Appleton Signature Blend

 Bought me a bottle of this rum in Nerja, Spain. It’s a blend, as the name says, of rum aged at least for four years. Overall a much to thin/weak rum in my opinion. The nose is mostly fruity with scents of citrus. At the palate it’s balanced, sweet, fruity, spicy and a little woody with flavors of honey, citrus, orange , apricot, peach, vanilla and cinnamon. The finish is rather short and a little smoky.

 Bar Nationale in Thessaloniki. Dieser Appleton Estate ist quasi derselbe Rum wie der Angostura. Auch hier haben wir vor allem Vanille und Karamell in der Nase und am Gaumen. Am Gaumen ist er zusätzlich dann noch sehr würzig.

 Good entry level Jamaican with an outstanding price. With this rum my love for Mai Tai has started back then seven years ago.

 This is a great rum for a Mai Tai and here's my recipe. Appleton Estate Signature Curacao Orange Liquer Fresh lime juice Maple syrup Almond syrup To spice it up a bit you can add some Rhum Agricole.

 Beautiful intense nose. But unfortunately the taste is very watered down and too weak.

 Disappointingly subtle Jamaican hogo, but very smooth and buttery for its price point. Fairly light/easy drinking. Very little alcoholic harshness. An excellent rum overall, especially at the price.

 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 :-)

 Very full-bodied with a very long finish. Smells very different to how it actually tastes. Very interesting, especially on the nose.

 Orange peel with slight hint of molasses

 Very honey tasting

 They call it spicy but to me this spice taste is what I don't like. It's that bourbon flavor I hate.

 Ideal für Tikis wie Mai Tai

 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.

 Tasted 30-09-2016 This original blend was a solid mixer rum and balanced on flavours . A bit like ronseal does exactly what it says on the tin , personally prefer the new blend but prefer the presentation of this bottle.
