- Excerpt: If the sweetness found on the nose had been integrated into orange peel, the oak and the sap then this rum would be a masterpiece; however the Appleton 21 Tear Old Rum falls just short. Excellence is achieved, but mastery is elusive.

- Excerpt: Nice, but still a bit thin in the palate. I'm really surprised at how thin this was overall, given the age, but then again - age is just one small part of releasing a great spirit.

Intro:
This is a 21 year old, minimum age stated, Jamaican rum from Appleton Estate. It has been colored. I tasted this blind, knowing that it was a rum product, and the brand was revealed to me after I took down notes and assigned a score. For more blind shenanigans, check out the Whiskey Network Discord, which has expanded nicely into just about any spirits category there is.
-
Nose:
Honey, tobacco, cotton candy, tangerine. Really strange, but interesting.
-
Taste:
Thin, funky, ripe banana, pepper, orange, brown sugar
-
Finish:
Medium length, sweet maple, honey and orange. Clove, brown sugar.
-
Overall:
Nice, but still a bit thin in the palate. I'm really surprised at how thin this was overall, given the age, but then again - age is just one small part of releasing a great spirit.
