FOUR STARS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED [ Spirit Journal ]. Sugar cane juice based. The straw lemon juice tint is very pale; good to very good purity. The palate entry screams sugar cane!

Deep copper in color. Aromas of roasted banana, coconut husk, blossoms and clay with a dry medium-to-full body and a generous warming spice and salted caramel finish.
-
Copper in color. Very woody and intense aromas of caramelized nuts and earth with a dry medium-full body and a long, tobacco, pepper, banana creme brulée, and dried fruit finish. A very nice, well aged cigar rum.

The nose is very subtle, slowly releasing hints of baked pears, ginger. After a few swirls the bouquet opens up and releases aromas of orange peel, and cinnamon. The palate is restrained and elegant, very much like a fine cognac, the alcohol is beautifully integrated and is balanced by flavours of toffee, oak, and vanilla. The silky finish is long and as it eventually fades leaves you with chocolatey notes.
-
Amber in color. Aromas of clay, rubber sole, and roasted coconut with a dry light-to-medium body and a roasted nut, mineral, cream, and pepper accented finish. A very nice, characterful, dry dark rum for sipping or mixing.
-
The Estate Reserve Blend offers a sherried note up front, full of citrus and cloves, that winds its way slowly into bold vanilla and Christmas spice character. Deftly balanced between the sharp attack and the festive finish, it manages to keep a foot in both the rustic and refined worlds.

No age statement. The entry level Appleton is a bit rustic and punchy, with some sharp medicinal character to it. Clearly designed as a mixer, this nicely golden rum offers big molasses backed by barrel char notes and some burnt marshmallow. A touch of banana on the back end, but it does give this rum some funky character.
