The Compagnie des Indes 2005 Jamaica 13yo is a rare release from the New Yarmouth distillery, known for producing some of the most potent and aromatic overproof rums. This particular bottling was distilled in June 2005 and bottled in November 2018, making it a 13-year-old rum. With only 326 bottles produced, this limited edition rum offers a unique and unforgettable experience for rum enthusiasts.
At first impression, this rum may come across as quite solvent-like with a thick layer of dissolved varnish. However, with some time and air, the solvent begins to dissipate, revealing a stunningly powerful fruitiness with a pastry-like quality. The oak is smooth and well-rounded, expressing itself through notes of tonka beans and sweet almonds.
As the solvent dissipates further, the rum opens up to reveal luscious, overripe exotic fruits that are both cooked and fermented. The fruit flavors are bold and vibrant, bursting with aroma and flattering notes. The pastry-like quality returns, this time with a decadent combination of raisins, prunes, apricots, and a touch of creme anglaise.
The finish is long and satisfying, with hints of copper, cocoa, and molasses, followed by the elegant, gourmet notes of a cherry stone. Due to the rarity of New Yarmouth bottlings, this rum is only available through a select few independent bottlers. While it is not a cask-strength release, it is a carefully curated and aged expression.
Overall, the Compagnie des Indes 2005 Jamaica 13yo is a truly unique and unforgettable rum experience, showcasing the very best of what the New Yarmouth distillery has to offer.

This rum has received a mix of opinions from reviewers. Some appreciate its fruity and vegetal profile, along with its spicy and herbal undertones, and find it highly enjoyable. Others feel that the esters and solvent-like notes dominate too much, masking the fruity characteristics that are usually expected from a New Yarmouth rum. Several reviewers note a pleasant sweetness complemented by spices like vanilla, allspice, and ginger, with a transition to young wood and a relatively short finish dominated by allspice and licorice. Despite the mixed reviews, many agree that after some aeration, the rum becomes smoother, rounder, and more fruit-forward, making it a unique addition to any rum collection.
