit, not dissimilar to Hampden, but somehow different. Pleasant light acidity, strongly astringent and a very long finish. The alcohol could be a little better integrated, but if the rum is allowed to breathe sufficiently, this is not a problem. The only question that remains: Why isn't more of this bottled?
Review by Thunderbird
A full load of esters and fermented pineapple on the nose! On the palate, initially sweet and fruity (fermented pineapple)... then becoming spicy, slightly peppery and bitter, the finish feels furry and dry! A note of young wood develops! A good rum... but could have been left a little longer
Review by Natascha og Aske
The nose is outstanding. It explodes in fruits, spices, cherrylike notes with a hint of glue. The taste is initially like light caramel and honey the takes a U-turn to cherrry sorbet and then again sets off to mango/flower world. It all end up with a looooooong finish of medicinal character and a well integrated warming alcohol. One og the best rum we’ve had so far.
