Appleton Estate Special Gold rum is made using column and pot stills. The rum is then aged in Jack Daniel’s whiskey barrels and hand-blended.
The Special Gold Appleton brand is said to have been first blended during World War II as a substitute for whiskey, which was at the time difficult to find.

Not brilliant but not bad either for mixed drinks
Lacks the Ooomph of the V/X
For mixin' not sippin'. Does a darn good job at that. Very light body with some sweet rummy tastes. For the price, it gives you all you could expect.

This is a cheap okay rum. Take this to a party, hand it in and enjoy mixed with what ever. Not a sipper but the price you pay for this what do you expect

This bottle is simply to load up drinks to get the evening going. Keep this at any bar near a body of water and enjoy

Use this for your run of the mill cocktails and punch bowls. Won't make them excellent but does it's job.
As a mixer it's ok but no more than that, would I buy to keep on the shelf........ No probably not as there are better mixers out there!

I tasted this years and years ago in Jamaica. Perfect to mix but sipped neat there are way better rums. If the price is right just buy it

While I know this rum isn't really meant as a sipper, I'm giving it a go neat.
On the nose there is banana, pepper, salt, caramel, cloves and some sourness. The palate is caramel, light oak and pepper. Very thin and watery; simple flavours. The finish is coffee and very short.
Overall a very thin and simple rum, but there also isn't anything very off-putting.
