Amateur review: Appleton V/X rum
My impressions:
I don't know if additional aging will improve the taste. It has some strong points, but it starts harshly with a spoiled banana and overtones of burnt rubber. It calms down a bit to a toasty ginger flavor, slight taste of straw. It eventually reveals a layer of exceptionally strong sugarcane juice fragrance, which is actually quite enjoyable. Probably will taste better mixed with lime juice or pina colada mix, but there are better choices for $18 -- luckily I only paid $10 in Jamaica.
