Light amber color. Honeydew, toffee, and roasted nuts come out of medium strength aromas. Light on the palate, then floral, with some herbal and lemon notes. This leads to some slightly bitter heat. The heat fades into some acidity and spice. A light, lean style best used as a mixer. Tasted 12/16/2007.

Notes

Appleton Special Jamaica Rum is estate-distilled at Appleton Estate. It is a blend of full-flavored traditional pot still rums and lighter character modern column still rums. These rums are aged separately in oak barrels and afterwards hand-blended to produce a fine, medium-bodied golden rum. This rum has a fuller nose and taste than Puerto Rican gold rum which is made only from column stills, however Appleton Special Jamaica Rum is mild and smooth; it won't overpower cola or your favorite mixer and it is incomparable in coladas.
