Tasted after a still unbottled Savana (surprise, surprise Belgium), I still had a blast.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
sensational new yarmouth. cookie dough, very fresh menthol and allspice, creamy, harmonious and just more cookie dough and spice than the cave Guildive what I find simply hornier. and overall a little more harmonious and quaffable by the almost 3% less alcohol.simply gigantically good stuff!
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
I love this one. A lot of bang right off the bat and once rested you get a very fruity rum on the nose. The esters, glue and and menthol is there and it's kind of intense on a very nice way. The funk is there and a wonderful oily feel on the palate.

Absoluter Wahnsinn! Jamaica Funk at its best
Review by Frank
24th day of the Christmas calendar. Blind! For me it was typical Hampden and a really great one... but then it was a NY ... Nose: a bit biting at first. Then come fine esters, fine glue, fermented pineapple and very ripe banana, the whole deposited with a light vinegar note. Totally round. Palate: quite astringent at the beginning. Then the fine esters. Sweetish acidity, like flambéed, grilled pineapple. Almost creamy and buttery. Almond and a little aniseed at the back. Also very round on the palate. A totally good NY and a worthy end to the Christmas calendar!!!

Still super the second time I get to test this one.
Review by SaibotZtar
Great !!! NY at its best, at least for me. Great fruit, lots of ester, marzipan and an incredible mouthfeel. Together with the SBS 2005 my personal reference when it comes to New Yarmouth (2005). Unfortunately really hard to get at a reasonable price.
Review by Mike H.
Extremely funky NY with a lot of fruit. Quite impressive.
Review by Johannes
One of the best NY for me!
Review by John Coffey
Très bon.. Mais il me manque quelque chose.. Assez pâtissier.. Pas mal porté sur les fruits et un côté floral..

"Even more aromatic than the comparative bottling of CDI. Spicier and slightly less sweet in taste. Allspice and pepper come to the fore very present next to the cookie dough and the fruit basket. A fantastic bottling!"
