8-On the nose, what's immediately striking is its balance. The woodiness is fine, the alcohol present but well blended, and no single aroma takes precedence over the others. Vanilla, floral notes, almond, wood and orange form a winning team.
8,5-On the palate, the attack is both lively and greedy (without being sweet). The cask is more present here than on the nose, but blends very well with the molasses and brings us nutty notes.
Once you've drunk the rum, you're back to the walnut.
8-The finish is relatively dry, yet long. A mixture of brown sugar and wood accompany us for several minutes after tasting.

Was disappointed, it lost all its character just for smoothness
Prefer 12 oddly enough

Smooth sipping rum. Taste some oak coming though. Nice dark color. The bottle is well presented with a copper cap.

Very good jamaican Rum. The new bottle and the new version seem to be a little bit tastier

I was given a very health sized pour of this and enjoyed it a lot. To date, the rare casks 12 year has been my most dependable well priced bottle of rum. Without having it side by side with this at the time, it was hard for me to differentiate the two at all. So while this is a superb rum in it's own right, it is also probably double he price of the rare cask 12 year... so I would opt for that instead.

Výborný suchý rum. Jemné aroma pomeranče a dubového sudu. Příjemná chuť, která je dlouho cítit v ústech.

This rum jumps out to the nose Immediately! An overwhelming scent of bright fruit and oak. The taste is similar to its scent. A bit dry, finishes quicker than I thought, but still not short. I taste quality; I can pick out the flavors easily, as they are pronounced and good. Slight bite to it. I can tell it's an Appleton by its profile. They did not stray from their process.

Hell of a discovering! A great Jamaican Rhum with its generous esthers, with a warm, delicate and so well balanced taste. And what a long and pleasant long finish!

Vůně: Lehce rozpouštědlo, dřevitá, lehce ovocná
Chuť: technika, čokoláda, dřevitá, ne tak výrazná
Dochuť: bourbonová, delší
Mne až tak neoslovil. 8,6/10

First off, this is good aged rum. Nice notes of caramel, vanilla, molasses, oak, raisins, ginger, and plum. A little funk. Very well put together. Give this to a whisky drinker who says they don't like rum. Gateway rum.

That said, in my opinion, this is hurt by it being bottled at just 43%; the finish is short to medium. For the price (around $150), I would want this at a higher ABV (ideally cask strength) and I bet it would be terrific and a fair value.

This is a quality spirit, but I ding it for the proof and price.
