The Wild Parrot New Yarmouth NY Distillery 1994
Herbs, anise and a faint candy-caramel edge lead this 26-year tropical-aged New Yarmouth from The Wild Parrot. At 68% the attack is fierce, with resinous overripe fruit, oak and a medicinal streak. Members find it a real departure from the usual 1994 profile — one calls it almost herbal-schnapps-like, and that medicinal note divides people.
The community says- Intense herbal character
- 26-Year tropical aging
- But: Divisive medicinal note

The look inside the bottle
How does The Wild Parrot New Yarmouth NY Distillery 1994 taste?
Aggregated from 32 community reviews.
Intense, herbal, medicinal old Jamaican Divisive even among New Yarmouth fans. Some love the intense herbal, spicy, resinous character; others feel the cask pushed it toward a medicinal, herbal-liqueur profile that lost the usual chocolate and dried fruit.

04.09.2022 Meeting up for a nice after event party at my hotel. Good rum and food spread over a full day. Nose Wood, roasted, citrus, light herbs, floral, light caramel, anise. 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 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.
Review by Oliver
Very interesting New Yarmouth. Interesting "candy touch" with herbs.
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.
