This is a super good rum for the price. Jamaica funk all the way and a real joy. You can taste the complexity of the 21 years of maturing.

A very good introduction to the world of unsweetened rums. Round and harmonious without the typical Jamaica ester funk.

A rum that I expected a lot, too much... A mix of vanilla and tropical fruits with a persistent caramel impression.In the mouth a diluted side first, then spices, caramel again and tropical fruits and prune.The finish is rather short. I find it disappointing especially in comparison with the CDI clarendon 59,4%, much more interesting.

if Jamaica should be easy sipping then it would be this one. Definitely one of the better old Jamaicans with a nice honey banana note! could only have a few more %😅 but for a really nice harmony of wood, sweetness, fruitiness and light ester notes.

I honestly think this is outstanding quality. Only downside is the low ABV. Nevertheless the rum does not fail to deliver an intense profile. Highly recommended if excessive ABV is not (yet) your cup of tea.

Noble and elegant. A Jamaican that is not demanding and yet presents typical flavors. Ideal for the ambitious beginner.

Tastes much better to me now than when I first tasted it, probably because I now also noticed a toasty chocolate note alongside all the fruit and caramel/honey.

It is very good but it does not excel beyond its price point. Better integration of alcohol than its younger counterparts. One of those “you get exactly the level you paid for” kind of rums.

Die Nase verspricht mehr als er kann. Verliert im Mund deutlich an Power so das hauptsächlich milder Kakao übrig bleibt. Relativ trocken, ein Hauch Leder, Muskat. Tropische Früchte bleiben gegenüber der Nase undefiniert im Hintergrund. Was am meisten stört ist die wässrige Konsistenz.

Fein in der Nase, im Mund ist er ok aber nicht das was er zuerst verspricht. Gibt definitiv besseres für den Preis.

Il a passé 21 ans en fûts, ce qui lui a donné un cuivre profond ! C’est un rhum très élégant !

Sehr runder und gefälliger Rum. Preis Leistungsverhältnis ist nicht ganz getroffen. Viele Geschmacksnuancen. Ein Muss für jede Sammlung. Hervorragend zum Kennenlernen von Rum. 😃😎 Cheers

Für mich ist dieser Rum einfach solide, sehr sehr rund und ausgewogen im Geschmack aber es fehlt einfach Kraft im Geschmack. Mehr Appleton Hearts bitte 😁

Ein sehr schönes Geschmacksprofil, ist aber etwas zu gefällig und hat weniger Charakter als der 12 Years. Könnte kräftiger und komplexer sein. Die gute Alternative für einen Ron und ein guter Rum zu einer guten Zigarre.

It’s the best Appleton I have tried but not quite a wow rum. The 43% abv let’s it down a bit - would love to try at cask strength - as seems a bit light in the finish. Nose is excellent with well integrated sweet and complex wood, body a bit more one dimensional and spicer than the nose would suggest. Medium length finish which is pleasant just not quite moorish. Interested to try the Velier Hearts Collection and compare

Poprvé jsem ochutnal AE21 a vůbec bych ho nezařadil do Jamajky. Ve vůni sladká vanilka, chuť připomíná soleru, poměrně krátké tělo, ani závěr není moc dlouhý..rum je velmi hladký a zakulacený, žádná divočina.
