An excellent pick. Does not fall flat. Simply put, if you have an opportunity to try, take it. You will not be disappointed
Hands down my favorite adult beverage. It gets broken out for births and other major life events. 3 ounces in a glass with a 2 inch ice cube, swirl it around for a few minutes then toast the event. Truly nectar of the Goddess JOY!!!!

I can’t justify the £20 per shot price tag on this rum. Rich, with a full body, it delivers well but there are just as nice rums at half the price.

Smooth all the way down. Nice flavour. Excellent taste throughout.
Compared with the 21YO this is a positive step forward. All the aromas from 21 are now present in a more refined way. Nicely balanced with the alcohol strength. A little bit overpriced compared with the 21YO but in a reasonable range.

I’ve not rated a rum on here a ten yet but I am proud to say this is my first. I’ve never warmed to the Appleton rums therefore my expectations were not high. However the moment I tasted Appleton joy 25 year rum this completely changed. It’s one of the nicest rums I have ever tried. The ages rums are usually quite harsh but this is SMOOTH, STRONG AND SWEET. Perfect.
One of the best Rums made.
A little pricey at $300.00 (Canadian).

This Rum is of the charts and the price is too but worth every penny. Way to many flavors for me to describe but it's worthwhile you won't be disappointed

Sampled this side by side with the rest of my bottle of 21. They are both excellent rums and noting similarities with the little brother. But the Joy just overpowers with depth and great lingering tones from the extra aging. Then it finishes with a hint of classic Jamaican funk. Dark golden brown not very sweet just tons of depth. Going straight to the top shelf too hard to come by.

Even better than the Appleton 30 (imho)!

I had this side by side with the Appleton 30 year. Both are exceptional Appleton rums. But to me this was even better than the 30 year.
Smells and tastes of oak, almond, butterscotch, nutmeg, orange peel, and vanilla. This has just a bit more almond and orange flavor and a bit less oak than the 30 year, which is why I think I like this a little more.
If you like the Appleton rums, I'm guessing you'll love this one. I'm not a huge fan of the Appleton style, as I find them a bit too dry for my liking, which is why I only rated this an 8. Still the best Appleton I've had, and if you're a fan of their style, I'm sure you'll love it!
