Appleton Estate 8-Year

Appletons have that strange distinctive odour. Hard to smell anything beside that. The taste is alcoholic fiery, dry but sweet anyhow. There is also afterburn, but decent one. For 8 yrs, it should be better rounded and mellowed, more refined. 8 years or not, this one has qualities to be rather mixer than sipper. Altrough I very liek 12yrs and V/X Appletons, this one is little bit of dissapoitment for sipping. So better mix it up or mellow it down with ice/water.

like in title....not bad...but definetly nothing special.

Just not quite good enough for sipping in my humble opinion.

I had a few drinks of Appleton Estate 8y while vacationing in Mexico. Bottle and label design are like any other Appleton Estate franchise. Very strong alcohol to the nose and palate if neat sipped. Mixes rather well with your favorite soda drinks.

Jamaican funk, a touch hot, but ok as a sipper.
shines is cocktails.

For an aged rum it doesn't show it, drinkable in a pinch but outclassed by lesser offerings which is a sacrilege and offense on the consumer.

Un ron que decepciona al parecer mas joven de lo que es.

Not my favorite but still pretty good rum for god price

Not my kind of sipper..but a well rounded rum and good mixer.

Its a good product, the people drink it with Apple Soda. Its too sweet!

I first came across the standard 8y Appleton Estate about 12 years ago. I thought it was fabulous. Now however I find the malasses flavor too sweet, even when mixing it with Canada Dry.

Nothing special, but a solid rum for mixing with a decent taste. Not good enough to drink straight in my opinion.

Trochu moc ostrý.
Určitě se vyplatí trochu připlatit a sáhnout po 12-ti letem bráchovi...

Fairly standard Jamaican rum, bought this on holiday and enjoy mixing it with coke, a bit too burny to sip

I have the same critic as Shane Hadley ............

Nez plutôt fin.
Bouche initiale forte en alcool. Finale boisée plutôt agréable !
Peu de sucre et de vanille

A go to rum for me. Adds more smooth taste than the V/X, and has the great Appletons taste.

Best of Appleton rum I tasted ... yet. Better than the V/X

Bought this as a sipping Rum but really needs to be added to Coke or something else to make a long drink

Nice little rum, quiet enjoyable taste and will always be on my shelf
Well done

Bon rhum mais goût prononcé. Fort au gout. Plusieurs années amène un goûts plus fort.

Es un ron que se me hace demasiado potente para beber solo. Bueno para mezclas.

Not much to say about this rum...or you like it, or you dont...and I dont...

Once again Appleton Estate never fails great rum as always
