Check out today’s episode of Make and Drink where I visited the Make and Drink bar to try all of the mainstream Appleton Estate Rum releases in a Mai Tai and via a blind taste test to declare a winner.
This was similar to the Single Bottle Mai Tai Rum challenge I did with Derek last year, though this time the results didn’t quite go as expected at least for this writer. In any case, this was a lot of fun and hopefully informative. Appleton makes great rums and any great rum will do well in the Mai Tai cocktail format.
The Appleton Estate rums we tested were:
- Appleton Signature
- Appleton 8 yr Reserve
- Appleton 12 yr Rare Casks
- Appleton 15 yr Black River Casks
- Appleton 21 yr Nassau Valley Casks
Be sure to stick to the end to see the results that might shock you.
