Romdeluxe New Yarmouth Wild Series Rum Jamaica No. 39 NYE/WK 2019
One member called it "a Jamaica rum on steroids," and that's the honest picture. New Yarmouth ester funk hits hard: glue, overripe tropical fruit, marzipan and a touch of smoke, all at a brutal 84.7%. Most tasters say rest it and add water or it bites. Wild and fun, but its young age shows — several wished for more barrel time.
The community says- Intense ester funk
- Marzipan and tropical fruit
- But: Young, lacks complexity

How does Romdeluxe New Yarmouth Wild Series Rum Jamaica No. 39 NYE/WK 2019 taste?
Aggregated from 25 community reviews.
Brutal, young New Yarmouth ester bomb Loved by funk fans as a fruity, glue-heavy ester bomb with the alcohol shockingly well integrated. The common gripe: too young, could use more time in the cask.

This is a retasting with the RumX guys. ----- This is a Jamaica rum on steroids, not only because of the ABV, but also the profile itself. Many will probably need to add water because it's like a hammer of flavours. Make sure to rest it for a good while or it will bite, shred and spit you out in a flash. From pouring the nose already reveals where it's from and it just gets better from there. A very intense and complex rum with an oily touch to the palate. Nice fruitiness and I really like the marzipan note in there. Price to quality is pretty good 😊

Post-tasting from the Pueblo del Ron in Nuremberg, where I picked up the sample at Rom de Luxe. I like the nose quite well, but it's a bit rough on the palate. For me, it clearly falls into the category of overpriced, too-short Rom de Luxe experiments. I would need a little more wood ageing for a pleasurable sipping experience and would then be more willing to pay the price.
Review by Leo Krüper
Great nose with lots of power and some smoke on the back. Some BBQ flavors already noticeable, but also glue. I could smell it all day long. A lot in the mouth at once. Glue also dominates some chemical notes without being too unpleasant. Quite balanced despite the 85% and quite drinkable. Lots of salivation in the finish and again lots of glue. Overall, it seems young and powerful (which it is). Even if it is difficult with the high percentages, I would have wished for longer storage here. In my opinion, the HGML from the GRF was noticeably better and more balanced. Price/availability is not an issue.
Review by DomM
Nice and intense bottling. Vast basket of tropical fruits and funky esters combined with marzipan and cookie notes. Compared to the RDL HGML, the latter had a more pronounced impact from the barrel putting it ahead of the NY we have here.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
New Yarmouth almost in its purest form, surprisingly smooth for just under 85%. It's amazing how well the alcohol is integrated and how well the virgin oak works here. Romdeluxe really knows how to integrate extremely high percentages well.
Review by Thunderbird
What a beast, but in a positive sense! The nose impresses with glue, ester, marzipan and vanilla; all very pronounced! On the palate, everything immediately tightens up, which is natural given the volume of alcohol. It then spreads out oily, esters and glue spread out and are then replaced by a marzipan sweetness and light woodiness. A rather noticeable sour note also asserts itself. All of this with a strong intensity. The finish is long, accompanied by marzipan, wood and tart tropical fruit. In contrast to the HGML, this is simply "wild" but good! But definitely not easy to tame!
Review by Galli33
Kabooom👊🏻 As soon as you take the cap off, you get a full load of esters and glue (UHU), overripe fruit with delicate marzipan notes. The palate continues with a brute force... The high ester levels make it very furry and astringent. The finish is long, dry, a little astringent, the tropical fruit and marzipan linger on. The alcohol is surprisingly well integrated. It lacks complexity due to its young age, but is still fun (not recommended for beginners)!
Review by Adrian Wahl
Wow was für eine Granate. Das Ding ist wild. Auch nach 30 Minuten Atmen beruhigt sich die Nase nicht. NYE ist sofort erkennbar, aber klarer Fokus auf die frischen und jüngeren high Ester NYE. Vom aging im NYE 1994 Fass riecht man nichts. Am Gaumen ebenfalls wild. Ester und Frucht geben ordentlich Gas. Auch hier ist das aging im NYE 1994 Fass nicht wirklich spürbar. Für mich persönlich nicht so rund wie der GRF HGML, etwas mehr Zeit im Fass hätte geholfen. Alkohol sehr gut eingebunden was eine Kunst ist bei diesem ABV. Krasses Produkt, aber leider auch krasser Preis. Wenn man das Alter bedenkt.
Review by zabo
Tasted at the Pueblo del Ron Nuremberg 2024. Thanks to the guys from Romdeluxe who gave me this one. With the ABV, this is already a real board. A good "beginner's rum". Joking aside, it's good, but the bottle would be too expensive for the €179 it costs.
Review by Joachim Guger
Voll in die Fresse! So einen starken Rum hatte ich noch nie. Junger, funkiger NY. Jetzt nicht mein Beuteschema, aber sehr gut.
Review by Schleepie
Wieder eine Ester-Bombe aus dem Hause RDL. Etwas „milder“ als Nummer 32, vielleicht fehlt eine Spur Frucht. Alkohol gekonnt eingebunden, auch wenn das eine echte Holzhammer-Abfüllung ist. Ester all over, viel Kleber und Funk. Fruchtig ohne Ende, sehr tropisch. Adstringierend ohnegleichen - zieht einem den Mund brutal zusammen. Vielleicht etwas scharf, aber sehr nah am HGML. Könnte runder sein, ein Jährchen mehr im Fass hätte nicht geschadet. Spannender Rum und fantastischer Partygag. Lecker.
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
Au nez, c'est résineux, acide et fruité sur des arômes extrêmement sur mûris. De la colle, du caramel et de la vanille complète ce bouquet aromatique. On est dans l'extrême, le nez est intense, très riche et concentré. C’est beau. On reste dans les extrêmes sur la bouche, puisqu’elle est, elle aussi, extrêmement intense. L'attaque est franche avec ses 84.7% au compteur. On retrouve un profil plus lourd et huileux. Le joli fruité du nez est toujours présent ainsi que de la pâte d’amande. La finale, en plus d’être très longue, déboussole sur des notes empyreumatiques et d'épices extrêmes. Quelle expérience ! Clairement pas pour les cœurs fragiles, parce que c’est quand même drôlement intense. Mais après une dégustation de haut vol comme celle-ci (il s’agissait du 9ème rhum de la soirée), quoi de plus normal que d’affronter positivement cet OVNI. Incroyable dégustation (que ce soit la quantité et la qualité). Merci Romdeluxe et les anarchystes (Salva et Alain) de nous avoir organisé cette masterclass topissime.
Review by Pavel Spacek
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.
