Appleton Estate

Bravo Appleton It is in different league than 12yo Rare blend - not that chunky and not that "super tasty". It is in different league than 21yo - no smoke no oak.

Interesting, but nothing special Smooth, delicate, a yota spicy, but feels like has some sugar added. Short, flat aftertaste. Take Appleton 8 and/or El Dorado 8 for more enjoyment

Cool rum Strongest ever I've tried. Was surprised - it is smooth and tasty with authentic Gosling aroma. Cheers! Happy New Year!
