Appleton Reserve 8 Years 43%

RX4461 Good <100€
“Warm, woody, and mildly complex Jamaican rum.”

Appleton Estate's Reserve 8 Years is a Jamaican rum distilled from molasses and has a 43% ABV. Users describe it as possessing a woody nose complemented by notes of caramel, brown sugar, and vanilla. On the palate, it delivers woody and ester-forward flavors, often regarded as hot and toasted, with hints of candied sweetness. It's well-suited for mixing, particularly in cocktails like rum and sour or piña colada, bringing warmth with its fruity undertone. The rum has polarized opinions on complexity, with some finding it lacking, while others appreciate its balanced yet evolving profile. This rum offers a versatile experience, suitable for both mixing and more contemplative enjoyment.
