Appleton Estate V/X

Starts as a lighter, fruity taste and ends with more of a whiskey, smokey flavour. Longer finish than most, with a spice that lingers. More dry then sweet.

Standard amber rum, infact right now its my bar's house pour. I know ive only given it a 6 but for me a 6 is a good standard score. Theres a lot better around but you could do a lot worse!

Smooth and easy sipping.

One of my top choice rums

tastes like a Jamaican rum should, big flavours but a little bit harsh

If you want a good example of the Jamaican style, this is a good way to go at about half the price (in most areas) of the 12 year.

Appleton is usually regarded with positive views. I wonder if it is really justified, while this bottle isn't bad, it isn't superb neither.

Good well around.

I am a fan of the Jamaican style of rum. The v/x is a nice intro to this style

My wife bought a bottle of the Reserve and the V/X for my birthday last year. This is very good to sip, but at a price where mixing isn't a sin either.

Nice in mixed drinks
