No tiene definido un sabor, asΓ­ como no tiene definido un tiempo de alejamiento, se me hizo un ron barato bastante caro.

I really love the flavor of Appleton Estate V/X when mixed with Coke/Pepsi. This is my go to for a strong, flavourful Rum and Coke.

At least on the rocks because a bit harsh for me.
Nice product.
Prefer the older ones from this Family.

Appleton produces some higher rated rums, but this one left me wanting. The blend does lend to a unique flavor but misses the take.

This was my first Appleton Estate rum, so I was going in expecting a whole bouquet of flavours. Unfortunately, save for some very pleasant softness, there really wasn't that much of an exotic flavour to it. Yes - it's a Jamaican-style rum, so some cask burn and spice are expected, but the journey was over too soon, and the finish wasn't very delicate either (it does gain in complexity after a couple of sips, and benefits from some breathing time). It's a pretty average rum that can be commended for no added sugar. But let's not forget, sometimes added sugar actually allows other flavours to come through (such as the case with Zacapa 23 Solera). I'm looking forward to trying other Appleton rums I keep hearing legends about.

This is a pretty good drink. No added sugar and so it's got a bit of a burn and it's not super smooth but it's good rum.

Love the thick sweetness compared to cheaper spiced rums.

Looks good on the bar at a party, but I have no problem catching a cab and leaving this rum behind. There are a lot more interesting ones to be had, including its mature, spicey older sister.

Not quite sophisticated enough to be a "sipper". But still good.

Not the greatest Appletons but for the price you pay it will deliver. Can be drunk on its own and isn't too rough, at its best mixing with your favourite side tipple. Will give you an honest taste of Jamaica and go well with your jerk pork.

Although if you can afford to go higher up the Appletons rum tree, you will be rewarded.
