Rum Shark New Yarmouth 1994
Woody, creamy and laced with butterscotch, this 26-year tropically-aged New Yarmouth balances chocolate, baking spice and a funky Jamaican edge against tropical fruit. At 69% it should bite, but tasters keep noting the heat hides — one called it the best Rum Shark he's ever had. Long, slightly bitter, spicy-wood finish. A serious, well-aged column-still Jamaican that rewards slow sipping.
- Long-aged complexity
- Funky NY character
- Heat hides well

Woody, creamy, well-aged Jamaican funk Members rate this very highly — woody, creamy, chocolatey with classic NY funk and a long spiced finish. Several were amazed the 69% barely shows. A standout long-aged Jamaican.

Review by Matej
My first New Yarmouth. My friend told me about this rum and he was 100% right. This is top rum from Rum Shark. Aroma is very woody, buttery/creamy with combination of chocolate. I noticed combination of fruit and technical aroma. Taste is again very woody. I noticed chocolate flavor, spice and creamy flavor. This rum in a way reminds me Blue Ocean Caroni from RS but this New Yarmouth has that funky vibe which I love in Jamaican rums. Finish is long with bitter, spice and wood flavour. Love the color, arome and taste in my opinion it is better sample than Blue Ocean Caroni 1991. I was surprised with 69% ABV but you will not feel that at all. Great, great rum.
