Sansibar New Yarmouth Rare Old Jamaican Rum (DeinWhisky.de) 1994
Toasted coconut, roasted wood and caramel lead here, with banana, coffee, cocoa and warm spice underneath. This is a 30-year-old New Yarmouth from 1994, and three decades in oak show — several tasters call it dark, heavy and woody, "leicht zu trinken" at 55.8% but tannic and a touch bitter late. One reviewer notes it needs time to rest before the bitterness settles.
The community says- Toasted coconut
- Easy at 55.8%

How does Sansibar New Yarmouth Rare Old Jamaican Rum (DeinWhisky.de) 1994 taste?
Aggregated from 29 community reviews.
Woody, coconut-heavy 30-year Jamaican sipper Well-liked old New Yarmouth: coconut, roasted wood and spice, easy to sip for the strength. The catch is a woody, tannic, slightly bitter finish some feel has passed its peak.

Review by Michael Schou
04-04-2025 - Rate 8.9 Classic NW. Love the nose. Missing s little on the plate. 55,8% is a bit to low.
Review by Johannes
Excellent and typical NY94, which becomes an easy sipper due to its low alcohol content! Really good! But if you're looking for a board like the RA, you've certainly come to the wrong place.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Delicious old New Yarmouth and, together with the FRC, the oldest for me to date. Overall, it's very much on the woody side, dark, heavy and spicy. Banana and coconut are present but are complemented by toasted oak cask, cardamom, strong mocha, cinnamon and some mint. Delicious and priced ok but won't be my favorite 94 NY!😅 Overall it's a bit too astringent and bitter for me, woody though balanced and easy to drink. But my expectations were higher.
Review by Martin Švojgr
And what do we have here? The popular NY1994 again, this time 30 years old. Smells nice, nice coconut, wood, tropical fruit. The taste is lower alcohol, more woodiness, coconut still present but a little overpowered by the wood, as if to suggest the rum wanted out of the cask earlier. The finish starts to lack flavours, leaving vanilla, wood and strength of alcohol.
Review by Serge
Decent NY94 with typical notes and more on the roasty side, but also a lot of "green" ... a nice nutty bitter note on the palate that goes well with coconut, banana and caramel. For me in the midfield ... not a top performer but not a total failure either. The Vintage has simply already reached its zenith
Review by Banana Joe
Bin hier leider etwas enttäuscht. Alles in allem schon ein schöner Rum, aber da bin ich von Den anderen 94er NY Abfüllungen mehr gewohnt. Denke mit mehr % wäre hier mehr drin gewesen. Vllt braucht er aber auch mehr Zeit zum atmen. Muss den nochmal in Ruhe verkosten. Was mir gut gefällt ist die Walnussnote im Abgang.
Review by Thunderbird
Another, but older 1994 New Yarmouth. The nose has the familiar markers and I still like it best here. On the palate, the influence of the cask is already very noticeable, but in combination with the spicy component, it's still okay. The finish is borderline for me as far as the now bitter cask taste is concerned. The bottling is still just very good, but has obviously passed its zenith
