Review by Johannes
Grenzwertig holzig, tropische Ester, ganz leichte Früchte, dominante Minznoten. Muss ich mal mit den anderen Appleton vergleichen. Aktuell kommt er mir nach einigen eher mittelmäßigen Rums erstaunlich gut vor…
Review by Leo Krüper
Schöner, sehr kräftiger und würziger Appleton. Dunkles Profil mit reichlich Alkohol. Tolle Nase.
Review by Skyfly
Nach langer Atemzeit (die der Rum auf Grund der Alkoholstärke wirklich braucht) offenbart sich ein breites Potpourri an Tropischen Früchten, einer angenehmen Süße, intensivem Holz und diversen Gewürzen - mit jedem Schluck schmeckt man hier etwas neues. Bin gespannt wie die offene Flasche den Rum verändern wirs
Review by Necron
Honestly, this one was a ride. Firstly, this is a sweet and strong rum - do not take it lightly. Onto the review. The smell is outright sweet and alcoholic but has a lot of woody smell. I was impressed as it is the first time I actually smelled the wood. Tasting is another ride. First off the alcohol is very very strong here and then the flavours beneath it are just as dominating. The blend of spiciness and sweet sensations melded well to leave a very long lasting impression. When I say it lasted, it is the first rum ever to leave an actual taste for more than a couple of minutes. I will only recommend this rum to rum lovers. This is after considering the price per bottle and the value it holds. Also please consider using a wine cork dispenser - the bottle is not very well designed for pouring (wasted a shot to pour out 2).
