Appleton Joy 35yr 45%
The "Joy" Rum from Jamaica's Appleton Estate is a 35-year-old blend, distilled from molasses and aged in the Caribbean climate. Its nose features intriguing aromas of vanilla, caramel, and citrus, with subtle coconut and orange peel notes. On the palate, it delivers oak, caramel, and a spicy complexity, blending harmoniously. Some users describe it as elegant and full-bodied, reminiscent of higher ester marques. While praised for its complexity and longevity, others find its profile thin despite its premium status. As a limited release with only 1200 bottles, it has both admirers and skeptics, with its smooth, subtle taste and high age making it a collector’s favorite. RumX users have shared diverse opinions but generally commend its elegant sipping quality.

“The nose is dominated by solvents, polish, then tropical fruit, citrus, tobacco. The 25 years of tropical maturity is hardly noticeable. Very nice.In the mouth then much more wood. Long, complex finish , now more caramel and dried fruit.Very complex, easy drinking.Appleton I would not have recognized here, I can not help myself, the rum reminds me strongly of a 45% Caroni minus rubber and tar.😉Not for full proof gladiators, but that was not the intention here. It should be a great sipper, he is then also.Certain recognition value with the 95 Hearts.”

“Much alike the 21-year old but much smoother even though it’s 90 proof. Buy it if you find it.”

“Incredibly elegant, round and full-bodied. It's like baking a banana in honey, dusting it with cocoa and cardamom and then sitting down in a heavy leather armchair in front of the fire. Truly an absolutely wonderful sipping rum from Appleton, which is well suited to the name "Joy"! I was skeptical but am very pleasantly surprised! 😍”
