Appleton Estate Reserve 8-Year

Great Jamaican quality. Not so good as 12 years old, but still good.

If you are looking for a strong rum, this it a good option. It is dry and it makes you feel the alcohol which is made of. You can use as a sipping rum if you are looking for harsh sensation. Worth to try!

For reasons I don't know they sell this often for (almost) the same price like the 12yo in Germany and sometimes even for a higher price, what is really odd. Since I wasn't very impressed by the 12yo I guess the 8yo won't be better...

I guess I'm just not a fan of the Jamaican style of rums. I will never stop trying something new if they get reasonable reviews and ratings, but I have had many better.

a prefect mixing rum one of the best ive yet to try

I usually prefer neat spirits but this good with mixer .I would definitely for 12-year

For quite a big price difference, I found it at most only slightly better than the V/X. It is sippable, but better mixed. I didn't try it on ice. One thing I don't understand is how Flor de Cana 7 can be rated the same; I found it pretty much undrinkable, even mixed.

I found it to be a little harsh on its own, as others have said it is fine with a little mix.

Appleton Estate 8 year is ok for sipping if you've no other options, but it's really just a rum for mixing good drinks.

using it for "good" friends instead of the VX in mixes
