6.3/10

Ein recht angenehmer Rum, welcher aber leider nicht völlig an einen Durchschnittsrum ran reicht. Etwas Schokolade, Karamell und Holz in der Nase. Am Gaumen auch eine leichte Süße, wieder Schokolade, Karamell und auch Vanille, außerdem wieder Holz.

Beautiful Jamaican for mixing, which must not hide even pure. For me, one of the best rums for the classic rum cola. More fruity than the classic Havanas or similar, not quite as complex as, for example, a Smith

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.
