Review by DomM
Very nice bottling out of the New Yarmouth 2009 range with high intensity on the nose and palate. Classic cookie dough notes with sweetness and some fruits. For me actually even a bit better than the RA single cask bottling. Also looking into some other 2009 casks, this bottling really shines. For me the high intensity and density both on the nose and palate put this one in the very top.
Review by Dr.Django
Some people are already familiar with the 2009 vintage of New Yarmouth. For my part, I like these bottlings. In direct comparison to the 2009 New Yarmouth from TWJ, this RA is much wilder, has more funk and a much longer finish. I like it a little more. Second tasting (+4 points)
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
super brilliant part, mMn better than the first JNY of RA. Alcohol is clearly better incorporated and taste it has become much more complex and milder, flavors of nuts, cookie dough

#4 RumXHighE(a)ster weeks: Blind tasting: C<>H 20 years of aging 55-60% high ester First taste, reminds me immediately of a C<>H Result: Lovely fruity, esterbomb. The alcohol is integrated very well. Still not on the level of 94‘
Review by Christian Rudt
After some rum break started with proven. Find this mixture of brine and ester what I find here today just great. Am not sure how the rum has changed in the meantime, but I should drink more of it 😅In the blind tasting not recognized but this drop has such a complexity since it needs its time. Has mighty power and reverberates. Great cinema! At the nose you have to pass but first 😄 but then you can go on the trip! 😋Very nice bottling that shows typical ester and glue notes. Slightly astringent on the palate. As far as actually good - very good Jamaica standard. Here knows then especially the beautiful, slightly salty finish with some marzipan and fruity creaminess to convince.
Review by SaibotZtar
Top!!! A little less funky than the first edition. Nice and fruity, marzipan and shortbread. I really like the younger, wilder NY's ... Still one of the best NY's especially in terms of PLV... those were the days 😩
Review by zabo
Edit: After a long time, finally back in the glass and still amazing. What an awesome ester bomb. New Yarmouth is really my thing, I think. Thanks to Mariano56 for the last sample, that was the bottle kill! Luckily, thanks to this forum, I was lucky enough to get another bottle. Thanks again for that.

This is a great NY. Well balanced and fruity from opening the bottle to the finish. All the nice funky Jamaica notes are there and I love the marzipan in the finish. Price to quality is very good.
Review by lukasdrinkinghabits
Tasted for the first time in months:The nose: very fruity with some acidity. prominent banana, overripe fruit salad, overripe pineapple, dried banana, orange peel, also sweet dough and from the wood a touch of vanilla. In the mouth the fruity esters salty, sour and then the smoky and herbaceous notes of curry leaves, black pepper, some wood. Not super complex, but easy-sipping thanks to fantastic alcohol integration. On the finish, the fruit disappears, the spice lingers. The creamy smokiness is reminiscent of bacon. Still a super rum ( 1 point)!
Review by Adrian Wahl
What an awesome stuff. Maybe a tad behind the First Edition, but mega good.
Review by cigares
A young New Yarmouth that's a welcome change from the 1994s, with a funky nose of alcohol and raisins. Sensational on the palate, once past the alcohol's sting, very round and smooth. The aromas fill the mouth cavity. The finish is very long, with floral and tropical fruit notes. It ends on citrus notes: lime and tangerine at the very end.

Review by Jakob
Leckerer Jamaikaner mit jugendlicher Frische und angenehmem Gegenpol aus dezenten Gewürzen, etwas röstigem Holzeinfluss und leichter Süsse. Erstaunlich rund und einer der besten jungen Jamaikaner.
Review by Serge
Tasted against the 6 months older sister bottling. Both real bangers and very comparable.slightly more wood maturity but very very similar. I prefer the first version because of the nicer almond-biscuit note
Review by Stylo
C: pale yellow N: buttery, tropical fruits (pineapple, mango, unriped banana), floral on the background. Hints of minerals slowly coming through. I sense something citrusy (lemon peel, maybe?). P: definitely citrusy and slightly mineral on the first sip. The ABV is significant, could be over 60%. The astringency is also relevant. The palate is creamy, buttery, yogurt, then again fruits (mango, pineapple). As time goes by, I sense more floral notes even on the palate. F: lemony, roasted coffee beans, just a touch on the bitter end. Hints of wood and earthy.
