New Yarmouth Rum Artesanal Jamaica Rum 2009
Surprise here is how much lands beyond the ester wall: yes, glue and fermented tropical fruit hit first, but tasters keep finding warm brioche, marzipan and sweet mandarin underneath. At 66.9% it's powerful, described by one member as "almost overwhelming" yet balanced. This New Yarmouth 2009 pot-still funk bomb is the bottle that put the distillery on many people's radar.
The community says- Big ester funk
- Marzipan and brioche
- But: High-proof heat

Review by Lukas Jäger
How can it be that after 4 years I still don't have a review for this bottling? For me it's one of the best bottlings I've ever tasted from NY. Apart from the 94s, there was somehow nothing else that I liked so much. Powerful, almost overwhelming, but then just perfectly balanced and complex. An estery bomb, but at the same time it offers a lot more. Warm brioche, sweet mandarins, marzipan, but also a slight smokiness and a hint of cinnamon. I think I could write a lot more here, perhaps I'm exaggerating a little. But somehow this rum has done it to me! Addendum: The sister bottling is also strong, really top, but for me a touch behind this one.
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
Yes, definitely Jamaica, fermented fruits and massive esters from the start. The rum is like a double whammy, in the nose and on the palate, so it must! Now, however, my individual but:I have the rum parallel to the NY 1994 of Valinch
Review by Tim
On the nose there is the full load of esters and glue followed by spice and fruit, but mostly toasty and bitter notes like tobacco and chocolate. With the chocolate, marzipan resonates somewhere in between, making the nose quite complex. In the mouth, not as furry musty as some other Jamaicans, but still spicy dry with fermented sour fruit. At the same time, this rum is also sweet, which is why the mouthfeel is somewhat rounded. At the latest in the finish, a chemical note (solvent) appears, which reminds me most of raspberry or something floral. To this then yet fermented, musty and furry.
Review by Speedflo
Richtig toller JNY von den guten alten zeiten von RA. In der Nase erscheinen bereits eine vielfalt von spannenden typisch jamaikanischen aromen und eine schöne Esternote mit vergorenen, tropischen Früchten. Im Mund ist im ersten Moment das öedrige hoöz presänt und danach entfallten sich die restlichen aromen, ähnlich der Nade. Sehr lecker und süffig, als nächstes ab in den Mai Tai mit dem leckeren Tropfen...
Review by Piotr Ignasiak
Tasted together with the second edition. This one is a bit harsher, peppery, a banana bread note, almonds, some esters but not too much, citrus, even a slight vegetable note, alcohol not that well integrated, but the finish is pleasant. Overall I felt the second edition is a much rounder one.
Review by Christian Rudt
Comes in comparison to the second edition first on the nose a little more elegant. Nice bananig, then some citrus on the palate but then for me also a little more bitter, since I like the second actually ne corner better at this moment.But otherwise similar and also great rum.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Once rested this is really nice and hits really well on both the nose and palate. An intense yet really well balanced rum and the nose was was really nice in the empty glass. Even the day after the glass gave some wonderful notes.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
me personally pure a little too spicy. Beautiful cookie dough
Review by RumTaTa
Great rum, nose, palate and finish are very homogeneous.First and funk are in the foreground and the alcohol is well integrated.Compared to the "Second edition" very similar, possibly a little milder.
Review by Serge
Verkostet gegen die 6 Monate ältere Schwesterabfüllung. Beide echte Knaller und sehr vergleichbar. Erinnert mich an der Nase an orientalische Mandel-Grieß Patisserie. Wundervoll.
Review by Rene Pfeiffer
Top high ester rum with nice honey notes in the otherwise quite dry finish.
Review by Oliver
