How does Rum Shark Appleton Jamaica Single Cask Selection 2008 taste?

Aggregated from 43 community reviews.

Dry, fruity, powerful Appleton single cask For curious explorers ready for stronger Jamaican pot still: a 14-year Appleton single cask at 59.3%. Expect tropical fruit, light esters, chocolate, wood spice and a long, warming, dry finish. Highly praised by 43 RumX members.

Perfect for

I have to be honest. With this rum, I only decided whether I liked it or not. And this rum is great (I'm happy for the whole bottle). Love the combination of technical and chocolate flavors. If you have chance to try it... just do so.

Ve vůni se dá tušit, že nás čeká příjemná technicko-ovocná jamajka. Toto se na plno projevuje v chuti, kdy ovocné janlečné tóny střídají ty technicky lepidlové. Závěr je dlouhý, hřejivý, a možná až moc alkoholový.

Beautiful aroma. Taste is fine, the rum is easily drinkable with fruit aroma and dry long aftertaste.
