Vidya New Yarmouth The River Mumma 2005

Here my expectations were met 100%. The 2 additional years in the barrel round off the already very horny 2005 new Yarmouth very much, here are almost no corners and edges more to find and becomes extremely Süffig! Banana bread

Love it, love it! Need more!

Nose: full can of esters! Glue and (overripe) pineapple. A few drops of water make the rum seem rounder.Mouth: very warming with a bitter fruitiness. The barrel is noticeable here. The flavors from the nose repeat powerfully, great!Finish: nice smooth transition to dark chocolate with candied orange peelAn extremely powerful Jamaica rum. I could just smell it for hours, very tasty!

This one was the odd one out at the tasting and what a way to close the evening. A very fresh and fruity rum once rested. The balance between the flavors is almost a perfect symphony and I like how well the ABV has been integrated. The flavours were there from opening and pouring and the empty glas was really nice at the end of the evening.

An absolute top rum! New Yarmouth of the finest kind!

Nose of acetone , rum ,slight honey , Small bit of oak . 2nd nosing canned peaches in the background 1st tasting front palletter Oranges , more acetone , FUNK Mid pallete Oak and Jamaican heaven Finish Goes on for a long time , more fruity notes with high powered finish of rum

A very seductive rum, a beautiful tropical fruit salad.

Confondu avec un c<>h de hampden ... petite pépite. J'aime bcp car on a de la longueur, de la fraîcheur, de la gourmandise, ... tout ça sans que ça attaque de trop non plus, un peu moins acide que d'autres high esters que j'ai pu goûter. On a du beurre rance, des fruits mûrs, avec les solvants un peu moins presents que sur d'autres high esters. Très bien

Blenders Glass.Balance 22Total 89Nose: herbal, fresh, citrusy, fruity 23Taste: aggressive and young, it is better to add a couple of drops of water. With water and the flavor becomes brighter and the taste reveals. Mint, lime, herbal bitterness 22Finish: long, fresh (citrus), spicy (pepper) 22

ester level in the red range 😜 This is then also confirmed by a look at the Vidya website: Marque NYE/WM, so on par with HD C<>H. So it comes across on the nose, fermented fruit, sour buttermilk, and neat nail polish. The fine pastry notes that are often added to the high-ester HDs, I can't find here, unfortunately. The palate is less brute, more spice (somehow also spice like peppernuts) and wood barrel. The finish is quite 'digestible' compared to the often quite sour HD high-ester colleagues ... I like it overall!

Nose is very good with High-Ester notes of polish and a bit of oak. Palate is very sour. Finish is long.

The nose already makes a clear announcement: Ester full blast! Marzipan, fermented fruit and nail polish. The palate is insanely intense with tropical, (overripe) fruits, varnish and marzipan. With a few drops of water, the nose opens up again and the (brut) rum becomes more approachable. Wow, this high ester rum is really fun!Great representative of Funky New Yarmouth! Since I look forward to a cross-tastings with the rums of CDI.

87 points. Very nice nose with a ton of flavors. Even more flavors in the mouth but rather easy sipping. A great NY with tons of nail polish, fermented fruits and a good dose of esters.
