Appleton Estate Signature Blend Rum

Body is a light gold color with medium to high viscosity. Nose has a slight ethanol ting to it. Notes of shortbread cookies, overripe fruit, and a touch of oak. There’s also something else in there, a funk if you will, that I can’t quite put my finger on. Light mouth feel. Initial burn punch up front that smooths out to ripe bananas, cinnamon, clove. Finishes light with a hint of cherry and oak.

Pretty good all around rum. Not amazingly smooth or anything, but a notch up from Cruzan perhaps.

Basically garbage. Smells like rubbing alcohol, burns as bad as it too. Tastes like acid. This was recommended to me by liquor store Clerk and I regretted the purchase at the first taste. I'm not an alcohol snob. When someone asks me what I drink, I answer "what don't I drink?". This garbage is what I don't drink. I will never buy this again as long as I have brain cells to remember it. I highly recommend "bumbu xo". I'm not a paid promotional shill; I just like to help people.

Easy drinking, a bit sharp.
