How does this rum taste?
- Very smooth and enjoyable sipper
- Schöne Kombination aus Früchten,Würze und Holz
- Natural sweetness is also amazing
Dominated by classic notes of oak, vanilla, and nutmeg, the Appleton 21 Years Nassau Valley Cask brings mild orange or orange peel alongside a gentle woodiness. Several RumX members picked up on a lighter style—"quite light" says Piotr Ignasiak, with others noting hints of Foursquare and even Agricole influences. Nose shows promise with "sehr viel Karamell in der Nase" (Lot-NAS), though more than one reviewer finds the palate more subdued or thin, suggesting a preference for higher ABV. Drinkers also mention a "smooth and enjoyable sipper" (X-Savior), suitable for relaxed evenings rather than deep contemplation.

To Appleton Estate
"With a medium to long finish, Appleton Estate has managed to up the ante through the versions of the 21 year one. I have tried the previous ones and still have the last one released which I had to compare in a side by side comparison, and this one is better. The fruity side with spices is there with the woody tones which is then finished off by chocolate and coffee and a hint of tobacco. Lightly, very lightly dry and overall rounded and well balanced. The natural sweetness is also amazing. Price to quality is very good and I've already ordered backup bottles :-) 30.01.2022 Enjoying it again and still stand by my score. Wonderful release especially when looking at the price tag."
"Similarly good as the old 21 Appleton but I have the impression it's a bit woodier. Almost a bit "rotten". Delicious and elegant but still! However, I like the classic 21 better overall..."
"Cedar wood, lime, unripe pineapple and vegetal on the nose. The attack on the palate is a little acqueous, reflecting dilution. Aromas struggle to emerge, then fill the mouth. The finish is longer than the 15-year-old, drier and woodier. A rather dry, woody rum, though the fruit is very present. Strangely less interesting than the more lively 15 ans d'âge."
"RumX Calendar Day 16 But for me blind, it would have been a Foursquare. I would never have thought of it. All in all, more of an easy sipper. But it's amazing how broad the range of a distillery can be. A bit thin, unfortunately..."
