Aroma visualization from community tastings
The Wild Parrot New Yarmouth NY Distillery 1994
Herbs, anise and a resinous, almost medicinal edge run right through this one — the trait everyone latches onto. Underneath sit the usual New Yarmouth marks: roasted oak, vanilla, dried apricot and fig from 26 tropical years. At 68% it hits hard and dry, so add water. A few tasters missed the classic chocolate and dried-fruit weight; most found the herbal streak the whole reason to pour it.
The community says- Distinct herbal streak
- Deep tropical oak
- But: Fierce at 68%

Herbal, anise-driven New Yarmouth at cask strength Most rate it highly — an unusual, herb-and-anise-driven New Yarmouth that rewards the curious. A couple felt the cask pushed the herbal note too far.

Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
The nose is resinous, acidic and fruity, with extremely overripe aromas. Glue, caramel and vanilla complete the aromatic bouquet. The nose is intense, very rich and concentrated. Beautiful. The palate remains extreme, as it too is extremely intense. The attack is frank, with its 68% alcohol content. After 26 years of tropical aging, there's no doubt that wood has taken its place in this rum. The profile is heavier and less gourmand than the nose, with a herbaceous, medicinal note that disturbs me.

Palate Light roasted wood, spicy, fruits, light floral, herbs, fruits, light medicinal, faint caramel. Finish Medium to long, wood, roasted, spicy, light herbs, faint mint, citrus.
Review by Jakob
After some inquiries, it seems at least not to be excluded that my sample could no longer ensure a correct reproduction of the real character of this rum. Otherwise, it would be a complete mystery to me what happened here. This has nothing in common with the familiar profile of all the other New Yarmouth 1994 bottlings I know, much more the aromas in my glass arouse the suspicion that a herbal schnapps-like distillate was bottled here. Until the tasting of a reference sample therefore without rating. Update: Finally tasted again with an independent, second sample. The herbal note remains present, but the first sample lacked almost any New Yarmouth-typical note. This does not prove true in the second sample, the NY DNA is present, but the herbal note remains present.
