    "Very nice rusty, dark chocolate note! Really great nose. On the palate but a little too dry for my taste."

    "I have finally found the perfect chocolate to reset and enhance my palate when tasting. I can recommend the 70% chocolate from Peru made from the Chuncho Bean (Trinidad). This bottle is also a really nice one and there is no doubt that it's an Appleton Estate in the nose nor the palate. A great rum probably already sold out. It was gone here in Denmark the day it was released and the bottle prices have already skyrocketed."

    "Very dark notes with endless roasted aromas. Extreme chocolate note, which I like. For a better rating, however, I miss the fruit. Even blind a clear assignment of the Appleton Distillery"

    "Gefällt mir sehr gut. Besonders die leicht dreckige Note hinter dem angenehmen Menthol, Zedernholz und Tabak Mix sagt mir zu. Dazu getrocknete Aprikose und ein paar gelbe und grüne Früchte."
