Appleton Signature Blend
Most enjoy it as a reliable mixer with honeyed, spicy Jamaican notes and great price. Critics find it thin, weak and not ideal for neat sipping. Consensus: solid, cocktail-focused workhorse.
Cocktail enthusiasts and value seekers wanting an easy Jamaican rum for Mai Tais, Tikis or rum & cola, with gentle funk and honeyed, spicy notes rather than heavy esters.

How does this rum taste?
Solid Jamaican mixer with light funk
If you’re building your palate and mostly mix drinks, this works well: light funk, affordable, and easygoing. If you already love bold Jamaican hogo, you’ll likely find it too tame.
Neat-sipping purists or fans of high-ester Jamaican funk looking for depth, long finish and higher ABV intensity in their glass.

Very honey tasting
Very full-bodied with a very long finish. Smells very different to how it actually tastes. Very interesting, especially on the nose.
Ich stehe total auf diesen süssen Jamaika-Rum Geschmack, wie die kleinen Raumkugeln aus dem Kiosk für damals 10 Pfennige. Auch bei süssen irischen Whiskys kann ich nicht nein sagen. Dieser Rum ist mein Favorit für die Mischung mit Cola. Der Geschmack kommt gut durch und bleibt lang genug im Mund um unbedingt noch mehr trinken zu wollen. Lecker.
Now I have to break a lance here! The rum is of course nothing to drink pure, BUT it is the absolute hammer as a food addition, e.g. - muesli - fruit salad/yoghurt - muffin Add 2cl at a time and that's it. So the points refer to the application :-)
