Not overwhelming in any one characteristic. A bit astringent, but not unbearable. Good mixer, relatively smooth.

Nothing special, good with coke. Bit harsh.

This rum is good for those who are looking to move up from the standard bar selections, great mixer, very good with a squeeze of lime and a pinch of sugar, and it is tolerable as a sipper.

And a good mixer for the price. I often find this in place of AE 12 year. Not as good but comparable. Mostly used as a mixer.

Appleton makes some very good rums. This one is ok, good for mixers while tailgating at a Buffett show, but not my top shelf liquor. It has decent clor, fair aroma, and the vanilla hints go good with coke zero.

Has a strong, raw cane smell/taste to it, but reasonably smooth. Compared to the 8 or 12 it seems like an out of focus version of the older Appletons. Still, it makes a good drink and you can sip it.
Ots a resonable aged rum, with a short pasa In oak barrels, toó muchos alcohol smell and favor. Only forma mixing whit cola and juice fruits

Mixed up it's a great drink - adds enough golden flavour without being overpowering.

Not a bad mixed rum, ok straight but a good mixer
Entry-level rum in the Appleton Estate family
"Appleton Estate V/X rum review by The Rum Howler"
One of the most ancient distilleries of them all
"Appleton Estate V/X rum review by Steve Crotty via Rum & Reviews"
Gives a fairly pungent scent of molasses, black pepper and sweet alcohol.
"A touch of vanilla and ginger. There is still a hit of molasses on the nose and some spiced black pepper. The rum is quite delicate initially. It is a hot spicy rum."

This is OK as a mixer rum or consumed with coke but completely dreadful as straight up or on the rocks rum... Appleton highly priced and over rated
