Appleton Estate 21 Year Limited Edition

Mahogany color. The nose feels rich and viscous, with notes of butterscotch, fried plantains, allspice, lemon zest, chocolate covered orange peel and vanilla bean. The mouthfeel is warm and velvety. The palate is a continuation of the nose, with more butterscotch, chocolate covered orange peel, and allspice, along with burnt sugar, hazelnuts and oak tannins on the back end. The finish is fairly short and initially dominated by the burnt sugar and tannic oak, then transitioning to orange zest and ripe bananas.

Somewhat hot. Good Jamaican rum flavor. Gets better as ice melts.
