I love it, it's hard to come by where I live. Was one of the first rum's I drank. It's well rounded a bit on the sweet side and has a little burn when it goes down.

Went camping and one if my friends had a bottle. I am not a fan of Bacardi, I'm more of a Havana club person. It wasn't bad, wouldn't buy it myself but it's okay to drink for that price. Not heavy on the taste, gives hints of vanilla and molasses.

Got this from a friend who doesn't drink, he liked the name....The smell makes your eyes water and it tastes like gasoline. Worst gift ever.

I bought it for mixing and it does the job. A bit heavy on the molasses and sweetness so I don't sip it. But in cocktails it's wonderfully spicy.

This is such a nice comfy Havana club. It's well rounded, has a nice sweetness and a slight burn when you swallow.

I bought it because a cocktail recipe asked for rhum which I had never heard of before. I like the well rounded taste. It's smooth and caries a cocktail quite well.

I tried this several times in Jamaica. Flavor was OK but no real complexity and a bit too much burn on the short finish. I would reserve this for mixing.

I have tried this neat several times. The flavors are OK but no real complexity. Note much of a finish either. I would suggest it as a good rum for mixed drinks.

This rum is a bit sweet for me. I am not good about identifying flavors but this one has anise/black licorice to my tastebuds that I don’t really enjoy. The rum is smooth and has some layers with a reasonably long finish.

A very smooth rum with good complexity and a long smooth finish. It is a very good rum but, in my opinion, not enough better than the 12 year Rare Cask to justify the price. The color and bottle are both exceptional.

Appleton 12 Rare Casks is the standard by which I judge other rums. It is not too sweet, has layers of complexity, and a long finish with a little heat. I always have a bottle of this on hand.

Aroma: Anorganické, lepidlo, lakované dřevo, léky??
Chuť: Mediciální s nahnilým ovocem (švestka)
Dozvuk: Sušené ovoce, lakovost se špetkou koření. Dlouhý, hřejivý a moc dobrý.
Sladkost: 0/3
Vzorek #2 na RumFest Praha 2020
Moje první setkání s jamajským rumem. Tento zasmrádlý technicko/ovocný styl jsem si ihned zamiloval.
Edit: Přechutnávka 18.10.2020: Ve vůni guma (pryž), na pozadí snad švestka a stále nemocniční smrádek.
V chuti sušené švestky, med, výrazný pepř a stále jsou cítit léky. V dozvuku sušené ovoce, malinko pepře se dřevem a lehce sherry až při dlouhém dozvuku.

Very enjoyable rum for $70, sweet nose with sultana/date and oaky flavour.
