Appleton Signature Single Estate Jamaica Rum
Solid, easy-drinking Jamaican entry with gentle funk, honeyed fruit and vanilla. Widely praised as great value and a reliable mixer, though many find it thin and lacking intensity for serious sipping.
Newcomers to Jamaican rum wanting a budget-friendly bottle that works in rum & coke, daiquiris and easy tiki cocktails with a touch of banana/tropical funk.

I like this particular rum in a Daiquiri with a dash of demerara.
Really good. This was my first Jamaican rum. I really enjoyed this both neat and in coke. I think I prefer this neat though.
At the end. Quite sweet. Very unusual for Appleton. Otherwise there are nice fruity notes paired with light spice. A good price-performance ratio. However, too weak
