Appleton Estate 21-Year

Very good jamaican Rum. The new bottle and the new version seem to be a little bit tastier

I was given a very health sized pour of this and enjoyed it a lot. To date, the rare casks 12 year has been my most dependable well priced bottle of rum. Without having it side by side with this at the time, it was hard for me to differentiate the two at all. So while this is a superb rum in it's own right, it is also probably double he price of the rare cask 12 year... so I would opt for that instead.

This rum jumps out to the nose Immediately! An overwhelming scent of bright fruit and oak. The taste is similar to its scent. A bit dry, finishes quicker than I thought, but still not short. I taste quality; I can pick out the flavors easily, as they are pronounced and good. Slight bite to it. I can tell it's an Appleton by its profile. They did not stray from their process.

Hell of a discovering! A great Jamaican Rhum with its generous esthers, with a warm, delicate and so well balanced taste. And what a long and pleasant long finish!

First off, this is good aged rum. Nice notes of caramel, vanilla, molasses, oak, raisins, ginger, and plum. A little funk. Very well put together. Give this to a whisky drinker who says they don't like rum. Gateway rum.

That said, in my opinion, this is hurt by it being bottled at just 43%; the finish is short to medium. For the price (around $150), I would want this at a higher ABV (ideally cask strength) and I bet it would be terrific and a fair value.

This is a quality spirit, but I ding it for the proof and price.

Rum, ktery je velmi elegantni, hluboky a ma velmi prijemnou a dlouhou dochuť.

Don't really how anyone can score lower than 7. Best 21 Dram out there

A very elegant and smooth rum. Mostly dry but feels a bit sweeter than it actually is.
Vanilla, oak, floral aromas, orange peel, coffee.
A long lasting dry finish.
