Appleton Estate Signature Blend

Better value than other rums for the price. Mount Gay Eclipse used to be my go-to rum for mixing with coke, but this blows it out the water and costs about the same.
Makes a very good mixer, with more complexity to the taste profile than most rums in the £20 ball-park. "Funk" is definitely present, as you would expect from a Jamaican rum, but it's not too overpowering and pairs nicely with coke. Less complex and less smooth than I would ideally want from a good sipping rum, but it is quite drinkable neat (it's the cheapest rum I would say this about).
I've rated it 8 due to the great value for money.

S tymto rumom som dlho bojoval. ked som otvoril flasu hned som vedel ze sam nedopijem, rovnako ako mne nikomu inemu nechutil. Zrejme treba vyskusat nieco lepsie od Appletonu.

Used as a mixing rum under Martin Cate's category of "blended lightly aged".
Good for that but not a sipper.

Need to mix a tiki drink or English-style rum punch without breaking the bank? Reach for this. While it's nowhere near the lead for funkiest Jamaican or best sipper, it's got a solid flavor in its own right, and it does the job just fine in either a foreground or background role in a mixed drink.

Golden color, light nose light on the tongue, lingering taste. Solid but not spectacular

I felt it was different from other Appleton products. Mild at first, but the metal smell is not a nice one. It's ok. I tried with 1 ice cube maybe in a mix a maybe a little better.

I definitely enjoyed this rum over some ice. It is missing something for sure.

This stuff doesn't offend, but I find it lacks character. If a cocktail calls for Jamaican rum, give me Smith and Cross.

I used to drink a lot of this and I considered it pretty primo back when I was 20 and usually getting shitfaced off Captain Morgan Spiced with Coke, but 15 years later my tastes have changed and to me this has a very distinct flavour that isn't quite awesome. Drink this if you're a classy alcoholic.
