Appleton Joy

"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! 😍"

"Big name, big price, medium taste. Not bad, but price and fame probably come mainly from the marketing or the limitation. Quite complex and long in the mouth, despite the low alcohol, but then again also thin. Above all, very restrained in the nose. Overall, very spicy with dried fruits, which definitely show the age of this blend. For me, despite everything, no highlight, but good, complex and of course also tasty. Can you already also drink ;-)"

"Though a light profile rum I still like it a lot and this is my second bottle 😊 ---------- I just bought this one and I am not disappointed. This is a great rum and I decided to buy it after a tasting. If you like funky Jamaican then this is it."

"Relatively disappointing, had expected more. Rather trivial profile and for me the alcohol integration is not clean enough."

"It’s a much hyped bottle and for me just misses the target. It’s not in absolute terms a bad rum but I struggle to get excited about it in any regard. The nose is pleasant and settles down well, butterscotch and some oak and vanilla. The mouth is where it struggles a bit more, the integration is not quite there and light spice with some pot elements but an altogether unmemorable mouth. The finish retains some spice and is a bit more exciting but doesn’t draw you back in. It’s a collectors bottle more than a drinkers bottle and I would much prefer a Appleton 15/21 or one of the hearts bottles"

"To expensive, nice, but to easily, no punch no power no after tasting."

"Still very good."

"dřevo s karamelem, po dlouhé době nově ochutnaný Appleton, příjemně jemná nasládlá chuť"

"Ganz solide im Crusta."

"This stuff is very good . On the nose definitely orange and bannana. Drinking is lovely on the rocks with a jamaican rum taste then you can tell has been blended over years and years of trial and error ... A nice nod to the only female blender to work at Appleton , Joy ...."
