A few months ago i mentioned that Appleton were releasing a new 8 year old reserve. I finally got a bottle ( same shape as the VX, Extra and 21yr old ) All I can say is Hmmmmm! Very delicate on the palate with a fruity nose. A work of art. Not as woody as the Extra (12yr old) and not as bitting as the VX (5-10yr old). But definately one for the pot-stilled, aged rums, connoisseurs. The only problem is that it goes down too well. I've finished half my sample bottle already !!! Has anyone else tried the Appleton 8 year old yet? :biggrin:

When I read about the evils of drinking rum...I stopped reading...because life is too short, so smile and enjoy yourself...

Apparently they have re blended it. You're right the previous 8 year old had quite a few problems. Especially in the taste department. (sorry Appleton )
