Appleton Estate Reserve 8-Year

Prijemny, jemna drevitost, sladší, chutná všem. Pomer cena / kvalita je úplně úžasná.

This is a lovely drop. Its typical Appleton (12 is superior) with a smooth more mellow and subdued flavour that is enjoyable and easy to drink either straight or mixed. I would easily recommend this but personally prefer Mt Gay's offerings.

I don't really ever drink this neat, but it certainly isn't offensive that way. I keep 2 bottles on hand for my home Tiki bar because it's priced reasonably enough to be an everyday mixer for me. I reach for this bottle whenever I need a little extra character without too much funk.

Typical Jamaican rum, but I think I prefer the 12 year.

This is a great bottle to try if you've never had a Jamaican style rum. Rich and smokey, followed by a nice spicy funk. It has a stellar mouth feel and finish at this price point. I'll always have one on my shelf. Smooth, flavorful, and better than many bottles at this price!

As someone who enjoys sweet rums, this surprised me. I wasn't expecting much and was looking for that famous funk, but I was pleasantly surprised by the sweet nose and taste of caramel. A nice bottle to have around. This was a newer bottle than the one pictured in the review.

Had with coke and rum, was pleasant and smooth. No odd aftertastes

This is 2nd Appleton I have tried so of course I have to compare to the rare casks 12 year that I still have left. This 8 year reserve really holds its own against the rare casks. Both have nice deep amber color. Aroma for me was identical. I find that the 12 year rare casks just has a tiny bit more character and depth than the 8 year reserve. But the 8 year was about 30% cheaper.So yeah, the 12 year rare cask is slightly better but for the price the 8 year is a great value.

was a decent rum but I think in my opinion I not had a Jamaican rum what's wow me so far I think Barbados rums are better than Jamaican rums in my opinion though maybe one day I will find a very good Jamaica rum

When it’s on sale for under $25, worth EVERY penny. Even decent sipper over ice.
