NYC

Today we have a 4 flight New Yarmouth 1994, one of my favorite profiles, Appleton 21yr goes SVW. #4 goes to Thompson Bros. A bit woodier, simpler, from memory very similar to Kill Devil. #3 the Valinch & Mallet. More balanced, a bit smoother, less strong (as far as one can speak of it in the 60% range) and additionally a pleasant biscuit/biscuit note. #2, now getting close, the Excellence Rhum. Hammer nose with a wonderful animal note a la Caroni 21 Extra Strong, a bit woodier in the mouth. Coconut and dried apricot. #1 goes to Swell de Spirits. Very strong, round and balanced. Dried apricot, which I like a lot. In the mouth the hammer, warm, a little less wood than the others, long, great finish.

Requires 20min to become a rum gourmand on the oak barrel, chocolate, vanilla and fruit.in the mouth the same with toasted and a little bitter side of the barrel.excellent 🤤

Boom! Another phenomenal 1994 NY! The nose just hits like a sledge hammer, massively complex, definitly give it some time in the glass to calm down. On the palate it's typical well aged jamaican from this vintage, complex, dried fruits, dark chocolate/mocha/coffee, vanilla and then there is the wood influence without being too bitter. Can tell its spent most of its time in the tropics, its so complex. The alcahol is so well integrated, you just couldn't tell its 2/3rds straight booze! this seems to be a common theme with these 94s. The 3 I have tried so far (corman collins, swell and now this one) are all just amazing rums. A long dry finish.

Bam, once you open this bottle you know where in the world you are. An elegant and yet fruity rum with some wood, smoke, spice and delicious fruit. A bit expensive but we'll worth the money 😀

Also a Little harsh on the nose. Very nice on the palate with candid lime (?) and also hints of herbs. Particularly adstringent vs. peer group.

today two venerable representatives of their profession: the Excellence Rhum NY 94 in comparison with the FRC Bottle Shop NY 94. Both 27/28 years spent in the barrel, both of them 24 in tropical climes, both 67.8% ABV. Therefore not surprising that both are very similar on the nose at first, with decent coconut, vanilla and barrel. The ER goes perhaps a bit more in the direction of anise, polish and cake. The FRC tends more towards tropical fruit (papaya), marzipan and candied orange peel. I can hardly make out any differences on the palate. The high ABV is equally well integrated in both. Bottom line for me both on the same level.

An incredibly tasty column, the nose is delicious, the palate superb too, coconut with vanilla praline, candied fruit coated in caramel and milk chocolate with a lovely woody toster finish. Excellent!

A New Yarmouth with an atypical profile, offering something quite different from Jamaican esters. The nose is very elegant and complex, with beautiful pastry notes, sweet spices and chocolate, followed by a basket of exotic fruit, orange and dried fruit. On the palate, spices come first before giving way to roasted notes, nuts, espresso flavors and a light smoky woodiness. Coconut and dried fruit add deliciousness to this rum, whose 67.8% alcohol content is very well integrated. The long, warm, dry finish extends the toasty, roasted flavors described above. A fine selection from Excellence Rhum.

8,8:On the nose, the first impression we get is quite spicy with cinnamon, vanilla, intense, the wood is roasted with chocolate, caramelized roasted nuts, the molasses brings tobacco and we have coconut and citrus fruits. On aeration, a wave of fruits like dried apricots, currants and red fruits join the game. 9:On the palate, the attack is delicious, fruity with coconut and banana, dried fruits, the wood is roasted with nuts, confectionery, butterscotch, spicy and dry, as the molasses is rather dark with licorice and black tea, herbaceous.On oxidation, the wood is smoky, oaky, perhaps some leather joins, the yellow, citrus fruits are in the game, perhaps they are candied. 8,9:The finish is long, tannic, round with roasted wood notes, smoky and spicy, toasted coconut, dried apricots, banana and orange peel, as the molasses is earthy with cigar tobacco, pencil shavings. Edit:5.10.25

One of my favourite rums. Nose - after opening you immediately feel vanilla, cream and sweet caramel/marzipan. After first taste you want another one. It is like if you take the best bonbon out of the box.

Excellent NY94! Very appealing nose. Perfect combination of fruit, spice and sweetness.

Für mich ein solider 1994er New Yarmouth. Es gibt glaub ich aus diesem Jahrgang nicht wirklich eine schlechte Abfüllung. Für mich liegt dieser im oberen Mittelfeld meines Lieblingsprofil. Was ein wenig die Stimmung bei mir getrübt hat war der schlechte Füllstand von Excellence Rhum.

Intense rum. Reminded me in the nose slightly PEZ dextrose with berry flavor. In the mouth slight tingle from the alcohol. Nice overall package. Very good rum.

Tasted at the Excellence Rhum boutique, a wonderful discovery. The New Yarmouth is very light chocolate coconut spice, and then comes a tangy side and candied / dried fruits. 68 degrees that go unnoticed, and a crazy length. A real treat.

A very good representative of the 94 NY! Swings with me between very good and excellent... I would have liked a little more fruit... but that's complaining at a high level
