Appleton Estate 15 Black River Casks Review
Jamaica's Appleton Estate recently introduced this 15-year-old blend of column and pot-still rums. Nuanced, flavorful, and intensely aromatic, this expression easily stands up to similarly aged bourbons, Scotches, and Cognacs, and stands alone when you also consider their price points. With a stunning range of fruity, woody, and spiced notes, this is a special sipper.
