Kathryn,
Sweet and rich. Originally bought this as it was recommended as a "sweet" rum for Hungarian cookies I was making but as soon as I opened it this became a quick favorite. Very smooth.
Daphne,
Warm and sweet like toasted marshmallows. Really fantastic as either a sipper or a mixer. Jamaican lemonade with lemonade, ginger ale and this is a perfect summer, beach cocktail.
Kenneth,
Love this rum. Sweet and smooth enough to sip and also great for cocktails. I will order this again.
DAVID,
A solid rum for its price. Plenty of other options out there, but is smooth and enjoyable mixed.
Matthew,
Takes an otherwise ordinary rum (normal Appleton Estate) and adds a depth of oak and subtlety... But still a little bland
Matthew,
About as good as Rum gets. Strong notes of oak make the rum almost have a whiskey like finish
Eric,
very unique rum that does not follow other rum tastes. Has a apple aftertaste that makes it a one of a kind. Not the top of my list but has its place in the bar.
Antti,
It is a very good, rich, aged rum with a rich birth; while a a thick & creamy life; that leads to a long & dry death with notes of oak, orange & nutmeg.
Landis,
So far it's my go to Brandy. A little sweet with some bite. When I drank soda, I was a fan of mixing it with Coca-Cola. Not Pepsi or any other brand cola. Lets not get crazy.
Michael,
I struggled with this when I first tasted it. Not great neat. Not great with a splash of water. But, when I poured some over a large ice cube and let it chill, damn, that's good. There's a lot going on here. Banana on the nose with a sweet and spicy mouthfeel. There's a lot of flavor. I think I'm gonna enjoy this bottle.
Fred,
A good rum, definitely snifter or on the rocks class. I (gasp) mixed it and it was delightful, definite difference. Just cant bring myself to use this kind of quality in a mixed drink. PS. Not a big fan of rums normally.
David,
I like the taste. Makes up for the slight burn going down. Definitely would recommend to someone wanting to try different drinks like I do.
James,
Excellent rum for the price . Good as a mixer or straight. Love the Jamaican distillery.
Jason,
First tine I had this was at a Sandals in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. I brought back 6 bottle and I do so every time I go to Jamaica. This is THE rum. It’s outstanding. I prefer to mix it with a splash of pineapple juice, but it’s just as good on the rocks. Bigger flavor profile than other rum I’ve ever had.
Skyler,
Extremely good for this price point. I drink it straight on the rocks.
Brodie,
First time I tasted it wasn't fan but now the flavor has grown on me it is pretty good.
Michael,
Better than mont gay and not as smooth as higher class runs.
Donielle,
Had the pleasure of taking the tour in Jamaica. Like our guide said, the bottle has curves and is sexy, so it doesn't need any Pepsi. Definitely a sipping rum!
Bryan,
Long been an Appleton's fan. Particularly enjoy the sweet finish.
Jacqueline,
This is my go to rum for most drinks. A balanced spice palate with a natural sweetness, but not overpowering.
Derrel,
Like it. Not much of a rum drinker but keep it for friends who drink rum.
Tom,
Nice all rounder.
Wether neat or in a mix it’ can be a staple addition to any collection.
Golden colour.
Orange like on the nose with a hint of something sweet.
Spicy on the throat.
Bargain price.
Andrew,
I'm not all that interested in rums. Unless it's Appleton Estate and then I'm all over it.
Mark,
Found a glass of this with a large rock quite difficult to finish. Did not enjoy.
guest,
Favorite rum so far. Snifter glass a must. On the rocks for my taste.
Craig,
Makes a great dark and stormy. Tasting this neat, it tastes like another popular dark rum.
Jeffery,
Well rounded taste and smell. Smell reminds me of a whiskey. As far as taste it has a bit of a bit at first and smooths out afterwards. Really good rum in my opinion.
guest,
I'll need to revisit. I wasn't loving it. The accolades demand another try or two.
Duane,
The taste of this rum adds a special slice of Jamaica into any cocktail you add it to.
Max,
Deep and rich with a notably beautiful aroma. Sometimes I just grab the bottle for a pleasant whiff. If I could change anything, it would be a tiny bit softer.
