Appleton Estate Signature Blend

Tastse like a high quality rum should taste. I usually only use this rum in cocktails but it's actually ok for sipping. It's not the best but considering value for money I wouldn't mind adding it to my collection

I'll be the first to admit that I'm not a huge fan of Appleton rums. But as far as Appleton rums go, this isn't bad!

Smells and tastes of oak, spice, and orange peel with a hint of molasses. It's not as good as the Reserve Blend and definitely not as good as the 12 year, but it's not that far behind.

If you like the Appleton rums more than me, you should like this just fine. If you don't like the Appletons (like myself), then you might consider spending more on the Joy Anniversary blend, which is a nice step up from the other Appletons.

Opět jsem byl podroben slepému testu. Kamarád nakupoval v bezcelní zóně v Egyptě, a tak jsem se zase rád nechal překvapit, co si dovezl.
Alkohol: 40 %
Původ: Jamajka
Aroma: První přivonění...že by karibský rum? Voní nějak povědomě. Koženě pomerančové, nasládlé aroma. Postupně se přidává koření, hlavně skořice. Trochu až vánoční nádech, marcipán, karamel. Vůně je OK. (84 b)
Chuť: Oproti vůni je ale v chuti dost suchý. Koření, kůže a pomeranče ale zůstávají. Jen bez sladkosti. Dochuť je pak hřebíčková. (78 b)
Body: 81/100
Shrnutí: Podle vůně povědomé, po ochutnání už si ale jistý nejsem. Každopádně tipuju karibský rum. Přesnou destinaci si ale netroufám hádat. Něco základnějšího, ale může být odkudkoliv.

It was a gift from a friend who went to Jamaica, so I do not want to be too critical. It was very strong straight and much better mixed.

Was not impressed with this rum from a big name ,it seemed harsh And rough on the pallete and more like a lower end whiskey to me and needed a lot of mixer, would not buy again.

Not very smooth, no distinct flavour, no distinct nose. It's not "awful" in any of those categories, but it's not good either.

Better than the bottom shelf, not for sipping but a good base for cocktails and tiki drinks.

Jamaican funk and good as a sipper. Quite nice. Try it.

Light body, not much on the nose- like a toned down version of V/X and lacking complexity. Good as a mixer, not a lot of bite to it. Apparently it's the same rum, but I'm having them side by side and they definitely do not taste the same. I'd give the V/X a 7 by comparison. I will continue using it in cocktails, but something else may take it's place when it's gone...

Average rum, bought for 16 eur, good taste. Cheers !!!
