Appleton Estate 21-Year

Another reviewer summed this up very well, comparing this to Walker Blue. Age, distinction, quality, consistency. Honestly it just felt good to drink! Great nose. Not really funky. Sweeter than expected, in a good way. I thoroughly enjoyed this one.

Just had a glass of Appleton 21 yr rum and it is indeed really good. In comparaison to the 12 & 15 year versions I find it more complex and smoother. Oh wow, this is a great Rum! Is it worth the difference in the price? The 12 & 15 are both bargains and excellent, the 21, in spite of the higher price is well worth it IMO. 👍

This is an enormous upgrade over the 12 year (that I rated a 5). It still has a relatively weak nose given its age - a certain hollowness alongside a crisp caramel note - but the finish is fantastic, with the full 21 years coming through in the oaky spice and a lingering and complex (for rum) fade.

oaky funky Jamaican rum ! smooth and dry, this is an English style rum that i like !
even if i m not a big fan of English style rums ! it s better than the 15 YO but it s not a 10 for my taste ... also is expensive plus lacks that typical Jamaican funk so my final rating is 8 !

I don't have all the experience in the world rating booze, but this rum is my go to rum for either a stellar day or the world is ending type of day. I find it a very soul-satisfying on the rocks rum and either highlights the day or provides a glint of light in an abysmal day. Not for every day sipping.

This type of rum should not be for me, but however for some reason it is. About 15 years ago I tried this rum and it got me into the world of rum with it’s smoothness and sweetness. Today I tried it again and thought I would have changed my mind considering my love for the more spanish style rums. But man I was wrong, this is truly a fantastic rum.There is oak, it’s dry and have a remarkable fine touch of sweets.

Definitely drier then most but nice soft and with many layers, after taste. Many people here already described so I would only repeat. I have bottle from 2013.

"Packaging is terrific, bottle history included in package, wax seal, nicely done. Across the nose, rich almond, honey notes. Slight burn across the tongue, more almond, vanilla notes. Across the palate, slight toffee, rich butterscotch. Excellent!"

There is really nothing to add, I sign every single letter.

This hits with some great carmel oakey flavor. If the alcohol would be slightly less noticeable this would be a 10.

Bottle No. 18536 (2020).

God smag, dejlig mild og blid.

Zatím nejlepší rum z Jamajky co jsem mohl ochutnat.
