Appleton Estate Extra 12-Year rum

Appleton Estate Extra 12-Year

Jamaica | Aged | 43% ABV

Appleton Estate 12-Year Rum is a blend of several rums aged between 12 and 18 years in American oak barrels after being distilled using small-batch copper pot stills.

The rum is produced on the Appleton Estate, which sits in the Nassau Valley in Jamaica. The estate’s origins date back as far as 1655 when the English overthrew the Spanish to rule the island and Frances Dickinson, grandfather of the distillery’s founders, received the land as a reward for his role in the overthrow.

I like Appleton 12 year old. Have not tried any if their older rum. But this rum is nice, smooth. Compares with other good rum I have tried

I try to keep this on my shelf at all times. It is less smooth than other 12 yrs but is so deeply flavoured, I'll take the trade off. I sip this, sometimes with a splash of coconut water. Only thing I don't like about it is its price. Wouldn't pay the $35 and up they charge in the US, but in the Caribbean it is a bargain, particularly at duty free where it can be as low as $19.

Chose to try the 12yrs old before the 18yrs and the 21yrs. The ratings are spot on.
It looks great in the bottle, nice aroma and oak taste. Not too sweet, very easy on the palate. Very good after taste.
Very GOOD for the PRICE.....Strongly recommend.

Quite a strong banana/chocolate taste but a quite stingy alcohol finish, which i quite like but might not appeal to everyone. The fact that no sugars are added helps the pure "feeling" of the rum.

Edit: couple of months later and i have to give this rum a point higher. It is much more powerful and funky that i remember. A very typical navy rum . Maybe my palette was eased by lesser rums in the meantime :)

It is a strong and rugged rum. On the rocks is perfect!

Tento rum jsem ochutnal poté, co jsem ochutnal jeho mladší brášky. Stejně jako u nich cítím ve vůni tlející trávu, což mi malinko na jamajských rumech vadí. V chuti je daleko komplexnější a přitom uhlazenější jemnější a sladší jako mladší bráškové.

Très bon, un peu plus robuste que les autres 12 ans que j'ai goûté.
Very good, a bit more robust that the other 12yo I've tasted.

Nice every day sipper, not too offending and not too much funk/esters.
Still obviously a Jamaican with some ripe banana flavour!

So Appleton 12 is what a rum should be at this age. It tastes almost corporate. There is no surprise but also no let down. It's not impressive but it's not average. It's exactly what you think it should be and not a drop more. Perfect 12 year notes of all your common rum flavors, oak, vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon, floral, smoke, cherry, orange, burnt sugar etc. It seems like the flavors are all equal which is both impressive and unimpressive in the same moment.
