Appleton Estate Reserve 8-Year

Nice little rum, quiet enjoyable taste and will always be on my shelf
Well done

Bon rhum mais goût prononcé. Fort au gout. Plusieurs années amène un goûts plus fort.

Es un ron que se me hace demasiado potente para beber solo. Bueno para mezclas.

Not much to say about this rum...or you like it, or you dont...and I dont...

Once again Appleton Estate never fails great rum as always

Not my favourite to start, but getting there. Fairly smooth, and for me easy to enjoy. Although on first sip I found it bit bland, but that's changing.

À venir prochainement.............................

It beats all the "Anejos" on the market to death... I like this one with coke but it can be sipped neat, on the rocks, or in a mixed drink. The aged flavors push right through and the smell is hypnotizing.

If this rum is a step up from the regular blend Appleton, then it should taste like it. I was not impressed with the lack of punch and flavour from a rum that is aged 8 years. In fact, i stopped after just one. There are far better 5-8 year old rums at the same cost. Initial taste is flat with a hint of vanilla, ends with a sharp, sour note. If you have to add a lime, have a Corona.

Not a great sipping rum, but Appleton Estates 8 year old is one of the best readily available mixing rums at it's price point. Mixed with cola or into a Cuba Libre this is a great rum.
