A défaut du 12 ans, je me suis rabattu sur le 8 ans. Un peu déçu par rapport à l'attente, trop agressif en bouche à mon goût mais c'est semble-t-il le style jamaïcain.

When it’s on sale for under $25, worth EVERY penny. Even decent sipper over ice.

There's no doubting the quality of this rum. However, I would say this blend has been designed with eye to encroach on the whiskey market. I think it's been aged in bourbon barrels and that characteristic shows in a pleasing way. I would definitely buy this again, especially as it makes a surprisingly good rum & coke, minus the lime. For sipping on a cold winter's night this is perfect but I can see why it might not fulfil everyones aged rum fantasy.
Highly recommended and the current rating (6.7) seems to reflect preference rather than quality.

was a decent rum but I think in my opinion I not had a Jamaican rum what's wow me so far I think Barbados rums are better than Jamaican rums in my opinion though maybe one day I will find a very good Jamaica rum

This is 2nd Appleton I have tried so of course I have to compare to the rare casks 12 year that I still have left. This 8 year reserve really holds its own against the rare casks. Both have nice deep amber color. Aroma for me was identical. I find that the 12 year rare casks just has a tiny bit more character and depth than the 8 year reserve. But the 8 year was about 30% cheaper.So yeah, the 12 year rare cask is slightly better but for the price the 8 year is a great value.

Acheté au hasard, je lui donne une bonne car sans être exceptionnel on sent qu'il a été bien travaillé. Donne envie d'en goûter un plus âgé.

I could hardly differentiate between this one (8yr old) and the 12yr old. And I love the 12.. The eight is unusually more expensive than the 12yr in my region, I am unsure why, but that explains why I have taken so long to try it.
What a beauty, not as much funk as the 12, but just enough. Lovely depth of flavour and a nice abv to boot giving it balance and a mmmm at the end. Splendid

Love the profile, I’d say more flavorful than the 12. Easy to drink straight. Good to mix. All around great rum. Still get a little hidden Hogo. Orange presence.

Un produit très bien fait mais qui ne correspond pas à mes goûts

Typical Jamaican rum, but I think I prefer the 12 year.
