New Yarmouth RA NYE 1994
Dried fruit, caramel and roasted oak lead here, with only a faint whiff of glue and solvent late on. This 25-year New Yarmouth surprises people: it drinks more like an aged Demerara or Foursquare than a classic funky Jamaican. Give it a good hour in the glass and the spice, chocolate and dark fruit open up. The 67.7% is there, but most find it beautifully integrated.
The community says- Deep complexity
- Great ABV integration
- Dried fruit & oak

How does New Yarmouth RA NYE 1994 taste?
Aggregated from 171 community reviews.
Mature, low-ester NY, spicy and woody Many call it the benchmark of the 1994 New Yarmouth batch. Complex, mature and low-ester, it rewards patience. The only real gripe: the high ABV needs time and a little water for some.

Review by Piotr Ignasiak
Reminds me of a Foursquare mixed with Guyana. Heavy wood influence with intense nut and chocolate notes, some coconut, dried fruit. A bit of alcohol sharpness is noticeable but doesn't interfere too much. On the late finish, some pineapple creeps in.
Review by Oliver
Appleton in adult. Very cool! Highlight from the 1994 New Yarmouth series.
Review by Galli33
Very complex rum…. Wonderful notes of various fruits, dried fruits, chocolate, ester, leather… also a bitter and tar note, minty finish reminds me of caroni! This has so many tastes to explore, amazing A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one 😎 A very long harmonious warm finish full of various notes , round off this fantastic rum! Summary: It‘s for me one of the best rums, among which I tried so far. Alcohol is integrated very well for 67%
Review by SaibotZtar
For me one of (if not THE) best NY 1994 . Every drop an incredible experience of complexity and balance ... A real bargain at the time. Also a bomb in May Tai .
Review by Johannes
A real board! For me the best NY94! He remains for me the benchmark of the meanwhile many bottled NY94!
Review by RumTaTa
Second tasting together with the Swell NY 1994: Rating unchanged, the Swell is ahead for me What strikes me first: the nose is super smooth despite the almost 70% alcohol! That's a very promising start. Otherwise there's a lot of caramel and dried fruit. The rum seems to be closer to the Spanish style than the English. The alcohol is very evident on the palate. But in harmony with an incredibly balanced performance The finish is medium long and more on the toasty side and reminds me a lot of Foursquare Patrimonio and co. Super rum with an unexpectedly mild but very good overall impression.
Review by DomM
So far my favorite out of the 94 NY batch.
Review by cigares
Everything is balanced on the nose and the flavors are equal: milk chocolate, menthol, fruit, caramel and wood. A slight spiciness at the start, but then everything is as balanced as on the nose. The finish is long and perfect! In my opinion, the best NY 94 of the evening. The difference is in the balance of flavors, perfect here. And a dream finish.
Review by Mirco
Starker New Yarmouth mit viel Ausdruck. In der Nase intensive Fruchtester, reife Banane, Ananas und etwas Klebstoff, dazu Vanille und eine schöne Würze. Am Gaumen dicht und kraftvoll mit viel Frucht, Gewürzen und Holz, alles ordentlich konzentriert. Wirkt typisch 94er JG, mit viel Tiefe und Druck, ohne komplett auszukippen. Gute Abfüllung.
Review by Maxence
My first New Yarmouth. Very pleasant profile with round notes and some fruits. Alcohol integration is great as well. Nice one !
Review by Joachim Guger
What for others are the Caroni vintage 1996 or the Hampden vintage 1990, is for me the New Yarmouth 1994.Absolute favorite!Compared to the Rome Deluxe, this one is a bit woodier, less fruit, less round and the alcohol stings a bit more in the mouth.Here I like the wonderful, solid maturity of the wood, unlike the fine cedar of the Agricoles, it is here oak with lots of tannin.The fitting music: "Surfin'" by Ernest Ranglin.
Review by Tschusikowsky
BÄMM👊🏼 Simply sensational! Everything the profile has to offer. Top balance with power and intensity. Wonderful interplay of aromas, straightforward without being boring. Great finish that lasts a long time. Extremely enjoyable to drink.
Review by Basti
The nose is very inviting and balanced with dried fruit, caramel, winter spices, wood and floral undertones. Super round on the palate. ABV very well integrated. For me at the top of the 94 NY!
Review by Rodolphe
It's super gourmand on the nose, not very fruity but very pastry-like. The palate is totally in keeping with this beautiful nose. The only reason I can't find it exceptional is 67.7! Too much alcohol. You have to wait a very long time for the alcohol to release the other aromas before you can drink it. A little reduction would certainly have been beneficial.
Review by Jeremy Roger 🇫🇷
It's very greedy on the nose and really doesn't disappoint on the palate 👌Fruit caramelized, toasted and slightly spicy. All very well balanced❤ A treat. Maybe lacks a reduction to be perfect 🤔

Review by Rene Pfeiffer
Insanely intense in taste. Smooth and round. A top rum. The SBS has more coconut than the VM, the RA is more intense and for me a little better overall than the SBS and VM.
Review by Martin Augustin
A very nice rum experience, so much in advance. On the nose, you encounter vanilla, caramel and coconut. There is also glue and nutmeg. The strength is noticeable in the taste, but in a very pleasant way. Vanilla, pepper, caramel and dark chocolate. Very intense. It then lingers incredibly long and warm. Great rum.

A phenomenal rum at an unbeatable price! Powerful, complex and perfectly matured. Super in the MaiTai!
Expert review by The Dunder Hut
I have forgotten how straightforward this rum actually is. A real powerhouse and still the roundest and best of the batch. Fruit with rather young vibrant woods and never dominating ester. Quit a ride
