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.

After some inquiries, it seems at least not impossible that my sample could no longer provide a correct representation of the true character of this rum. Otherwise, I would be completely baffled as to what happened here. This no longer has anything in common with the familiar profile of all other New Yarmouth 1994 bottlings known to me; rather, the aromas in my glass suggest that a herbal liqueur-like distillate was bottled here. Therefore, no rating until tasting a reference sample. Update: Finally tried again with an independent second sample. The herbal note remains present, but the first sample lacked almost any typical New Yarmouth note. This is not confirmed in the second sample, the NY DNA is present, but the herbal note remains present.

Very interesting New Yarmouth. Interesting "candy touch" with herbs.

Review by Skyfly
A very different 1994 New Yarmouth. Vanilla and wood are present as usual. Much stronger herbal notes from nose to finish. For that, I miss the typical notes of chocolate and dried fruits. Alcohol is well integrated.
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.

Whisky cask destroys the beautiful rum.
Review by Александр Иванов
The last one, after Valinch & Mallet, Samaroli, and L'Esprit, it's the Wild Parrot, New Yarmouth 1994. It's a same vintage, and it's also a same type of distillation - column rum. Very high alcohol, so recommend add a water. Nose: Little bit different. Medium intense. This one have some herbals, and, of course, the classic notes, like three previously: lot of dark, roasted oak. Some interesting spices, like nutmeg, mace, vanilla, maybe cardamon & touch of bergamot. Still enough of dry fruits, like apricots, figs & dates. Some sweet notes of biscuits. Actually, it's very close to previously, but this herbals are intriguing. Palate: quite sour, bright, little bit bitter. Orange peels oil, anise, roasted oak, some bitterness, like coal, again this herbals. Some medicine note. Bitter, sweet candies fruits. Vanilla & dry fruits. White pepper. Aftertaste: quite long, little bit sweet, white pepper, spicy, vanilla. Some herbals, mint & anise. Conclusion: ok, this sample more simple, but have interesting herbals & anise notes. Actually it's a very interesting, to compare same vintage between different bottlers. Unfortunately, it was a full column New Yarmouth, except maybe the first one, but I'm not sure.

Vintage 1994. With 8.2 out of 10, it's a very good bottle, though not at the top of my ranking.
Review by Rosenbech
leave for 45 min - lots of character, a little sweetness and spices

Expert review by The Dunder Hut
The poor content met it's maker with whatever cask did violence to it. A weird stench of herbs and aniseeds. Not really something I am in to. Weird and destroyed whatever it is it's not lively and not lovely
