Picked up a bottle on a cruise for 15$. Anyone try, should I mix or drink straight. Any ideas

Appleton rum, coke and a squeeze of a lime slice is pretty tasty

Just mix with a splash of coke.

A good 12 year old rum should be smooth with only a cube of ice.

I did a tour of their distillery in Jamaica. Good times. The 12 year is good chilled on its own.

Orange slice, squeeze then muddle in bottom of glass, add a couple of ice cubes, 2-1 or 3-1 (depending on your taste) ginger ale to rum, few drops of bitters, stir, and enjoy.

If you enjoy this try Ron Zaccapa or Zaya just on a rock.
I personally think Zaccapa is the best rum regardless of price. This event includes the blue label Appleton I have that I never drink.

I usually drink Zaya but recently picked up a bottle of Appleton and came away unimpressed

This is a sipper, although not the most highly rated. Ignore the mixing comments (coke
).

It will make an excellent rum cake. Yellow cake, crusted with chopped pecans mixed with a touch of brown sugar, liberal application of buttered rum glaze, allow to settle an hour or two.
This recipe looks acceptable

I went to Jamaica for my honeymoon early this year and drank a shite ton of Appleton 12 on the rocks. It's delicious. Brought a bottle home.

But it's Appleton.
Not Ron Zacapa. Not Diplomatico. Not Plantation. Not even Zaya, IMO.
It's a very average 12 year, with a sweeter TN whiskey flavor (think Bayou Rum) than a sipping rum flavor. JMO.

Since ya asked the question ya dont know so do like ya do with anything ya not sure about. pour ya self a shot and taste it roll it across ya tongue and wait for the flavor. Then decide there is no wrong answer only different and ya decide what ya like. Some rum is fortified with grain and the wife is gluten intolerant, so we go with Bacardi gold guaranteed to be gluten free for our house rum. I like all rums and bourbons cold but not over ice. Course das just me.

It would have been better if he had used a pirate persona.

Specs had Diplimatico for under $20 two weeks ago in the Dallas area. I brought home 4 bottles.

The Zappa wasn't on special but I agree it's one of the best too.
