Appleton Estate 21-Year

toto je rum pri ktorom sa neviem rozhodnut ci mi chuti alebo nie a je to celkom zaujimave. prijemna vona, ktoru ja skoro nikdy neviem zadefinovatco tam citim :-). nastup pre mna zaujimavy, nevyspitatelny a mam pocit ze vzdy pijem iny rum. telo dost vyrazne ale prvu polsekundu je to pre mna nie uplne ono. sud na chvilu pretlaci svoju pritomnost az moc a to mi trosku vadi, urcite to ale nieje na skodu, aj ked ja niesom ten typ ktory hlada drevitost v rume. tento rum ma 43% co je podla mna velke plus, alkohol prijemne doplna atmosferu tohto rumu. velmi prijemne zahreje a aj ked je citit nastup alkoholu, ten len podpori chut. podla mna velmi slusne pitie. na 21 rocny rum ani ta cena nieje taka strasna a pri tomto rume mam pocit ze to je poctivych 21 rokov 8,3/10. niekedy viac niekedy menej :-)))

This is a party in a glass! I popped the cork and a cloud of raisins and molasses came from the bottle. Poured in a snifter at first sip the nose is incredible with raisins and fresh cinnamon rolls. The mouth feel is a tad oily in a good way. Smooth with a little burn on the finish. The essence of molasses lingers in your mouth long after the last sip. Of the 7 or so rums I've tried beyond the college party rums this is my absolute favorite.

Good Jamaican Color and Taste. Decent nose but a little bit of Afters to take away from it.

This rum is something unique, it's not a bad rum, however in my opinion is something light to be a 21 year old rum, besides the woody notes predominate before the others, on the other hand it has a very fine touch of sweetness. It's a rum difficult to understand, but as you try more times in a row, you fall in love.

Este ron es algo singular, no es un mal ron, sin embargo a mi parecer es algo ligero para ser un ron de 21 años, además las notas amaderadas predominan ante las otras, por otra parte tiene un toque muy fino de dulzura. Es un ron difícil de comprender, pero conforme lo pruebas mas veces seguidas, te va enamorando.

It's not a rum that really surprises you, but it's a very good clean rum.
Not as funk as some Jamaican rums, but that's to be expected with Appleton.
However it is very good at what it does offer you. The bourbon cask is quite dominant, so do keep that in mind if you consider buying this one.

Le nez est plutôt doux, légèrement boisé avec des notes d’orange, de vanille et de fruits (poire, banane, pomme)
L’attaque est douce et y on retrouve principalement le duo Boisé/vanille qui prend le dessus sur les fruits. C’est moins bien balancé que le nez et c’est bien dommage.
La Finale est longue et rajoute du tabac ainsi qu’une touche d’épice.
C’est un bon rhum, mais j’aurais préféré que le gout confirme ce que le nez présagé.

Nose is pure oak. There's a thickness to it, but nothing stands out for me but the oak. A little sweetness, but then countered with a bitter aftertaste.

A very good sipper with hints of chocolate, tobacco, citrus flavors and a long oak finish. Much to savor. My only issue is it's on par with the much cheaper brother Appleton 12 Year Rare Blend and it's hard to justify the cost difference. Still would recommend those who haven't tried it to enjoy it.

Muy bueno, dentro de los tops. Sin embargo queda por debajo del Millonario XO. Precio bastante elevado por lo cual seguramente optaria antes por un Plantation 20-years o un Abuelo Centuria. No obstante sigue siendo una de las preferidas dentro de mi colección.

this rum taste for me stronger and dry, it is no sweet with alcohol stronger taste
