I'm a bit surprised about the ratings. For me it's a really decent rum with good flavours of fruit/caramel. I drink it neat. My wife loves it with a bit of pineapple juice.

Not the best by far, but value for money it's great.

Can be sipped, but easier with a mix.

Would buy again

I've been hunting this one for at least 6 months.
The nose reminds me of the 12yr Rare Cask but lighter. Soft vanilla, banana and spice. Unlike the Rare Cask, those don't transfer over to the taste as much. I get a toffee up front that's followed by a peppery spice that has a light hint of vanilla in the background.

Velice intenzivní dubová chuť s náznakem ovoce a koření. Po prvním napití jsem váhal s budoucím hodnocením, neboť mě příliž neoslovil. Po několika dalších mě ale tento rum získal a z těch sušších rumů je můj favorit. Doporučuji vyzkoušet. K této značce určitě ještě vrátím.

Jedná se o "novou" verzi Appleton Estate Reserve vytvořenou Joy Spence k oslavě 250. výročí značky.
Rumy použité v blendu jsou všechny 8 let staré a zrály v amerických dubových sudech po bourbonu.

Aroma: Svěží tropické ovoce, leštěnka na nábytek, mokré dřevo, na pozadí lehounce koření.
Chuť: Vanilka, lehounce dřevo a sušené ovoce. Velmi jemná.
Dozvuk: Závan kořenitosti a nálož sušeného ovoce (rozinky, meruňky). Střední
Sladkost: 0/3
Celá lahev
Velmi solidní "základovka" za velmi dobrou cenu. Pro začátečníky či jako přechod k neslazeným rumům ideální.

This rum surprised me, although I didn’t exactly know what to expect. For clarification, being a HUGE fan of Jamaican rums (the more hogo the better!), I want super impressed with Appleton’s Signature Blend. It’s fine, don’t get me wrong, and I’d surely use it in cocktails, but it’s not being drank neat. I was missing the funk and character of the Jamaicans I so eagerly chase. That all being said, I was hoping the 8 year Reserve would Reserve something a little more special for me. And it did! It had enough funk to remind me of its origin, and a nice smooth, lightly caramel and toffee backbone that begs for another sip. Think Plantation 5 year without the added sweetness/sugars. Superb rum for mixing, or sipping, and particularly at its modest price point.

Sattes Bernstein im Glas. Ist gefärbt und so auf der Flasche bezeichnet.
In Nase weich und dezent. Karamell und Früchte durchbrechen nach langer offener Zeit den alkoholischen Dunst und geben ihr Geheimnis preis. Banane, Ananas, Vanille tanzen im Rhythmus der Hölzer.
Am Gaumen dezent und harmonisch. Tropische Früchte, Banane, Ananas und Mangos tragen das Karamell voller Respekt über die Zunge. Edle Holznoten und feinste Gewürze sind stimmig eingebunden.
Im Abgang harmonisch und lang. Wie ein karibischer Sonnenuntergang, alles verschwindet langsam nach und nach.
Ein gutgemachter simpler Rum ohne den ganzen "funk / hogo" High Ester Firlefanz. :-) Von Joy perfekt und harmonisch geblendet. Für Einsteiger, Barkeeper und Wer auch immer.
Für meine 8. Rum Runde.

Rich amber in the glass. Is colored and so designated on the bottle.
In nose soft and discreet. Caramel and fruit break through the alcoholic haze after a long open time and reveal their secret. Banana, pineapple, vanilla dance to the rhythm of the woods.
Subtle and harmonious on the palate. Tropical fruits, banana, pineapple and mangoes carry the caramel across the tongue with respect. Noble wood notes and finest spices are harmoniously integrated.
The finish is harmonious and long. Like a Caribbean sunset, everything slowly disappears little by little.
A well-made simple rum without all the "funk / hogo" High Ester frippery. :-) Blended perfectly and harmoniously by Joy. For beginners, bartenders and whoever.
For my 8th rum round.
