The following 94 New Yarmouths were in the blind tasting glass The preliminary result 1ST RX10164 2. RX12050 3. RX12183 4. RX10531 5. RX16026 6. RX10419 7. RX13113 8. RX10167 9. RX15643 10.

RX6983 Edit: Franconian Tasting Rating confirmed The 94 New Yarmouth vintage remains and is a real cracker. No matter which bottling I've had in my glass so far, I've never been disappointed. I had almost forgotten about it due to the saporization. It's been standing for quite a long time now and it's been really great. Simply delicious how the aromas have been released. I can now smell and taste hazelnut, it smells like you're holding your nose in a Nutella jar. Very, very tasty!!!

#4249 Getting my hands on these Colours of Rum samples isn't easy. But once I get some I'm never disappointed because the bar is usually pretty high. I rested this one for 30 minutes before giving it a go and the nose developed as time passed. This particular release is a non funky Jamaican and I still love it. Fruity and roasted wood with ABV really well integrated. Love the medicinal and caramel notes in the profile. Draws really nice curtains in the glass and the empty has some coconut, ginger and chocolate.

Seamlessly joins the ranks of the excellent and extremely tasty New Yarmouth releases from 1994. Balanced, wonderful sweetness, even the high alcohol content plays along. Excellent rum.

9:On the nose, the first impression we get is very attractive with roasted/charred wood notes like butterscotch, pastry, from spices vanilla and tropical fruits, especially toasted coconut and some orange peel.Molasses is flowing underneath, as some varnish could be notice. On aeration, even more charred notes arise, like crème brûlée, nuts, burnt sugar, that balance a first part of our tasting. 8,7:On the palate, the attack is very attractive again with charred wood notes like caramel, marzipan, nuts, spicy with vanilla and lots of different exotic fruits like banana, toasted coconut, dried apricots and later orange.Resting the rum brings earthiness, vegetal molasses, some dark chocolate and a bit unpleasant ginger. 8,6:The finish is long, with the palate notes lingering on, dry and tannic, spicier with ginger and even chilli,there is some tobacco...

Beautifully sweet, creamy, like caramel. A great choice for rum drinkers who want to switch from sweet syrups to pure spirit. New Yarmouth 1994 rarely disappoints. This is a great choice that you will always want to come back to.
