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.

 Very shy nose, no texture and very short finish. Dilution simply kills it. What the use to release a 15 years old that got less character than the previous 12?

 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.

 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.

 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.

 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.

 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.

 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.

 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).

 Beautiful entry appleton

 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.

 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.

 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.

 Nice and unagitated, very pleasing, super Jamaica beginner.

 Very smooth but not weak at all. Fruity with a tiny bit af esters and also a nice woody touch. I like it a lot.
