Appleton Estate 8 Year Reserve Rum

Enjoyed neat & w/Barritts ginger beer, lime (dark & stormy). It's good, not amazing. Had slightly higher hopes for it. But very drinkable neat. Lacks depth. Will try other Applton Estate.

Caramel nose. Leather and wood flavor. Banana aftertaste. Not bad for Jamaican rum.

Beautiful Jamaican, I really love it. On tiki drink is perfect but it's good also neat

Nose is toffee and bananas and papaya. Taste is more cane-y, with a bit of a more syrupy body without much sweetness. Some more coconut comes through on the taste. Clean sugarcane finish. Not a super standout but there's nothing to criticize.

Nose: Ripe bananas, Jamaican rum funk, some dark cocoa, fresh dark roast coffee beans/grind, underlying bright tropical fruitiness (mango and papaya), baking spices (cloves, nutmeg, allspice), some mixed ground pepper, a hint of Cuban tobacco sweet earthiness, banana bread with a hint of ginger, sweet Turkish tobacco, treacle and thick molasses, a dash of honey, dark fruity wine gums, candied pear and floral eau de cologne, old oak with cashews in the background, light barrel char and caramel, hint of rosemary, some custard and toffee Palate: Honey, caramel, bananas foster, plenty of nutmeg, Cuban tobacco earthiness, oak spices, bitter green paprika, strawberry fruit rollups, bittersweet oak, slight salinity, candied orange peel Finish: Sage, thyme, herbal oils with some candied citrus peel, candied red apples, honey, oak tannins, smoked caramel
