Review by Mark Leggett
Smells of fruit like guava and banana, slight woody hint and floral. Flavor is similar with spices hitting after a fruity start. Ends with ripe banana.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
I like this particular rum in a Daiquiri with a dash of demerara.
Review by Rumantisch
Perfekt uum pur oder zum mixen mit cola oder in Cocktails Absolut zu empfehlen wenn jemand in das thema jamaika rum einsteigen möchte
Review by Tim
Im Segment 20€ ist dieser Rum ein wahnsinnig guter Schnappschuss. Kann definitiv pur getrunken werden, macht aber bestimmt in Mixgetränken eine sehr gute Figur. Sehr fruchtig, Karamellsüße, etwas Holz und Gewürze und dezent Röstaromen. Seife an der Nase!Natürlich etwas dünn und unausgewogen, aber wirklich beeindruckend in Anbetracht des Preises.
Review by Goodoboy30
Really good. This was my first Jamaican rum. I really enjoyed this both neat and in coke. I think I prefer this neat though.
Review by Gregor
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
Review by Kieron Wood
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
Review by Oli Dekrell
Fruchtig-besonders. Jamaika halt
Review by Decky Hicks Doughty
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.
Review by kudzey
Young and one-dimensional but makes a decent sipper
Review by HenryL
Not super complex on the nose and surprisingly vanilla-dominated. Some weird candied sweetness. Very thin and flat in the mouth, but what there is to find is delicious. The finish is a little spicier but otherwise similar. It's nothing for me neat, but it's great for mixing.
Review by Schnapsschuesse
Mainly fruity, but no real Jamaicafeeling here yet. Minimally soapy/clinical, but after a little air spreads mainly dried flavors, especially apricot.Refreshingly unsweet on the palate with some barrel and toast in the middle part, while it tends towards the end very apricot and minimal mango.Solid mixer for the lighter variants, but probably sinks in 'nem Mai Tai with decent ingredients.
Review by Martin Ekrt
Aroma mild, mainly vanilla with molasses, a little coconut and something baked. Flavour mainly a mix of caramel and molasses, vanilla, some banana. Short finish more caramel with baking spices, light citrus and tropical fruit. A simple but fine rum.
Review by Haddox Hebert
If I could imagine myself as a brachiosaurus back in the jurassic period chewing on leaves and shit, my herbivore tendencies would graviate toward this rum. It's not neccesarily terrible, but neither is a dressingless garden salad. Appleton Signature was very herbal and grassy for me with a pungent mouthfeel. I wouldn't turn her down if offered, but I feel I'd personally reach for something else on the shopping shelf instead

"Lovely for the pricepoint. A little okay with a distinct but subtle funkiness. Great for mixing."Read full review →
Expert review by Zucker und Zeste
"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."
