Appleton Estate Signature Blend

Bought it for Mai Tais
Not very nice as a sipper.
Decent in cocktails.

Borderline undrinkable for me, I know this is the cheap of the cheap, but has put me off trying anything of more value in the Appleton range.

Look, for the price, this is a must have bottle, especially for cocktails. However, compared to the litany of other brilliant rums out there, it’s a beginner’s. No shade at all to it, but at $20-25 a bottle, you can’t get a whole lot better honestly.

Por su precio se deja tomar, especialmente en cocteles

My second Appleton. Nothing specjal. For me better for mixing.

На цвет и вкус пойдёт бухнуть под рыбку, но в общем не впечатлил!

Nice sweet taste for a Cuba Libre. A very affordable option for a quality brand.

Alkohol: 40 %
Původ: Jamajka
Aroma: Medově nasládlá, příjemná, i když trochu jednodušší vůně. Mléčná a peprmintová čokoláda, špetka koření. (83 b)
Chuť: V chuti řídký, dřevitá hořkost, tohle se mi ani trochu nelíbí. Něco koření se dá najít v dochuti, ale to už výsledný dojem nezachrání. (60 b)
Body: 71
Shrnutí: Ochutnán s kamarádem na naší zářijové akci. Vůně fajn, chuťově ale velká bída.

I recently got into rum, and unfortunately all the other six rums I tried during the first period had significant amounts of added sugar (between 20 and 50 g/L). This was the only exception, at <3 g/L. That makes this one very different from the others. More "savory" almost, more deep and much more characteristic, and infinitely less sweet. I do like it though, and find the caramel nose and taste interesting, and I am absolutely looking forward to trying a more aged one, 8 or 12 year for instance.

Really? Bought it for cocktails, enjoyed it neat. Very pleasant surprise! 5.6 is way too low for this Jamaican spirit.
