Appleton Estate Signature Blend

The nose on this rum is almost undetectable but delivers just a hint of butterscotch. The flavor is sweet and brandy-ish. It is all alcohol burn with a slight sweetness, but no significant overtones of other flavors. It has a kind of a dry scotch finish that ends quickly. It seems like a good mixer but does not offer much for slow sipping.

I think this is a good rum to introduce new comers to Jamaican rum. You know it's Jamaican from the nose and taste, but it is quite mild on the flavor, no real complexity, definitely no "funk". Some alcohol on the nose too, but it is reasonably smooth. Some molasses and a bit of bitterness on a fairly short finish. Not a fantastic sipper but not the worst either, works well as a mixer, and worth the price as such.

Was on vacation in Jamaica. Had to get a bottle from the cruise ship terminal and went with this one. It’s okay…not great and barely gets to good but has a good nose on it. Taste is mainly alcohol and not a lot of flavor. Pleasant aftertaste and good smooth swallow.

As part of a cocktail I would give this a 9/10 as it gives lots of great flavors to any cocktail. However, on its own it's only 6/10. It has some sweetness but burns in the throat and even more on the tongue.

A lovely rum for a pina colada. Just throw some pineapple chunks, ice and coconut cream in a blender, add some rum, blend and it cannot go wrong.

My main drive in buying it was the price which is on the entry level of the aged Rums. It is a decent sip but is not something I would buy it again.

Good rum nice flavours but tend to use as a mixer in cocktails such as a rum based old fashioned

Its young, so you can feel the spirituality, even acetone, as it happens from bourbon cask aging. But it's balanced, with the fruity notes and sweetness of Jamaican rums developing through out the testing.

Just a good base rum, adequate for its age, price and quality. I won't go down it.

Из-за молодости чувствуется спиртуозность, даже ацетон, как это бывает от выдержки в бочках из-под бурбона. Но он сбалансированный, с игрой фруктовых нот и сладости, свойственных ямайским ромам, вкус развивается в течение тестирования. Просто хороший базовый ром, адекватный своему возрасту, цене и качеству. Ниже него я не стала бы уходить.

Vypil som pár fliaš a na samotné popíjanie ho príliš nevyhľadávam. Ale so zazvorovym tonicom je dokonalý. Ide o základný Appleton rum, ktorý sa dá piť aj samostatne. Je jemne drevite s menej výrazným ovocím, nie úplne ľahký.
