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.

Dont like the taste profile... not bad objectively but very different taste than most popular rums. 0 sweetnes, some whisky character, little burn & thats all.

Had the chance to visit the Appleton’s distillery and sample several of their offerings. I enjoyed the 12, very smooth, and yet the flavor profile is closer to your typical mixer. I enjoyed it, but wouldn’t wait in line for seconds.

Too much alcohol on the nose, it's overwhelming and makes it hard to find other aromas. It's somewhere between whiskey and rum actually. Starts fruity and sweet with some oak and ends with hints of smoke and alcohol. Tried it with some stevia coke, not the best rum to mix with coke.
Jamaican rum isn't my favorite kind of rum but I did enjoy it.

The Appleton 12-year is a good sipping rum, but could use some more filtering. It has very alcoholic aromas, and while there is some good oakeyness in the flavour it is also very sharp and raw, which is accentuated by the almost complete lack of sweetness. A bit more sugar would actually make this a much better rum!

Have tasted this rum many times as it seems to be readily available. I'm not much for adding mixers, but sometimes I feel you must

The colour is a beautiful dark red-amber, with a scent that is quite strong with spice, oak and hints of banana . Far less sweet than many rums with an overbearing of oak and spice on the palate.

I would recommend to hose who enjoy real dry, spiced rums. It's intensity lingers for some time after each sip. Wouldn't recommend for novices as I've found the flavour can be a bit much for some ( no added sugar/sweetener).

Worth a tryas it is quite good value for the price in my opinion.

This is a decent, but not exceptional sipping rum. My main issue with it is that it's a bit harsh. It improves with a few drops of water. Gets extra points for having no added sugar, but in this "category" (and price) loses to the Mount Gay XO which I find to be much smoother and more enjoyable.

It's quite good, not too sweet, a bit woody, spicy but not too much. It's quite a good allrounder, but lacks personality in my opinion.
