    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.

     I'd say this one is definitely a mixer and goes well with a Coca cola.

     Lovely rum. Round flavors with caramel/butter on the front, with banana, coconut, and roasted nuts on the back. Spicy finish with woodyness and tannins.

     HG finds this well-rounded rum mark to calm to boys down just before diving into more rum.

     My first Jamaican rum. Not sure how funky it is with nothing to compare to, but the lingering taste of alcohol wasn't super pleasant. The initial woodiness is nice, but I think this will probably be a mixer from me.
