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.

Interesting nose with just a bit of a bite at the back end. Not a sipper for me, a bit dry with that bite coming through. Mixed with cola it was very good, full body with a lot of different flavors coming through. Not quite as good with citrus but still
Solid.

This is not a favorite but will keep it around for a change of pace...

Nose of ripe (or even overripe) banana with solvent-like notes, also reminding me of apples and calvados. Strong, dry taste with vanilla and spices, but no caramel no creamy mouthfeel. It's a particular taste and I can see why it's a classic, but I didn't like it that much.

Decent rum, not as sweet as some others, which is a nice change.

The rum has a slight orange or woody taste and is somewhat rough, it doesn't go down smoothly. It is nice to mix with ginger beer but the taste on its own is not very pleasant. For the price that it retails at, I would rather buy another rum for the same price but that has a more pleasant taste.

I do like this in a MaiTai - it’s a good all around Jamaican

a wonderful step up from the Signature. Baking spices, a lil Jamaican funk character. So good.

Smooth, great sipping rum. Great nose, vanilla, honey and slight cinnamon notes.

On the palate, delicious. Strong flavors, smooth burn and excellent finish.

Lighter than their 21 year, but just as good in my opinion, if slightly different.

A must have for a unadulterated rum drinker.

I’m much more of a spiced rum guy but can see the reasons this is a popular one

Bold and warm in the mouth, but lacks a smoothness you might expect at the price point. Hints of cocoa, vanilla and even oak, but the warmth never really transitions to smooth.
