Review by crazyforgoodbooze
sensational new yarmouth. cookie dough, very fresh menthol and allspice, creamy, harmonious and just more cookie dough and spice than the cave Guildive what I find simply hornier. and overall a little more harmonious and quaffable by the almost 3% less alcohol.simply gigantically good stuff!
Review by SaibotZtar
Great !!! NY at its best, at least for me. Great fruit, lots of ester, marzipan and an incredible mouthfeel. Together with the SBS 2005 my personal reference when it comes to New Yarmouth (2005). Unfortunately really hard to get at a reasonable price.
Review by Insta: spiritofbernard 🇫🇷
Tasted after a still unbottled Savana (surprise, surprise Belgium), I still had a blast.
Review by LukaŽiga
8,8:On the nose, the first impression we get is very intense with esters, glue, overripe tropical fruits like banana, pineapple and citrus fruits, funky, woody with some spice and marzipan, cookie dough and biscuits. On aeration, the molasses is fresh, slightly vegetal, the presence of solvents is strong. 8,8:On the palate, the attack is intense, funky, but creamy with esters, glue, slightly roasted wood notes like pastry, caramel, cookie dough, spicy with allspice, salty and fruity with overripe tropical fruits like banana, pineapple and citrus fruits, when aired well, also red fruits and papaya.It quickly becomes dry and astringent, but buttery and the molasses vegetal. 8,7:The finish is long, intense, less round as the palate, dry and tannic, fruity and funky, the wood is roasted, smoky, spicy, the molasses vegetal and flowery. Edit:23.1.26, oxidation helps, an upgrade for 0,2
Review by Mike H.
Extremely funky NY with a lot of fruit. Quite impressive.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
I love this one. A lot of bang right off the bat and once rested you get a very fruity rum on the nose. The esters, glue and and menthol is there and it's kind of intense on a very nice way. The funk is there and a wonderful oily feel on the palate.
Review by Skyfly
Klasse Vertreter der 05NY. Viel Tropische und Ester. Daneben eine Mischung Lack und Klebstoff. Hold und Gewürze halten sich im Hintergrund. Abgang hält ewig an. Alkohol könnte nicht besser eingebunden sind.
Review by Johannes
One of the best NY for me!
Review by Mirco
Kräftiger New Yarmouth mit intensiven Ester- und Tropenfruchtnoten. Am Gaumen zeigen sich Ananas, Banane und eine feine Würze, begleitet von einer cremigen Textur. Die Aromen sind vielschichtig und harmonisch eingebunden, was dem Rum Tiefe und Charakter verleiht. Eine gelungene Abfüllung.
Review by Frank
24th day of the Christmas calendar. Blind! For me it was typical Hampden and a really great one... but then it was a NY ... Nose: a bit biting at first. Then come fine esters, fine glue, fermented pineapple and very ripe banana, the whole deposited with a light vinegar note. Totally round. Palate: quite astringent at the beginning. Then the fine esters. Sweetish acidity, like flambéed, grilled pineapple. Almost creamy and buttery. Almond and a little aniseed at the back. Also very round on the palate. A totally good NY and a worthy end to the Christmas calendar!!!

Absoluter Wahnsinn! Jamaica Funk at its best
Review by Stefan L
Still super the second time I get to test this one.
Review by Jarek
Kleines 2005 New Yarmouth Cross Tasting - November 2025: Gleich nach dem Einschenken waren die Noten von Klebstoff und Lösungsmittel noch fast das Einzige was ich wahrgenommen habe. Nach einer Weile im Glas treten sie aber in Hintergrund und dann kommen Ananas, Banane, Marzipan, angenehme Süße und Reife hinzu. Kräftiger und noch als die anderen drei. Heute gefiel er mir am besten.
Review by John Coffey
Très bon.. Mais il me manque quelque chose.. Assez pâtissier.. Pas mal porté sur les fruits et un côté floral..

Expert review by The Fat Rum Pirate
"This is rum for the more serious enthusiast. It's not for everyone, miles away from Appleton 21 or Joy. Hugely funky, medicinal yet fresh and fruity. I really hope Florent has a lot more casks of this rum as it could becomes CDI's signature....... Stunning."Read full review →
Expert review by Zucker und Zeste
"Even more aromatic than the comparative bottling of CDI. Spicier and slightly less sweet in taste. Allspice and pepper come to the fore very present next to the cookie dough and the fruit basket. A fantastic bottling!"
