I like this one straight and in my favorite tiki’s drinks.

I should seek out more rums rated above 6 instead of thinking 7.5+ ratings are required for an enjoyable pour, this rum has taught me. The Appleton 8 year is good and for me quite enjoyable neat, though (without having currently tried side-by-side, will update if I do) I believe I enjoy the (rare casks) 12 year more.
There's a distinct metallic scent on the nose for me, as well as notes of fruit and maybe brown sugar. The metal thankfully doesn't carry over to the palate and there is a nice sweetness along with the fruitiness and some light vegetal notes typical of an Appleton Jamaican rum from my understanding - not too intense like other Jamaicans, but noticeable. Short-medium finish without any burn really.
I will have to try this in a painkiller or some other cocktail, but I'm very glad I've tried this neat and would buy again at $37 CAD for sure.
Good for the price, would make good cocktails, not that good for sipping (in my opinion). Disclaimer: i am not a fan of the humidity/"hogo" flavor of certain jamaican rums, and it is very present here. A bit harsh.
For many years this was my go to rum. I have starting to explore many others these days
Un rhum qui témoigne bien du savoir faire jamaïcain en la matière. Il ne vous laissera pas indifférent. En bouche, vous constaterez un équilibre parfait ! Un rhum affirmé, légèrement doux, avec des flaveurs bien tropicales ! La finale est assez persistante, pour le plus grand bonheur de l’amateur !
Cheers !
This is one of the best 8-year aged rums I've tried so far and is definitely worth the price. If you can, it's still worth spending the few extra bucks for the 12-year Appleton.
This is a great bottle to try if you've never had a Jamaican style rum. Rich and smokey, followed by a nice spicy funk. It has a stellar mouth feel and finish at this price point. I'll always have one on my shelf. Smooth, flavorful, and better than many bottles at this price!
This is easily accessible and affordable, not too funky but adds what it needs to drinks.
Surprisingly spicy on the tongue. Strong notes of black pepper and oaked heat.
"Has a lovely smooth entry which quickly heats up. The initial notes of pineapple and dark almost to ripe banana give way to spicy heat. The flavours linger and coat the taste buds with hot spice."

To the nose I was getting molasses which I was happy with, but the finish was weird. Maybe it would be better mixed.
