RUM

Angostura 1919 is a specially blended multiple award winning rum, which celebrates a very particular date in the development of the rum industry in Trinidad & Tobago, as well as the Caribbean. After a fire in 1932, which destroyed the Government Rum Bond, the master blender of Fernandes Distillers, J.B. Fernandes, bought the charred casks, only to discover they had been filled in the year 1919. The prized rum was skillfully blended and called "1919 Aged Rum."

We looked at the Appleton 12 Year Estate last month and this month will check out Appleton 21 Year Estate; you remember: "Appleton shines the bold beauty of Jamaican Rum with defined and articulate elegance." All the rums contained in Appleton Estate 21 are a blend of rums aged for a minimum of 21 years before being blended and laid to further rest. The second rest takes about a year to allow the flavors and aromas to marry and provide an opportunity to slowly lower the (abv) proof-by adding water. This long aging in a tropical climate, careful blending and secondary rest produces a vigorous, deep, ruminative rum that stands tall along side any other fine, aged spirits. The aromas of brown sugar, baking spice, stewed dried tropical fruit, oxidized orange peel, vanilla and cocoa articulate a lusciously ambrosial invitation to respectfully sip. The flavors lead with an interwoven oak demonstration, roasted oily nuts (walnuts & pecans in particular), dark fruit, molasses and woodsy spice. These flavors are interlacing, wonderfully maintaining a remarkable balance. The finish dallies presenting vibrant delight in a diverting review of the subtlety displayed on the palate. There are only a limited number of this complex, intricate and exquisite rum released each year, a true collector

Appleton Rums demonstrate the bold beauty of Jamaican Rum with defined, articulate elegance and Appleton Estate 12 is a perfect manifestation of that goal.

The flavors follow the aromas to show the lovely scents as delectable flavors in an impeccable structure holding remarkable balance. The finish lingers deliberating an exuberant recapitulation of the marvelous refinement displayed on the palate. This rum is complex, intricate and exquisite; try this neat or with an ice cube.
