Woody and buttery up front, with chocolate, tropical fruit and a solvent edge that marks it as New Yarmouth. Members lean on words like creamy, caramel and "that funky vibe" from a tropically-aged Jamaican. At 26 years and 69% it drinks far calmer than the number suggests — tasters keep saying they barely feel the ABV. Long, spicy, slightly bitter finish.
The community says- Deep woody chocolate
- Creamy, complex body

How does Rum Shark New Yarmouth 1994 taste?
Summarized by AI from community reviews.
Woody, creamy tropical-aged Jamaican at cask strength People who tried it rate it near the top of Rum Shark's output — deep wood, cream and chocolate over Jamaican funk. The only real catch is availability and that fierce 69% strength.

Review by Pavel Spacek
Beautifully sweet, creamy, like caramel. Great choice for rum lovers who want to transition from sweet syrups to pure distillate. New Yarmouth 1994 rarely disappoints. This is a great choice you'll always be happy to return to.

Finish Long and warm, light wood, faint smoke, cherry, light nutts, spice. Empty glass Fruit cake, vanilla, light chocolate, light mint, faint licorice.

Very good tropically matured NY. Without direct comparison in a league with the RA!
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 (series 1). Aroma is very woody, buttery/creamy with combination of chocolate. I noticed combination of fruit and technical scent. 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. I was surprised with 69% ABV but you will not feel that at all. Great, great rum. To be honest I decided to re-write my opinion and this one is the best sample I have had… yet. Need another sample to try.
Review by Tomas Hajlich
This piece from the New Yarmouth distillery is one of the best rums I've ever had! And it's absolutely the best RumShark. The 1994 vintage is legendary. Beautiful mahogany color, woody taste complemented by caramel, tropical fruit, and a long finish. 69% is not noticeable.
Review by Czech_Rum_Enthusiast
One of the best rums I’ve ever tasted and definitely the best Rum Shark ever!
