Dillons rating is so high cause he paid a lot for it 😂
Now that you have tried something from Jamaica, I would love to see you guys go through Hampden, Long Pond (National Rums of Jamaica line) or Worthy Park. They are all quite different in profile, but also so good at the same time. They are probably one of my favorite if not favorite spirits.
Also, Dutch if you or Delightful Dylan/Market Correction Jules wants to get more into Jamaican Rum I would recommend doing a Hampden Estate and Worthy Park Drinkthrough. Appleton tends to be the least “funkiest” since they typically go for blended rum (pot still + column still), Worthy Park is usually the middle of the pack in terms of funkiness and Hampden Estate is the most (Usually only Pot Still Rum). There’s also the Foursquare Probitas/Veritas which is a collaboration with Hampden Estate - one of my favorite white/lightly aged rums.
Absolutely LOVE Appleton Estate! I keep their core lineup on hand at home, but I'm really looking forward to drinking as much of their super-rare rums as I can when I visit the distillery in December for my 40th!
Dutch giving up on editing in humble Dillon 😂😂
Totally!
Appleton just recently released a 17 Year Legend Offering. $500 SRP! Only 1,500 Bottles.
Jules gave a shameful 10 in true market correction silence 😂
I've been traveling for a bit this summer, gotta catch up on your videos! Great to see you moving in to Jamaican rum. Totally agree with Delightful Dillon's "olive" note on the nose, it's something you can pick up in other rums too, especially the unaged ones which tend to be a bit bolder/weirder on the nose (but really rich and interesting).
Dutch is right. "Hyper aging" doesn't necessarily make a spirit better. If it's a tropically aged rum, anything over 18 years or so can probably be considered "hyper aged"("continentally aged" rum can go longer). For Bourbon, that's perhaps 16+, and with Scotch, 26~30+? The reason why bourbon is younger than rum, is for the use of new oak. Hyper aged stuff is definitely more often unique. It may be great, it may be weird, it may be funky. It'll certainly be more expensive, but not necessarily better. We all need to know this so we don't go into it with unrealistic expectations.
Local weather and climate have an impact on this as well. Kentucky where a lot of bourbon is aged has pretty extreme fluctuations of hot winters and cold summers, which can help make the barrels have more assertive effects in less time compared to Scotland.
Wonder how this matches up with the 21 year, which I love.
Great review guys, u just saved me $300.
You need to do an Appleton DrinkThrough! Appleton is one of the foundation rums on my bar - lots of great cocktails are made with their rums (Signature, 8 year, and 12 year). I also like their 21 year as a sipping rum.
💯 Appleton 21 is amazing stuff
Agreed!!!
I like the idea of the drink through for Appleton as well! I have only had up to the 15yr. I want to get the 21yr but it’s gone up to $190 in my area.
“Disagreeing Dillon” 😂 Good stuff, guys.
I just acquired the 1984 Appleton Hearts. Paid waaaaaay too much but it’s for my 40th. Me and the Rum were born at the same time.
(Haven’t watched video yet) My jaw dropped haha when I saw the title/thumbnail. I’m a huge fan of rum and Appleton is my favorite rum brand. For the blind taste you should also taste against the Appleton 21 and Worthy Park Select (Jamaican rum). The highest rated Appleton Rum that I’ve seen online is Appleton 25 Joy & Appleton 30
Sometimes, he's delightful, and other times, Dillon is disgruntled 😅.
Anyone else here find themselves fast forwarding when Dillon is talking?😂 Lol, love ya Dijon Dillon......just not that much.
Bit surprised you guys didn't lower your scores as it got worse over time. Awesome stuff though!
How does the Appleton Heart series compare to the Foursquare ECS?
This is one of those videos where the way you speak of the drink does not align to the score. "Wouldn't go back to it, it's getting worse, drying, sour, tannic..." Letting the label get in the way of the score.
Let's just hope the comparison to foursquare 2007 is blind
.....and price getting in the way as well.
I expect this to beat Foursquare all day. Before watching the video.
I tried this at False Idol and I wasn't a fan. Lots of industrial petrol, diesel, kerosene notes. Not my jam.
Have u guys tried henessy XXO?
I think Dillon's had it. Not sure what he thought of it though.
@@CuriosityPublicoh that’s cool. Also I tried the normal henessy xo and it tasted like prunes, my palate is not developed but that’s all I got. Is that how it’s supposed to be?
Yo Quiero Rum
I vote to impeach Dutch and jules!
