Appleton Estate Signature Blend

I'll be the first to admit that I'm not a huge fan of Appleton rums. But as far as Appleton rums go, this isn't bad!

Smells and tastes of oak, spice, and orange peel with a hint of molasses. It's not as good as the Reserve Blend and definitely not as good as the 12 year, but it's not that far behind.

If you like the Appleton rums more than me, you should like this just fine. If you don't like the Appletons (like myself), then you might consider spending more on the Joy Anniversary blend, which is a nice step up from the other Appletons.

It was a gift from a friend who went to Jamaica, so I do not want to be too critical. It was very strong straight and much better mixed.

Borderline undrinkable for me, I know this is the cheap of the cheap, but has put me off trying anything of more value in the Appleton range.

Look, for the price, this is a must have bottle, especially for cocktails. However, compared to the litany of other brilliant rums out there, it’s a beginner’s. No shade at all to it, but at $20-25 a bottle, you can’t get a whole lot better honestly.

Por su precio se deja tomar, especialmente en cocteles

My second Appleton. Nothing specjal. For me better for mixing.

На цвет и вкус пойдёт бухнуть под рыбку, но в общем не впечатлил!

Nice sweet taste for a Cuba Libre. A very affordable option for a quality brand.

Alkohol: 40 %
Původ: Jamajka
Aroma: Medově nasládlá, příjemná, i když trochu jednodušší vůně. Mléčná a peprmintová čokoláda, špetka koření. (83 b)
Chuť: V chuti řídký, dřevitá hořkost, tohle se mi ani trochu nelíbí. Něco koření se dá najít v dochuti, ale to už výsledný dojem nezachrání. (60 b)
Body: 71
Shrnutí: Ochutnán s kamarádem na naší zářijové akci. Vůně fajn, chuťově ale velká bída.

I recently got into rum, and unfortunately all the other six rums I tried during the first period had significant amounts of added sugar (between 20 and 50 g/L). This was the only exception, at <3 g/L. That makes this one very different from the others. More "savory" almost, more deep and much more characteristic, and infinitely less sweet. I do like it though, and find the caramel nose and taste interesting, and I am absolutely looking forward to trying a more aged one, 8 or 12 year for instance.
