CoR New Yarmouth Jamaica 1994
Here's the twist: this is a Jamaican that mostly leaves the funk behind. Toasted coconut runs through everything, backed by dark chocolate, roasted wood, vanilla and butterscotch. A few tasters catch glue and varnish, but most find the fruit and caramel side leading. Give it 20-30 minutes in the glass — nearly everyone says it opens up and the 68.7% settles down.
The community says- Toasted coconut
- Dark chocolate finish
- Cask-strength heat

The look inside the bottle
How does CoR New Yarmouth Jamaica 1994 taste?
Aggregated from 60 community reviews.
Coconut-heavy, less funky aged Jamaican One of the softer, less funky 1994 New Yarmouths — coconut, toffee and roasted wood, with the high ABV well integrated. Loved by most; some find it a touch less complex than its siblings.

In the second tasting in the crosstasting, it comes off much better.

The following 94 New Yarmouths were in the blind tasting glass The preliminary result 1ST RX10164 2. RX12050 3. RX12183 4. RX10531 5. RX16026 6. RX10419 7. RX13113 8. RX10167 9. RX15643 10.

RX6983 Edit: Franconian Tasting Rating confirmed The 94 New Yarmouth vintage remains and is a real cracker. No matter which bottling I've had in my glass so far, I've never been disappointed. I had almost forgotten about it due to the saporization. It's been standing for quite a long time now and it's been really great. Simply delicious how the aromas have been released. I can now smell and taste hazelnut, it smells like you're holding your nose in a Nutella jar. Very, very tasty!!!

#4249 Getting my hands on these Colours of Rum samples isn't easy. But once I get some I'm never disappointed because the bar is usually pretty high. I rested this one for 30 minutes before giving it a go and the nose developed as time passed. This particular release is a non funky Jamaican and I still love it. Fruity and roasted wood with ABV really well integrated. Love the medicinal and caramel notes in the profile. Draws really nice curtains in the glass and the empty has some coconut, ginger and chocolate.
Review by Jakob
Seamlessly joins the ranks of the excellent and extremely tasty New Yarmouth releases from 1994. Balanced, wonderful sweetness, even the high alcohol content plays along. Excellent rum.
Review by LukaŽiga
9:On the nose, the first impression we get is very attractive with roasted/charred wood notes like butterscotch, pastry, from spices vanilla and tropical fruits, especially toasted coconut and some orange peel.Molasses is flowing underneath, as some varnish could be notice. On aeration, even more charred notes arise, like crème brûlée, nuts, burnt sugar, that balance a first part of our tasting. 8,7:On the palate, the attack is very attractive again with charred wood notes like caramel, marzipan, nuts, spicy with vanilla and lots of different exotic fruits like banana, toasted coconut, dried apricots and later orange.Resting the rum brings earthiness, vegetal molasses, some dark chocolate and a bit unpleasant ginger. 8,6:The finish is long, with the palate notes lingering on, dry and tannic, spicier with ginger and even chilli,there is some tobacco... Edit:6.12.25
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.
Review by Basti
The nose is very closed at first. Nougat, caramel, wood and roasted nuts can be detected and the alcohol is subtly perceptible. It then opens up over time and fruity notes become more present. Overall, a classic 94 NY without rough edges, but not quite at the top for me.
Review by mto75
Secret Santa sample for the RumX Christmas party, many thanks to Jörg for the great samples! 👍
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Clearly more glue & funk than some of the other 94s. But also almost the highest alcohol content. Great nose, great roasted aromas, somewhat bitter and medicinal, unfortunately hardly any fruit present, more like fermented fruit with varnish and overall not really harmonious. Overall, however, very furry, dark roasted and almost burnt. Dark chocolate, mocha and salted caramel on the finish.
Review by Dr.Django
1. lecker, am klassischsten, durchschnitt, was bei einem 94NY 87 Pkt. gibt. Etwas scharf 2. Sehr sanfter Antritt, etwas holziger, cremiger und mit viel Kokosnuss. Abgang eher kurz. sehr smooth im Vergleich zu den anderen. 82 3. Sehr geiler Antritt, sofort adstringent, sehr funky im Vergleich. Gefällt mir sehr! 90 4. Könnte ein Sherry finish sein. so viele dunkle Beeren, süß und vollmundig! geiles Teil! 89 5. Eine Mischung aus allem, was bis dato erwähnt wurde. Typische NY Aromen, etwas adstringent, etwas funky, etwas smooth aber auch hinten raus etwas scharf. 87 6. Typischer NY, der hinten raus noch etwas mehr Zitrusfrüchte im Korb hat, als die anderen. langer warmer Abgang. 88 Auflösung: 1: RX9617, COR 2: RX12183, Lime House 3: RX24450, RA #2 4: RX10167, Kill Devil 5: RX12556, Bottleshop 6: RX21637, Vignum Vitae
Review by Tschusikowsky
Etwas zu säurig, viel Nougat und Leim. Gefällt mir beim zweiten Mal besser. Balance nicht ganz optimal, hat leicht was ruppiges. Hat etwas buttriges auch. Zuckerpapier und Karamellgeschmack. Nicht mein Liebster des Jahrgangs aber immer noch sehr lecker.
Review by Oliver
Less sweet than the other 1994 New Yarmouth. I like very much!
Review by Righrum
Coconut everywhere, the nose is dominated by this note, plus a butter taste and some sweet tropical fruit in the very background, almost unnoticeable. In the mouth it is fatty and dominated by the wood and sweet notes of caramel, chocolate and coffee
Review by Jarek
Ein leckerer und recht typischer 1994er New Yarmouth, der aber heute für mich nicht ganz in die Spitzengruppe des Jahrgangs schafft . Bei der ersten Verkostung schrieb ich noch „Hätte doch eine Flasche hollen sollen…“, heute bin ich mit dem Sample zufrieden.
Review by Wernie
Verkostet auf dem GRF, gesehen und gedacht das könnte was sein, und das war es zu 100%. 😋 Erstklassiger New Yarmouth. Kannte bis dato nur die von RA. Dieser hier war weniger funky, man könnte auch sagen weniger bissig. Eine geniale fruchtige Nase. Am Gaumen zuerst überraschend süß nach Toffee und Marzipan darauf folgen das ganze Spektrum tropischer Früchte die wunderbar mit dem Fass harmonieren. Richtig edel, nicht überholzt und der Alkohol wunderbar eingebunden.👍🏻 Ich hatte Tränen in den Augen beim ausspülen des Glases.😢
Review by Serge
Very tasty 94 NY. I like it very much
Review by Mentalo
Unter den ganzen 1994er Abfüllung eine der schlechteren, aber trotzdem noch gut. Braucht Zeit im Glas mit seinem hohen Alkoholgehalt und er ist etwas weniger komplex und ausgewogen. Sehr viele Süße, Kokosnuss, Nougat. Im Abgang dann mehr Holznoten und leicht bitter nach verbrannten Zucker.
Review by Buddudharma
Schöner, klassischer 94 NY. Überraschungen gibt es hier nicht, die Qualität ist durchweg hoch. In Summe ist mir dieses Profil trotzdem einfach zu nah am spanischen Column Still, um Spitzenbewertungen zu rechtfertigen. Danke an die FTG (Franconian Tasting Gang) für das Sample 🥰.
Review by Johannes
In direct comparison, the alcohol is not as well integrated and flavorful lacks a bit of intensity. Nevertheless, a good NY94!

Read full review →The Colours of Rum Jamaica 1994 isn't cheap but then again 25 years plus ageing the Tropics doesn't come along all that often. I dare say they'll have paid a pretty penny for the cask as well! A really good start from this bottler.
