This is the first aged rum I'd come across. I tried it while in Jamaica on a cruise and absolutely loved it. Bought a few small bottles to bring back. I've been hooked on aged rum ever since. This one is pretty smooth with a bit of a harsh finish, but the flavors are outstanding. Not your typical rum with strong sweetness. This is refreshingly flavorful. Unique to say the least.

I can recommend it for stronger rum fans with straight taste. Not so extra flawoured.

Had this right on the beach in Negril. Same character as most Appletons. Maybe a bit more flavor. I found this to be more dry than expected. It's decent to try if you come across it but I wouldn't buy a bottle.

No tiene definido un sabor, asรญ como no tiene definido un tiempo de alejamiento, se me hizo un ron barato bastante caro.

Prima voor als er Jamaicaanse rum gevraagd wordt in een cocktail. In de Jamaican Mule bijvoorbeeld. Heeft die 'funk' en is ook puur goed te drinken.

Great for mixing, but too sharp to drink straight.

Not matured long enough for sipping. Still has that great Appleton flavor though and great for mixed drinks.

Good for mixing but only slightly better than the special

My favourite rum to be paired with cola. Not the greatest sipping rum, but great for mixing. A little sweet for some.

Great entry level from Appleton. Could drink it neat but would say (and as the price point suggest) it is a great โ€œpremiumโ€ mixer.

Good Jamaican signature aroma. Underlying sweetness, apricot, orange peel and some brown sugar. Itโ€™s a bit light on the palate as it is not that complex. Pretty much tastes as what you can smell on the nose and with a little alcohol burn at the end.

Great mixer for a good price (Can be easily find for less than ยฃ20 in UK)
