I think we are in 100% agreement on Appleton VX. I've never reviewed it but it is my standard mixer when I have a larger crowd to please. I rarely encounter anyone who dislikes the it. In fact when I did my interview for Rum Connection and was asked what my favourite non premium gold rum was, I first rum I mentioned was Appleton VX.
The Angostura Royal Oak surprised me when I tried it. I had remembered how much I liked it in Tobago, but that was 20 years ago. It was nice to find it again, and discover that even though it is inexpensive ($20 CAN), it still tasted so nice.
