14.02.1992 Café Baxx in Kolding a bygone place now. Went out with friends and they had just gotten this in the bar. Neat it was pretty OK bur in mixers it was really good. My favourite was in a Rum'n'Coke. Gave it 3.5 stars out of 5.0 which should amount to 7.0 today.

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.
