I’ve been a fan of the rums from Appleton Estate ever since I started my rum journey.

This write-up was something I wanted to do for a while now, … More Review: Appleton Estate Rum Range

Lately they have decided to be a bit more “mainstream” and created two constant and continuous releases in… are you ready… … More Review: That Boutique-y Rum Company Signature Blend #1
