On March 6, 2010 I posted my original review for Appleton 151 Dark Jamaican Rum which I was told at the time was one of the more favoured rums on the Isle of Jamaica. A lot of time has passed, and now 13 years later I have reached the bottom of that bottle which was originally opened 13 years ago.

The Dark Rum that originated on the Cayman Islands of course.
