Significantly better than their cheaper signature rum, not my favourite but not bad all the same. Decent enough with splash of coke and ice.

Decent all around rum. Better than their Signature rum but nothing special.

A little bolder, a little more fiery, a little less well composed than Appleton's 12 year bottle. Something tangier or fruitier about this drink compared its older cousin. An almost bilious note under-running the flavor... but oddly not in an entirely unpleasant way.

Its sparkiness reminds me a bit of Mount Gay, actually. Overall, not bad, but around these parts this runs at the same price point as the 12 year, to which it doesn't compare favorably.

Ça goute la république, comme tous les autres Appleton. Un peu moins boisé que le 12 ans. Un peu épicé et poivré

A medium colour similar to the 12 year with a sweet nose. The taste is the same with that Appleton Jamacian funk, that is not really my thing. A good finish , with some burn. Best in a mixed drink. $38 CDN @ LCBO

Smooth and tasty. I really enjoy it neat. At first sip it is lush, full of flavour and fulfilling. The aftertaste is a little flat though.

Ok rum especially for a Jamaican. Still a bit gasoline-ish with a lack of robust flavour. Ive had much worse though.

The nose is really rather like that of a Spanish style - toffee, dried dark fruits (plum) and a hint of vanilla and coconut. The taste does show some Jamaican character though, with a hint of funk to go a long with the rather thin and otherwise sweet, mellow notes. Not bad, but a similar thing is better done by the Havana 7 years in my opinion. Unless you come from whisky and desire that pot still burn and funk, that is.

Not enjoyable straight up, but not offensive. Better choices in the 7 & 8 year blends

Above average rum for the average/ untrained palette (mine).
