Appleton 21 Years 21yr 43%

RX35 Very good Pot & Column Still Rum <250€
“Refined yet gently complex Jamaican rum.”

Appleton Estate 21-Year-Old Rum is a sophisticated Jamaican rum distilled from molasses and sugarcane juice using pot and column stills. Aged for 21 years, it offers a nuanced aroma of vanilla, caramel, and tropical fruits, with flavors of oak, vanilla, and spice. Critiques highlight its smoothness and gentle complexity, but it's considered less robust than its younger counterparts. The 43% ABV provides an easy-sipping experience, ideal for special occasions or pairing with cigars. While appreciated for balance and elegance, some enthusiasts desire more intensity and traditional Jamaican funk. Perfect for both new rum appreciators and seasoned aficionados seeking refinement.
