Spicy

A little harsh but not overwhelmingly so. Has a noticeable spiciness to it with only hints of sweetness (especially the aftertaste). Beautiful amber color. Nice rum but not a sipper IMHO. A very good mixing rum. I get a noticable oak flavor to it and a butteriness believe it or not. Good stuff. Definitely one to have onhand for mixed drinks.

A good introduction to the spirit.

Sweet, a little harsh, and full of spices. Appletons flavor has come to be synonymous with Jamaican spiced rum.

All right, but.

A bit harsh, but not bad in a typical tropical fruity drink.

OK!

Just as a sign of respect for the people making the rum, I won't give it a 1. If you want to make me mad, serve me this rum. Harsh, bad tasting, this is by far the rum I like the least.

Never cared for it

Cant really recommend to anyone. If you like agricole rums, you can try this. It has similar taste, but still...

Mix it

The nose was disappointing and the taste was disappointing. I didn't expect much at that price point but other rums at that level were a lot better

Bitter

Professional Reviews

Entry-level rum in the Appleton Estate family

"Appleton Estate V/X rum review by The Rum Howler"

One of the most ancient distilleries of them all

"Appleton Estate V/X rum review by Steve Crotty via Rum & Reviews"

Gives a fairly pungent scent of molasses, black pepper and sweet alcohol.

"A touch of vanilla and ginger. There is still a hit of molasses on the nose and some spiced black pepper. The rum is quite delicate initially. It is a hot spicy rum."
