Seasonal

The release of Appleton 17 isn’t without controversy. But it’s said that it replicates the flavor of the original 17 year old Wray & Nephew, so I had to try it. Thanks to my old teammates at Wusong Road I was able to get my hands on some, so of course I had to make a mai tai with it.

Editor's Note

Appleton 17 provides the legendary funk of the original 1944 Mai Tai. This build respects the classic template while highlighting the depth of a rare, high-end rum.
