Veeery technical. Little hints of fruit
Where is that Jamaican funk? Aroma is technical. I noticed combination of wood, lot of spices, smoke, some sweet scents (dark chocolate?) and almost none fruit scents, what is truly shame. In taste I noticed lot of spices with sweet flavor but also there is a lot of wood and smoke, which makes flavor itself very heavy (not in the good way). There are some technical flavors (rubber and nail polish). Finish, in my opinion, had average duration. I noticed spice, rubber and smoke. I tried and gave this rum second chance, but no. This is not good sample of Appleton rum not to mention, sample of rum that has higher price range. I think this is very average rum (in a bad way) that I can not recomended at all (not for that price).
This is a blast! Mahogany colour and smell like a hospital, brutally technical and petrol in the background, slightly strong in the vein. The taste is slightly minty with a long finish and combined with a technical glue. Very interesting!
Auto-translatedEin ziemlich extremer Rum! Volle Granate Möbelpolitur, Lack, Benzin, Holz, Menthol. Zu dem Appleton-Profil passt das Ganze gar nicht! Ich würde eher auf einen extremen Clarendon tippen. Ich finde ihn nicht gerade gut, aber wenigstens ist er extrem intensiv und der Alkohol ist erstaunlich gut eingebunden.
