"Forward funk. Smooth finish" is how one member sums it up, but most land on light. Expect caramel and chocolate up front, a bit of tropical fruit, and only a gentle hogo funk for a Jamaican, plus some oak and spice. Several find it rough neat but fine over ice or in cola. The aroma fades fast once poured.

How does Appleton Kingston 62 Gold taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Light, caramel Jamaican, better mixed than neat Light, caramel-forward Appleton Jamaican with only mild funk. Most call it drinkable but unremarkable — a decent mixer more than a sipper, and a touch harsh neat.

Review by Timo Groeger
Vacation Canada & Jamaica September 2025. This Kingston 62 from the hotel was still missing :) I find it a bit better than the community, maybe because of the awesome view here :) Light but pleasant sweetness consisting of caramel and chocolate, but also some wood and spices are here.
Review by Schnubbii
Drinkable but whatever. Even as a mixer, there are more exciting options.
Review by Lutz Lungershausen
Retasting on 31.01.2026, Jamaica First impression: funky, fruity, aromatic Nose: funk, fruits, light caramel and wood notes Palate: alcoholic sharpness, then fruits, wood and caramel Finish: short, fruity, sharp Overall impression: quite nice, especially if you bought it at the kiosk next door in Jamaica and enjoy the sunset on the veranda. Aroma fades quickly.

Alcohol integration not very good. Toastiness.

Well, it's ok, but nothing much more than that 🤷♂️

A good mixer. A bit too rough neat for my taste.

Very good with cola

Forward funk. Smooth finish
Review by Solidfunk
Mostly just caramel and a little funk. Very light hogo funk for a Jamaican, though it sits there a bit in the aftertaste. Light golden pour. Had a glass at this at a supposed tiki bar with very few rums in St. Croix.
