Appleton Estate Extra 12-Year

On the nose I had given this a 7 -very pleasant but on the mouth got the usual Appleton sweet flavor and burn. For this I had given it a 5. Again with most Appleton's it is best as a mixing rum. Although it deserves a try with water or let it sit for 30 minutes or so to tone down the burn.

Pero es sobre todo el sabor...tiene demasiado regaliz, está bueno sobre todo si bebes y bebés al final ...riquísimo pero para mí es un 6 no se notan esos 12 años, tampoco es caro 17'50€

I was a little disappointed with this one. Not very smooth. Also, not sweet enough for me.

Appleton Estate 12 is good enough to sip, but primarily enjoyable to those who like some harshness in their rums. It's got a bit of complexity, some spice, no sweetness, and a strong alcohol finish.

The flavor is complex and tasty. It might taste richer if the spirits weren't so strong. As a sipper, it's no good. But in mixed drinks, the flavor shine through more.

Not my cup of coffe, but I can drink that ;-)

Rien d'extraordinaire sauf qu'il représente bien son origine ...je le trouve quelque peu agressif.

In my opinion, you don’t really age rum — it gets spoiled.

Whisky needs it, but you can over-age that too, and take out the character. I think people are only aging rum these days to appeal to Scotch drinkers who don’t know better. You end up with a bland, syruppy thing on your hands.

That said, Appleton 12-yo is pretty good, but suffers somewhat from the above defects.

As to why anyone would buy their 30-yo — some people have more money than sense!

Nice smell, with caramel hints. Tasting good. Reccomend

Malgré mes préférences de rum plus rond et sucré, j'ai été surpris par ce rum qui attaque fort mais laisse des notes et arômes complexes. Une bonne découverte des rhums jamaïcains ! Je le conseille vivement aux amateurs de whisky qui veulent se mettre aux Rhums !
