How does this rum taste?
Most enjoy its fruity nose, light funk and great price in cocktails; critics find it thin, soft and sometimes sharp. Consensus: a decent, unsweetened entry-level Jamaican, better mixed than neat.
If you’re curious about Jamaican rum but not ready for full-on funk, this gives you a light, affordable preview that really shines once you start mixing drinks.
Seasoned Jamaican fans seeking high-ester intensity or anyone wanting a bold, complex sipper with long finish and higher ABV.

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
Notes of orange and oak .. This is exceptional value for money in the UK.. A must for a bar at home .. Nosing Apples , oranges , cloves Tasting Apples,cherry's This can be mixed with most things a good entry level Jamaican rum for people exploring the rum category
