Appleton Kingston 62 White
Reach for this if you want an easy Jamaican white to build cola and cocktails around, not a funk bomb to sip. The nose leans light and sweetish — vanilla, caramel, a little coconut — and the palate follows with vanilla, some coffee and cocoa over an oily body. At 40% it's soft and unmistakably a mixer. Just don't expect the classic Jamaican ester punch; several members note it barely shows.
The community says- Easy in cola
- But: No Jamaican funk
- But: Light at 40%

How does Appleton Kingston 62 White taste?
Aggregated from 12 community reviews.
Light, vanilla-led Jamaican white for mixing Handy in a cola and pleasant enough, but most drinkers agree it reads light for a Jamaican and misses the funk — a mixer, not a sipper.

Review by Timo Groeger
Urlaub Kanada & Jamaika September 2025. Überraschend gut dieser weiße Kingston 62, gleich den braunen mal antesten. In der Nase gibt es Vanille und Karamell. Am Gaumen dann auch etwas Vanille, aber auch Kaffee und Kakao.
Review by wrighty03
Similar to Pampero, vanilla smell, quite nice
Review by TheJackDrop
Passing through Italy, I order a pizza and see this behind the bar, offered by the boss, I can't say no. Well, it's obviously too light at 40 degrees. Well, it's obviously too light at 40 degrees, no markers of Jamaica, just caramel, vanilla and maybe a little coconut... RIP
