Brett💥🤯green apple, cookie dough, honey, pineapple, lots of ester and nail polish on the nose. Lemon zest, ginger cookies, pineapple jam and butter cookies with green granny Smith in the taste..very very cool, absolutely on par with CDI SBS, to find a winner here is really day form dependent. this one has in any case the most glue and ester in comparison... which is almost too crass for me in the finish!😅hard to make a decision here!🙈

Oh yes, Granate unter den New Yarmouth Granaten. Haben mir die 94er und 2009er schon mehr als sehr gut gefallen, ist das der, der über allen steht, egal von welchem Jahrgang. Glaube kaum, dass noch irgendeine andere New Yarmouth Abfüllungen egal aus welchem Jahr, den hier das Wasser reichen kann. DANKE DANKE SaibotZtar das ich nicht nur ein Sample bekommen habe, sondern auch noch eine Flasche von Dir :-)))

Blind hatte ich diesen Rum für einen Hampden gehalten. Nase mit super viel Frucht, Ester und Klebstoff - extremer Stoff! Der Gaumen ist zu Beginn sehr adrstingierend. Dem folgt aber eine intensive fruchtig Süße. Zum Nachklang hin gibt es eine Wendung in Richtung trocken und Oliven Ein ausgezeichneter New Yarmouth Rum mit einem weiten, intensiven aromatischen Spektrum.

Für mich die Speerspitze der 2005 New Yarmouths… dicht gefolgt von der Cave Guildive Abfüllung. Machen beide mega Spass. Wer hier vor Jahren beim Release zugegriffen hat ist zu beneiden. Super schöne Frucht-Ester Noten mit gut eingebundenem Alkohol.

One of the best Jamaica NY for me !!! My reference in the 2005 range. Grenade . Incredibly fruity and funky ... an almost divine Nectar !!! Brutally good in Mai Tai ... Too bad that there are only a few bottles left.
