Needs to breathe a bit before sipping. Haven't tried it with a mixer but when neat it's quite strong yet complex. Plenty of aroma and flavour, although there's a hint of nail varnish. Bit of alcohol burn, subdued with a cube of ice. Appleton rums make great mojitos so I might go nuts and grab some mint from the garden.

As part of a rum board, this was my favourite of 4. Nothing truly phenomenal though.
Det här är mer som jag förväntade mig rom som rookie, men fick då en söt rom. Nu förälskade jag mig lite i den söta romen och då blev denna nästan en besvikelse. Men den är god. Ekfatig, med svag fruktighet i bakgrunden. Smaken påminner en del om highlandwhiskey och cognac. Efter 15_20 minuter i glaset hände verkligen något! En sötma framträdde och många nya smaker, ekfatigheten försvann. Vilken förvandling!

I wouldn’t call this a sipper rum but it shines in a Pinã Colada. Adds a deep molasses tone and fills in the warmth. Takes you to the beachs of Jamaica. If you are looking for a 12 year sipper the Eldorado will fill that spot but when you want a tropical rum fantasy drink this is your Rum.

The rare 12 year old Appletons is smooth enough to enjoy it's fruit, wood & molasses depth straight, or mix with lime & ginger to get through the bottle in double quick time.

Ca sent le poivre, le piment d’Espelette et la peinture blanche satinée Luxens. Dommage, je comprends qu'on aime mais je n'arrive pas à enlever l'association d'un rayon Bricorama ou d'un banc marqué "peinture fraiche". Un rhum fort qui plaira à ceux qui n'ont pas le palais sensible. Sauf si vous venez de faire des travaux dans votre nouvelle maison.

Nice smooth smoky flavor. Nice dark rum that pairs nicely with almost anything. I am not even a rum drinker, I do not care for it much. This is rum is truly worth its cost.

...I read that this one is for bourbon lovers...so I got nosy and wanted it...little spoiler it is and for a lot more people :)
The smell is smoky as well as fruity...in my opinion kinda apple-ish...couldn't stop sniffing the glass.
The taste kicks you with sweetness and tasting smoothness with a delightful afterburn...the residue stays on your tongue and throat for a pleasant while...
I will keep this on my bar shelf from now on...good buy for under 35 Euro!
A tasty and delightful 7.0 in my opinion...even when not too complex...

The taste is right I think.. but it is to much strong.. 43% is to much..
Très beau colori caramel. Rhum assez puissant. Prédominance d'arôme de chocolat noir. Bonne longueur en bouche.

Appleton Estate Rare Blend 12 - I love this stuff.

OK, to be clear, I mix my rums with Diet Dr. Pepper. It is how I like my rums. This rum is affordable, yet offers a great complexity of fruits (like bananas), molasses, slight vanilla, and changes its flavors one to two times as you finish your drink. I put one shot glass per 12-oz can for this blend. Now, if you have ever got stuck with another rum that is just OK, or not that good, like Kraken rum, then I call this Appleton a perfect disguise cover up rum. Just add 1/2 a shot glass per 1 shot glass of Kraken, and you suddenly have a complex flavor that is very good. This custom blend between Appleton and Kraken almost resembles a Zacapa. Anyway, I have 8 bottles of this in my cabinet because the store where I live runs out. I like the price and I like the flavor. It is a must have.
