Aroma visualization from community tastings
Rum Shark New Yarmouth 1994
Woody and buttery up front, with chocolate, tropical fruit and a solvent edge that marks it as New Yarmouth. Members lean on words like creamy, caramel and "that funky vibe" from a tropically-aged Jamaican. At 26 years and 69% it drinks far calmer than the number suggests — tasters keep saying they barely feel the ABV. Long, spicy, slightly bitter finish.
The community says- Deep woody chocolate
- Creamy, complex body
- Very limited

How does Rum Shark New Yarmouth 1994 taste?
Aggregated from 24 community reviews.
Woody, creamy tropical-aged Jamaican at cask strength People who tried it rate it near the top of Rum Shark's output — deep wood, cream and chocolate over Jamaican funk. The only real catch is availability and that fierce 69% strength.

Review by Matej
My first New Yarmouth. My friend told me about this rum and he was 100% right. This is top rum from Rum Shark. Aroma is very woody, buttery/creamy with combination of chocolate. I noticed combination of fruit and technical aroma. Taste is again very woody. I noticed chocolate flavor, spice and creamy flavor. This rum in a way reminds me Blue Ocean Caroni from RS but this New Yarmouth has that funky vibe which I love in Jamaican rums. Finish is long with bitter, spice and wood flavour. Love the color, arome and taste in my opinion it is better sample than Blue Ocean Caroni 1991. I was surprised with 69% ABV but you will not feel that at all. Great, great rum.
