    "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"

    "Gives you an idea of what Javanese rum can be. But it's too sour and too fizzy for me, despite the low ABV. It is certainly designed exclusively for drinks."

    "The nose has some crisp apple and foam banana notes. Sweet vanilla and oak in the background. Quite subtle. The palate has a sweet honey note that is most present but then some toasted marshmallows and ripe apricots. The finish is short but sweet, full of tannins and ends with earthy licorice. It's not bad. It's not going to blow your socks off. But can be sipped neat if required."
