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.

As this has been on my wish list for sometime I felt it was time to try, and review. At $70NZD, this 12 year old was everything I expected. Presented in a regal black canister, you immediately get the feeling that this rum is going to be good. The presentation is followed through with the bottle, tidy and distinguished. Only downside is the metal screw top. I'm slowly becoming a fan of corked tops for authenticity. Pouring and coloring is burnt umber on the side of mahogany when held to the light. Swirling and the liquid is syrupy and rich. Legs, fat and clingy. This is a good sign of things to come. The rich aroma carries through and a deep brown sugar and almond captures me first. Upon further sampling I get light citrus.
As I taste for the first time, the flavour is obvious and bold with brown sugar, this is burnt somewhat. The oak is present but it isn't mellow, it's feels hot as I breath out through my nose chewing the liquid as I taste. Is it peppery?
The flavour is lasting and satisfying, the hotness described earlier remains, I decide this is spicy. Each time I bring the glass to my mouth and nose the aroma and taste develop and this makes me appreciate the rum more with every mouthful.
Overall, this is such a remarkable step up from previous Appletons I have tried. It is a rum for the not too serious and appreciative Appletons drinker who will enjoy talking about the profile differences with friends without becoming too "sporting". I like!

My bottle is labeled 12 year rare casks.
Great taste and not too sweet. Bought this to make Mai Tais, but could see myself sipping this regularly.
Full body taste without being too alcolholic from a taste perspective. One of my favourites in the cabine, always good, no surprise. Excellent value for money.
Got to know this one in a bar, and will be an ever present member of my drinks cabinet from now on.
Relatively smooth, rich, a good drink.
I drink the12 yr rum most often but still enjoy the 21 yr for a treat. Still waiting for a 50 yr.
A very well balanced genuine 12 year rum , heaps of flavour and very smooth with a good amount of oommph !! This is very good value for money and is a great rum for mixing as well as straight or on the rocks.I also have a bottle of the master blenders legacy but cant bring myself to open it as now quite rare !!
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.

The rum offers a lot of smoky spiced oak flavour.
"A nice note of cocoa and a little hint of vanilla. The rum is smooth yet spicy offering a nice kick. The finish is long and complex leaving a lot of flavour behind to savour."
