Appleton 15 Years Black River Casks

"This new release is more on the roasted side than the other ones. Lightly fruity with vanilla and wonderful caramel. On the palate there is wonderful roasted wood and I find it nice and round with and oily feel on the tongue. Price to quality is very good in my mind."

"An easy introduction to the world of Jamaican rums. From memory, I like the 12-year-old a little better, but I would have to try them in parallel. Personally, I don't like the bitterness, which I find far too dominant. All in all, a little characterless, there are stronger representatives of the Jamaican style, even in the lower price segment."

"Caramel, cedar wood, vegetal, cinnamon, pineapple and citrus on the nose. The palate has a clean attack, the fruit is there and the aromas rise and fall gently. They fade together fairly quickly, leaving mainly caramel and cedar. A good rum for the price, very well made."

"Am after the 12th GRF still too exhausted for a proper evaluation. But nice unspectacular rum after the exciting variety of the last few days. And a worthy gentle start to the year until the next German Rum Festival."

"Great value for money. Very good jamaicain in this price range, with a woody, low-ester profile. Personally, I really like this little jamaican rum, which I find relaxed."

"A smooth, rounded rum with a strong vanilla presence on the palate (a little too much for my taste). The value for money is good, but nothing more, and a few degrees more (it's 43) would bring a little more strength to this rum."

"Beautiful entry appleton"

"Beautiful copper color.In the nose a lot of orange and coconut. Chocolate. Easy.In the mouth then woodier and roasted.Blind I would probably have typed Fourquare. Crafted well, but new territory is not won here.A good sipper to the cigar and - if you get it cheap - a good entry rum."

"Le rhum appelton Estate 15 ans d'âge Black River Casks est un rhum agréable. Dominante boisée, caramel, vanille et aussi pimentée. Alcool légèrement présent en bouche. La finale est moyenne et boisée, pimentée avec des notes de caramel brun."

"Love the longer finish and complexity. My favorite Jamaican rum. Really love this Appleton estate. A little bit better than its 12 year twin. Have some hearts collection. Home to taste some of them. Especially 1984 (the flagship)."

"Nice and unagitated, very pleasing, super Jamaica beginner."

"Wie erwartet, ist der Jamaika Funk hier im Wesentlichen auf etwas Banane beschränkt. Diese harmoiert aber schön mit den warmen, würzigen Aromen die an ein weihnachtliches Bananenbrot erinnern. Mit 43% aber einfach zu dünn."

"Intense notes of burnt slightly bitter caramel, banana, baked apple and wood, and roasted nuts. Nice solid Appleton with a good complexity despite drinking strength and appealing appearance. Price wise it could cost 10€ less but still a solid new product from the house of Appleton!"

"A little too sweet for my taste, but it has lovely aromas on both the nose and the palate. Good relaxing rum"

"Very well rounded and balanced rum. I was worried it would be too woody but the oak is matched with spice, esters, and subtle sweetness without too many tannins. Terrific mouthfeel."
