#6399 25.02.2026 Running a few more of the stack of samples I got from my friend. Listening to some new Psy Trance at the same time. This one was pretty disappointing, but it is after all a mixer. Fruity with a sweet lightly spicy palate but out of balance in my mind.

Reviewing this purely as a cocktail rum which is what it’s meant to be. Not a huge fan of this for the same reason I’m not a fan of Bacardi carta blanca. It has been so stripped of any flavor to make it a “vodka rum” that it actually becomes less useful in mixology. Good drinks work with flavors and need flavors from all ingredients. This attempt at annihilating flavor actually makes mixwork with it less interesting and makes it join an already very crowded and boring field of filtered-to-death rums. A pointless rum.

Avg Rating 8.0/10 91 Rums

Appleton Estate is the face of Jamaican rum to the world. Distilling in the St. Elizabeth hills since at least 1749, it makes close to a third of all the island's rum and is the only brand in the global top ten with serious pot-still character. Its master blender, Joy Spence, was the first woman to hold that title anywhere in spirits.
