Appleton Estate Signature Blend

I couldn't place the fresh, crisp flavor behind this rum. I kept wanting to say "apple" but I'm sure that was just the name getting to me. Not bad overall, decent for mixing but not my favorite. Bottle is kinda fun.

Warming and simple to drink over ice. A good standard for any cabinet.

As Appleton recommend, this is not meant to be a sipping rum.

Although drinkable straight don't expect much.

Great with ginger ale and a lime. Best mixed with cola, blends well, very moreish.

Very good in whiskey based cocktails like the classic old fashioned. I hear that it has such a whiskey like taste is because Appleton estate use ex jack Daniels barrels. I personally like to pair this with grapefruit juice. Use this as bait for your whiskey loving friends.

Smooth, sweet rum where the alcohol doesn't sting as much as it would in spirits. Good as a sipping rum but quite nice with spicier mixers such as ginger beer.

I don't get Appleton's labelling system, they have so many different rums but if this is really their signature blend then they need to sort their shit out. I know it's not their best rum in fact it's close to their worst. Should have called it Appleton Leftovers or something. Very strong alcohol smell.

Firts sip was reather poor, but after several minutes it developed interesting taste hard to define reather muddy organic

Ok neat or on the rocks but mixed in coctail and some weird metallic aftertaste happens...

Inte riktigt där för mig, tror denna gör sig bättre dom en blandrom än något fint man dricker efter maten. Lite för skarp och utmärkande spritsmak för mitt tycke.

I shouldn't have read the reviews beforehand because it might have biased me, but this rum is only decent and not super sweet and delicious like my favorite rums
