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.

Definitively Jamaican- the funk

I'm surprised that the dominant flavor of this rum reminds me of El Dorado 8 year rum but with a lighter body less sweet finish. I've never been a big fan of Jamaican rums or Appleton in particular but I decided to give this less common 12 year rare blend a try. It's smooth and doesn't have much burn to it at all, however it's just doesn't really fit in my highly prefered category (I'm more of a Cuban, Bajan, or Venezualen style guy I guess). Good to mix just not my favorite flavors in here to sip. I will update this rating as I try more of it bc i often find that I have to transition into liking other rums after each bottle I try. Update: it had grown on me and wen I smell t I say "mmmm". Good stuff for having no added sugar at all. It's definitely a funky fruity whiskey tasting English style rum that has bold flavor.
