Not a rum, tastes more like whisky, very disappointing!

It's a young blend. You will find bananas, grass and some fruitiness. The finish is not so long. Very balanced rum, not overpowering also. I buyed at sale for 15euro 1l. and for that money is difficult to find something better. Usually, I'm using the signature in cocktails. Good for daquiris and some other tiki classics like mai tai.

Дуже гарний ром для коктейлів.
Без претензій на щось цікаве.
Якісний алкоголь за свої кошти(14$)

Я не понял этот ром. Он какой-то никакой. Выпил и забыл. Собственно так и произошло, парочка дегустаций и я о нем практически забыл.

I would get a bottle of this standard Appleton Estate Signature or a Mount Gay (Eclipse), get some fiery ginger beer, and head down to Notting Hill Carnival to dance, eat and be very merry. For that alone, it gets a 6. I don't think I've ever tried to sip it and I'm not gonna start now, but I applaud them for getting many a young Londoner on the rum bandwagon.

Это моё первое знакомство с ромом ямайского стиля.
Дата розлива: 05.03.2018г.
Нос: мягкий, но тяжелый. Табак, мокрая прелая листва, орехи, гарь от абразивного круга, изолента, горелая лакокраска.
Вкус: мягкий, вначале сладкий, но быстро переходит к горчинке.
Финиш: средний и на удивление яркий. Некоторое время во рту присутствует привкус, который бывает после посещения дантиста – это устойчивый вкус зубной пыли и медикаментов.
Итог: знакомство прошло хорошо, мы друг друга поняли. Общение можно продолжить. Это добротный ром начального уровня, обладающий интересным ароматом и ярким вкусом.

This blend is a decent mixer and not much else beyond that. Tried neat, there's not much interesting going on.

For the money it's a good mixer but too harsh to drink it neat. Not that balanced, not too much funk but you get that Jamaica rum flavors for sure. You don't have to be sorry if you want to try cocktails with it.

The nose on this rum is almost undetectable but delivers just a hint of butterscotch. The flavor is sweet and brandy-ish. It is all alcohol burn with a slight sweetness, but no significant overtones of other flavors. It has a kind of a dry scotch finish that ends quickly. It seems like a good mixer but does not offer much for slow sipping.

I think this is a good rum to introduce new comers to Jamaican rum. You know it's Jamaican from the nose and taste, but it is quite mild on the flavor, no real complexity, definitely no "funk". Some alcohol on the nose too, but it is reasonably smooth. Some molasses and a bit of bitterness on a fairly short finish. Not a fantastic sipper but not the worst either, works well as a mixer, and worth the price as such.

Could make a great Mai Tai

I have been hesitant for quite some time to buy a bottle of this and rate it. Appleton claims that it is a replacement for it's V/X that has been discontinued. Well, not exactly! The average age of the rums being blended here are a few years younger than the old V/X. This was a strictly cost cutting measure from Appleton.
Pouring some into the snifter shows it to be a deep orange color with faint aromas of hogo funk. Somehow, this blend retains some of the hogo funk on the palate. I now have no regrets in buying it.
With six ingredients to blend all of the flavors into a Mai Tai, I would gladly use this one instead of a more expensive Jamaican rum. As for sipping this one neat, spend a few more dollars to get their Reserve Blend. Their 12 Year Rare Blend is almost twice the price of this one, but I now have this Signature Blend ranked only one point below it. The Reserve Blend is the best bang for the buck when it comes to Appleton Estate rums, but it is also much harder to find.
