9.5/10

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.
