Appleton Estate 21-Year

Had the opportunity to taste this first time as part of a Master Class with the First Lady of Rum, Master Blender Joy Spence. Being one of few rums that actually are at least 21 years old this is pricy but worth every penny. The color, the bottle, the legs in the glass.. all leading into that lovely smell and taste.

Un rhum qui tiens ses promesses, très belle longueur, canelle, bois et cuir...un rhum à découvrir absolument !

Un assemblage de rhum d'un minimum de 21 ans vieillit en fût de chêne. Rhum d'un beau dorée caramel. Un arôme de caramel et de vanille s'y dégage. En bouche on goûte la vanille et une note d'agrume. A la fin on sent les épices et le boisée du chêne. On le sent descendre sans brûler la gorge.

Quite simply the best rum to have graced my tastebuds. Very smooth, and leaves a sweet taste in your mouth as it leaves.

Beautiful color, nose is oaky, caramel, citrus.
Taste is aged oak, nutty, with a dry finish.
Oak taste lingers. This is my first Appleton. Look forward to drinking more of this rum.

Expensive, but worth the price. Incredibily crafted with the right amount of kick to it. One of the best rums in my collection. I enjoy it on special ocassions.

I have to say I still prefer sweeter rums but this is another dry beauty. I recommend to leave it in glass for while and then drink it. After first sip you can feel that there is definitely no added sugar. Aroma is very woody with tropical fruit especialy orange. Taste is also very woody with flavours of almonds, coffee, fruit and spice. I prefer Doorlys 14 but this is really great rum.

un ron complejo e imponente sus 21 años son bien llevados en boca sabor a mar y arena suave al final en nariz simlemente

Pleaseant on the nose and smooth to sip. Only downside is price.

Sweet not harsh. And very smooth without that burning sensation.
