Appleton Estate 21 Year Old

01

This beauty from Jamaica is probably the world’s most widely available and best-known super-premium rum. Appleton Estate 21 Year Old ($120) is aged in Number One Select American oak barrels that impart a coppery, tawny hue and myriad flavors. “Dried apricot, baked apple, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, ginger, rye bread, and hints of Demerara sugar and black pepper. You’ll find all that and more in this one,” says Minnick. “Every serious rum lover should have a bottle in their collection.”
