Appleton Estate Joy 25-Year

Truly amazing rum, very enjoyable rum one of our favourites from the Appleton collection
Smell - Vanilla, citrus, dark chocolate, spice
Taste - dark chocolate, mild burn, almond, nutmeg
After Taste - smooth chocolate, mild oak

One of those rare rums where the pretty bottle does not do justice to the fantastic product in side. Lots going on here. Oranges are pronounced, but rich fruit of raisins plums dates as well. Almond nuttiness. Woody, but not all oak woody either. A race horse.

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).
