Appleton Estate 21-Year

Very good for Appleton .Smooth . Price = 130$ in Jamaica .

Cel mai bun Appleton dintre cele băute până acum. Vechimea își spune cuvântul foarte clar în acest rom deosebit.

This is darn good stuff, like real good. Smooth smooth smooth. It's not that complex do to the fact it's so well blend together for their demise. I mean it's really good don't get me wrong, worth the price ? NO NO NO. How it works it enters smooth exits dry, transitions from semi sweet to dry during the enter exit process. Distinct Appleton taste just smoother. Honestly though very very pricey for what it is, by no means is it bad but you can get rums half the price that are just as good. Appleton has a distinct flavor which is moderately simple once blent together, oak, molasses, toffee, some allspice and vanilla, the cane they use has a very distinct flavor a dry but sweet sugar and that is essentially Appleton. Going from their lowest to their higher it's about all the same, the higher grade ones just hone in on their distinct flavor better with much reduced harshness. It's a very pleasant flavor none the less and this one has no alcohol smell in it so you can smell all the aromas for as long as you please.

After tasting the 12yr version of appleton which was great, even better than appleton VX (also good although a bit harsh) I was convinced that the 21 yr version was going to be insanely good....unfortunately not so much. It's good but tastes a bit watered down and much sweeter than the 12 yr version...much sweeter and weaker than I expected. It's too smooth in the wrong sort of way.

A lot of fruits, wood and minerals. Very straight but not annoying. Intense and persistent. Best Jamaican rum ever made. Best aftertaste I'ever tried.

Smaakperfectie.. zijdezachte Jamaicaanse rum. Heerlijk.

Once, a person of the staff of appleton told me: "Jamaicans say: white people drink black rum, black people drink white rum".
I don't know if it will be so, but this black rum is very very fine, smooth, warm, flavoured. But what is surprising, is its persistent taste even after half an hour.

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.

Appleton Estate 21-Year har kraftig duft af træ (eg / whisky fade), hvor smagen er helt anderleders blød og i mødekommen, en STOR rom vil jeg sige.

Appleton 21 has an excellent profile for the nose. It outshines rums that I mark higher in this category. You may particularly like it if you enjoy your rums on the drier side. It reminds me of Kirk and Sweeney 23yr. (with exception the K&S price point which is fantastic). Not my favorite but a very good rum.
