Appleton Estate 21-Year

Smooth and not to sweet initially. Really enjoyed the aged oak aftertaste.

certainly worth a drink, but have others I prefer, maybe I am a Plantation addict :-)

Fantastically smooth with a strong sweet aftertaste. My number one choice

Citrus (orange peel), spice and woody (oak) notes. It is a smooth rum with a long after taste. Slightly sweet. Recommended for those of us who don’t like a sweet rum.

Kdysi velké nadšení, dnes mi přijde slabá voltáž, jemný až vodový

This is my first time trying this rum.
Rich and smooth - full bodied.

Deep, golden color. It sparkles in a glass. Wonderful nose, that delicious Jamaican funk, and the subtle orange underneath.
So smooth on the tongue. A tiny bite. Not too sweet. Little burn in the throat, and the taste lingers.
This is the nicest Appleton rum I've had. (Hoping I'll get a chance to try the 30, bit not prepared to pay the price yet 🙂)

You'll want another sip. And another. Then you'll need another glass. Careful opening this around your rum drinking friends, it will be gone before you know it!

1749年創業、ジャマイカ最古のラムメーカーと言われるアプルトン社。サトウキビ栽培から瓶詰めまで自社で行う数少ないラムメーカーの一つです。オーク樽で最低21年以上熟成させた原酒の中から、さらに厳選を重ねた最上級の熟成原酒をブレンド。複雑な香りとスムースな口当たりの後に、柑橘類、糖蜜、スパイス、バニラ、ナッツ、コーヒーなど重層的なフレーバーが続きます。まさにシッピングラム(一口ずつじっくり味わう)のにふさわしいアプルトンブランドの最高峰です。

It used to be better, more oaky and showing that 21 years of aging in the tropics, along with mahogany-like finesse of an old Rum, not far from best of the Cognacs. These days a bit more simple, less woody and lacking a bit of the honest character. Wish they made with as a single cask stuff - it would totally rock.

The smoothest of the attainable rums by Appleton. The grown up version of the 12.
