Appleton Estate 21-Year

Although a drier rum than I am accustomed to, the Appleton Estate 21-Year rum has a sweetness to it that becomes most apparent, albeit subtly, when the burn fades. That long finish has flavors that make you want to take another sip...then another...then another...

Before you know it, the rum in your glass is gone...

So you get another...

And if you share this with friends and family, it is virtually guaranteed you will be shelling out another $120 for a replacement bottle. And your friends will want to know when you bought it so they can come back to "help" you enjoy it.

What a bunch of great friends, eh?

I admit that I am drawn more to the sweeter rums but there is something about this particular rum that just makes my taste buds smile and do a little jig. Makes my tongue feel weird but jig buds, jig. They dig it!

Now I could go and try to figure out what all those nuance flavors are but my palate just ain't that edjimacated so I won't even try. I know there are a plethora of flavors that master blender Joy Spence has captured so I will just enjoy them as balanced as they are.

One minor suggestion for the fine folks at Appleton Estates...the bottle is beautiful and the wood stopper and natural cork are a must but it would be so cool if the logo on the top of the stopper would have been laser etched rather than inked on. This about it?

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.

i have to say that I was expecting something more for the price. Some more complexity. Still, this is a pretty great rum. A bit of burn at the end. In this price range though there are several other bottles my hand would reach for before this one.

Before I received this as a gift a number of years back, I was mostly a "Rum-Mixer". Receiving this started me along the path towards drinking rum on the rocks and or neat.
Not as smooth as the 30 but also not as oaky; just right.
At $150 bones a pop here in Ontario; I'd say $100 to $120 would be a more reasonable price

Ce rhum est sec et puissant. Comme je les préfère plus « caramélisés » et compte tenu de son prix élevé, je ne lui accorde qu’un 7.
Il faut pourtant lui reconnaitre de belles qualités : belle couleur ambrée, nez subtil, force de caractère, et nombre d’épices se mêlent au bois pour réchauffer la gorge. Belle longueur.

Just received my bottle today ! Produced in 2009, N° 5,318 ;-)
The 12 years was great but I'm waiting to taste the 21. Oak taste and caramel are present and first taste of citrus noze. Great value, a must have in any collection.
