CDI New Yarmouth Jamaica (Bottled for Denmark) 2005

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.

The community says
  • Overripe tropical fruit
  • Big ester punch
  • But: Hot, needs water

9.2/10

karamellisierte Banane, Vanillepudding, Marzipan, Honig Brioche, Mango und maraschino Kirsche an der Nase. insgesamt deutlich "dunkler" wie der 12er. geschmacklich dann etwas pfirsich Eistee, Muskatnuss, mango und Kumquatmarmelade und salziges brioche mit Marzipan und Karamell. im Abgang dann eher dunkle Schokolade, Mandeln und eher pelzig und nicht so funky & fruchtig cremig wie sein 12 jähriger Kollege. auch mehr Holz und tannine spürbar beim 13er im Vergleich zum 12er!

Ein sehr schöner Jamaikaner aus dem Hause New Yarmouth. In der Nase viel Frucht und Gewürze, dazu die charakteristische Keksteig-Aromatik. Am Gaumen noch mehr Frucht, Banane, Ananas und Mango, die komplette Jamaika-Palette. Dazu eine saure Zitrusnote und süße Anklänge von Honig, Karamell und Sirup. Die Nase gefällt mir etwas besser als der Geschmack. Macht insgesamt sehr viel Spaß, auch wenn er dem ein Jahr jüngeren Bruder nicht das Wasser reichen kann!

High Ester NY: gegrillte Ananas, gelbe Früchte, Hampden nicht unähnlich, aber doch irgendwie anders. Angenehme leichte Säure, stark adstringierend und ein sehr langer Abgang. Der Alkohol könnte etwas besser eingebunden sein, wenn den Rum jedoch ausreichend atmen lässt, ist dies kein Problem. Die einzige Frage, die zurückbleibt: Warum wird hiervon nicht mehr abgefüllt?

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.

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!

In der Nase die volle Ladung Ester und vergorene Ananas! Am Gaumen anfangs süss und fruchtig (vergorene Ananas).. dann würzig werdend, leicht pfeffrig und bitter, der Abgang fühlt sich pelzig und trocken an! Eine Note von jungem Holz entwickelt sich! Ein guter Rum… hätte aber noch etwas liegen können

Je trouve ça magnifique de bout en bout. Dégusté après les version réduite je vois tout le potentiel de ce millésime 2005. On est sur la même trame que ses petites sœurs mais tout simplement meilleur. Beaucoup de fruits et de pâtisserie limite brioche beurrée. Un très grand rhum.

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 😅

Avg Rating 8.7/10 96 Rums

New Yarmouth is Jamaican rum's best-kept secret. There are almost no photos of it, it makes Wray & Nephew White, the island's best-selling rum, and it is one of only three distilleries that can reach the highest esters. Collectors only really discovered it through aged 1994 vintages, which have become some of the most surprising rums on RumX.
