Another good mixing rum but the 12 yo is a much better choice.

Un rhum qui témoigne bien du savoir faire jamaïcain en la matière. Il ne vous laissera pas indifférent. En bouche, vous constaterez un équilibre parfait ! Un rhum affirmé, légèrement doux, avec des flaveurs bien tropicales ! La finale est assez persistante, pour le plus grand bonheur de l’amateur !
Cheers !

This is one of the best 8-year aged rums I've tried so far and is definitely worth the price. If you can, it's still worth spending the few extra bucks for the 12-year Appleton.

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!

This is easily accessible and affordable, not too funky but adds what it needs to drinks.

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.

This 8 year works fine as a base for many tiki cocktails, but if you have the money I would go for their next level up.

Wife and I honeymooned in Jamaica so I thought I’d snag i nice bottle to bring back. Definitely strong when compared to others. Very earthy warm taste.

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

On the nose I can smell banana, coconut, caramel, wood and elderberry flower. The taste profile is smooth, it has strong Jamaica sweet overripe banana profile, with undertones of white oak and leather, it ends in a spicy, slightly bitter aftertaste, all pleasant. I noticed the change of the label to a simple one, with just big eight instead of the picture, not sure if I am rating the same stuff as my predecessors here. Overall, I am very pleased with this rum, it is recognizably Jamaica, but not over the top, well made, without additives, which I like a lot. For some reason I can can get it only for the same price as Appleton 12y, which does not make much sense to me.

Nice flavour easy to drink on ice. One of my favourite Appleton rhum.
