As a Rum enthusiast I always like to try new Rums and to me this was new, as my Liquor store usually does not carry Appleton Estate. Unfortunately at the moment it was either this, or their other less expensive options. Being under 20$ I did not have great expectations for this Rum, which is good because it was slightly below average (which for the price is ok with me). My biggest issue with this particular Rum was how awful it tastes straight or on the rocks. Could you drink this straight..? sure... would you enjoy it..? less than likely. In mixed drinks the prognosis is less grim, it blends well with orange juice, pineapple juice, and pina coladas just fine, it just doesn't enhance them like a great rum does. For these reasons, I would rate this a 4/10 if taken straight or on the rocks, and a 6/10 in mixed drinks; splitting the difference I'd round this out as a 5/10 overall. Not terrible, but certainly not good either.
A great addition to my bar. I found that it was a bit to harsh on the palate to drink straight but love this stuff in any tiki cocktail.
Smoother than the signature blend, it lack somehow of the bitty or funky taste that Appleton Estate is known for. For some reason I canβt explain, it reminds me the Captain Morgan Private Stock.
Keep your money and invest it on the Appleton Estate Rare Blend 12 years which is definitely a better bang for the buck.
I think this is a good rum for mixing and acceptable for sipping. The flavour is interesting and shouldn't be overlooked, but the rum is not incredibly smooth. Taste gets better with every subsequent glass.
Not awful, just not up to the hype. Strange fuel-like initial taste followed by a raspy finish mars the experience. Definitely not a sipping rum in my opinion and there are better as a base for mixed drinks out there. When one has lemons, one makes lemonade so methinks I'll use the rest of the bottle for rum sours.
Relative strong leaving (not the best), but all in all OK. I would go for the 12 year Rare Blend.
Nice spicy oak notes dominate, with only hints of fruit and just a small undertone of funk.
"A fruity experience. Itβs initially quite sweet β nice fruity notes banana, mango maybe a little grape, which fade into an almost tangy dry zesty spice. The finish is medium long."

Good solid banana smoothy for drinking on its own or blends well with a tiki drink.
