Notes of maple and orange are leading, complemented by mentions of ginger and grapefruit. One reason for the high price is the tremendously limited supply: only 744 bottles made it to the U.S. The Appleton Estate Reserve, made of rums that are at least eight years old, is one-fourteenth of its big brother’s price, but still good enough to sip.
