Appleton Estate 21-Year

Very good sip rum. A never really like Appleton's rum as much of mainstream critics, I just think they lack personality or specificity. Nonetheless a solid complex rum that every rum lover will enjoy.

I originally tasted this paired against El Dorado 21 and quite enjoyed it. I then bought a bottle and was not that impressed. There was a large amount of white floating sediment (pretty sure it's ok perhaps sugar crystallisation as I still drank it and I'm still alive?). Taste didn't wow me compared to El Dorado 21 and Zacapa XO which I also bought bottles of. Also I contacted Appleton Estate about quality issues and no response. Their facebook feed link from their website no longer worked and last tweet was a year ago so not sure what's happening there

This is a very complex rum - one that tends to be underrated. There ist orange and oak in the nose, more oak and some cacao and nuts in the mouth, pepper for the finish. Not for you, if you only like sweet rums. A delicate blend, though.

Bien qu'il soit passablement plus sec que les autres rhums industriels, il n'en reste pas moins qu'il est dans une classe à part. 9/10

ένα ρουμι που δικαιολογεί τα 21 χρόνια του. σε αντίθεση με το V/X αυτό ειναι ένα ρούμι που σου μένει!!!

Smooth and sweet, complex aromas with a big oaky influence. Very good, but worth the money?

Grandissimo rum, non molto aggressivo per essere un jamaicano, ma probabilmente i 21 anni in botte lo hanno addomesticato. Perfetto per meditare...

For the price this rum just doesn't "carry it's weight" to justify a rating over 8. If I were a professor I'd give the Appleton 21 a B+. It's certainly smooth enough to drink on the rocks but the smoothness and finish just aren't there.

Denne rom er velsmagende og absolut ikke for sød. Har noter af karamel og citrusfrugter uden at det bliver for voldsomt.

My favorite rum only because I can't afford a bottle of 50 yr old. I Drink this one straight.
