26.07.2025 Retasting and I still like it a lot. -------------- #5086 Saturday 24.01.2025 - 26.01.2025 A nice weekend in my sisters summerhouse with old friends and colleagues tasting a lot of rums. I can only recommend like we did, no phones allowed and then only music in the background 😊 Colour Dark to very dark in colour. Nose Wood, ester, fruity, overripe, light polish, banana, light pineapple, spice. Palate Wood, medium dry, warm, ester, fruity, overripe, banana, light citrus, faint chocolate, faint floral. Finish Long and warm, fruity, wood, banana, light glue, light citrus. Empty glass Light sour, wood, vanilla, light chocolate, light pineapple.

Würzige Ester, so würde ich den Rum beschreiben. Das Virgin Oak hat hervorragende Arbeit geleistet, was wirklich hervorzuheben ist, denn die Lagerung in einem solchen Fass kann auch schnell fürchterlich schiefgehen. Hier aber ist meines Erachtens genau zum richtigen Zeitpunkt abgefüllt worden. Auch im Mai Tai zusammen mit dem Red Barrel äußerst lecker. Für mich die positive Überraschung des Präsentationsabends von Ed. 49 und 50 des Rumclubs. Ich prophezeie: Der Rum wird weggehen wie warme Semmeln (German saying). Update 2025-02-27: Nochmals in Ruhe verkostet und den ersten Eindruck vor drei Monaten bestätigt. Toller Rum!

Wieder einmal hat RC ordentlich abgeliefert! Chapeau! Ein toller Rum, wo das Virgin Oak Fass zeigt was es kann! Sehr gut zum Mixen in Cocktails (MaiTai 😎🤪). Klarerweise auch pur geniesbar, jedoch kein Easy sipper 😉😬
Review by zabo
Edit: von mal zu mal schmeckt er mir im MaiTai besser. Nach oben korrigiert So endlich doch mal das Sample verkostet. Ja es ist ein New Yarmouth nicht zu leugnen. Jedoch sehr jung, wild und alkoholisch. Im Nachhinein betrachtet ein wenig zu überbewertet für mich. Pur sehr ungestüm. Als Mixer ganz nice, aber wenn man den Preis auf 0,7l hochrechnet eher Mittelfeld und nicht der Mega Schnapper
Review by SaibotZtar
Young wild New Yarmouth... My expectations weren't really all that high, so I'm all the more surprised. Glue, tropical fruits, lots of marzipan and yet also a portion of woodiness. A little too alcoholic on its own, but that's probably due to its young age. In May Tai a real stunner, very fruity and biscuity, super tasty.
Review by Adrian Wahl
For this price, it's awesome! Ages much older and more mature than the four years. I'm not the biggest Virgin Oak fan, but this was great.
Review by LukaŽiga
8,5:On the nose, the first impression we get are esters and glue, perhaps polish, then fruits come in with tropical pineapple, banana and roasted wood notes like chocolate and caramel. On aeration, the fruits are also yellow bourbon, mango and a hint of coconut.The wood gives us spices and pastry, perhaps a hint of cookie dough. 8,4:On the palate, the attack is funky, estery with glue, maybe varnish and tropical fruits like mango, banana, yellow fruits and bergamot, a bit alcoholic. The wood is roasted with pastry, marzipan, perhaps cookie dough, spicy with vanilla, baking spices, a bit salty.Fruits become candied after resting and dried with apricots, raisins, a molasses herbaceous.There is also a hint of coconut. 8,4:The finish is long, dry with roasted wood notes, tropical, yellow fruits and spicy..
Review by Lukas Jäger
Spannend! New Yarmouth ist ja ein kleines Mysterium und Single Casks daher immer spannend. Hier jetzt also ein junger wilder, dem man mit einem Virgin Oak beikommen wollte. Ich hatte zuerst eine Ester-Bombe wie die 2009er Abfüllungen erwartet und wenn auch ordentlich Ester vorhanden sind, hat dieser Rum doch ein etwas anderes Profil. Weniger Keksteig (wenn auch erkennbar), dafür dunkel, würzig und holzig. Das jungfräuliche Fass ht stark gearbeitet, ohne den Rum mit Holz und Bitternoten zu überlagern. Ich könnte mir durchaus vorstellen, dass 2020 in einigen Jahren (und in klassischeren Fässern) durchaus starke Abfüllungen erzeugt. Aktuell auf jeden Fall ein gutes und preislich auch interessantes Bottling, das ich mir auch gut im Mai Tai vorstellen könnte.
Review by Timo Groeger
Nach dem Chalong Bay eben ist dieser New Yarmouth eine richtige Wohltat. Typisches Jamaika Profil, wir haben hier tropische Früchte, vor allem Banane und Ananas, sowie auch viel Ester. Echt ein guter und leckerer Rum.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Basically delicious New Yarmouth with lots of tropical fermented fruit, cookie dough and plenty of funk and glue. For me, however, the virgin oak is definitely a little too dominant and adds too much tannin and a certain sharpness and acidity that I find rather annoying. However, I can really imagine it in a Mai tai.
Review by Andi
Boah, super geiler Rum, was soll ich sagen angefangen von der Nase bis hin zum Gaumen sehr gut, super fruchtig, tropische Früchte, junges Holz was sich aber gut einfügt, der Alkohol ist gut eingebunden.
Review by DosenZorn
Absolute grenade. Full power NY. Cookie dough, fruit, marzipan. Initially had concerns about the 4 years in the Virgin Oak. But these were dispelled immediately. Perfectly matured. Probably couldn't have been bottled at a better time. A real bullet and an absolute no-brainer for the price.
Review by Christoph
Almost complex for such a young high ester rum. A wonderful taste experience for HD fans.
Review by rbfsnow
Big surprise for only 4y old in Virgin Oak Cask. Very fruity, spicy, marzipan and perfect alcohol integration. If all Virgin Oak Casks could works like this one.....
Review by Michael Schillheim
Die New Yarmouth DNA ist bei der Abfüllung von den Jungs aus Berlin nicht zu leugnen. Ester, Keksteig, tropische Früchte. Leider merkt man auch das junge Alter. Leicht alkoholisch und wild. Stabile Abfüllung, die mir sehr gut gefällt.
