Oh, my beloved Appleton Estate 12 Year Old Rare Casks Jamaica rum.
You’ve been the star in so many Mai Tais and an integral part of so many custom rum blends at commercial and home bars around the world.
You pair well with Smith & Cross from Jamaica and with Clement from Martinique.
And you’re fabulous on your own, even being named favorite Appleton rum in a Mai Tai this week by The Rum Revival YouTube channel.
Even Derek from Make & Drink sings your praises.
When I go into a bar and think about a top shelf rum for a Mai Tai you’re the first rum I look for. And you’re usually there, waiting for me.
You’ve never let me down. Never ever ever. My favorite forever.
