The Everyday Appleton
When Appleton Estate relaunched its core range, the beloved V/X became Signature Blend — same Jamaican soul, modern bottle. It carries the estate's signature orange-peel note in an easygoing, mixable package: harvest-gold, balanced and complex, with citrus, dried apricot, fresh peach, a hint of molasses and gentle wood. It is the bottle to reach for when the recipe just says "rum". Shop the rum collection at Del Mesa Liquor, browse more Jamaican rum, or see everything from Appleton Estate.
Tasting Notes
Harvest gold with amber depth and brilliant clarity. The nose is balanced and complex — citrus and subtle orange peel over dried apricot and fresh peach, with hints of molasses and woody notes. The palate is smooth and creamy-mellow; the finish is serene, with lingering citrus, sweet fruit and gentle oak.
How to Enjoy
This is the ultimate cocktail rum: perfect in daiquiris, mai tais and rum punch, equally at home over ice. Keep one bottle for mixing and discover why Jamaica's most famous estate made it its bestseller.
