Appleton Estate Rare Casks 12-Year

taste - 8/10
smell - 8.5/10
sweetness - 7/10
price/value rating - 9.5/10

Lovely nose and flavour not quite as bold as the rare blend previous model which I would prefer.

Quality rum, with some well balanced "hogo" flavours associated with some jamaican rums, and some orange peels and tobacco leafs notes. I personnally prefer the 12 years El Dorado but still good !

A truly wholesome rum experience. This is the quintessential flavour of rum and a good measuring post for anything else that professes to be rum greatness as what ever multiple of this very affordable bottle.

This one is quite a bit sweeter then the 21 year old Nassau casks. Moderate burn. Drinks very easy... too easy :). Quite a nice rum especially for the price!

I cracked the bottle and had a nip straight away and was disappointed but after letting it breathe for 20 minutes was much better. Nose of slight banana. On the taste side caramel apples banana and slight apricot not bad at all

Nicely surprised with this fun blend. Better than it's predecessor, this rum is sweet, smooth, with slight crudeness you get from the Jamaican stills. Light, airy, and tasty. Tame this Jamaican rum with a Maduro cigar.

Not sweet no added sugar, just a tasty good old rum

I didn't quite get the fruityness everyone's talking about around here. Not sweet, it has strong dark flavours, a nice burn and a lingering aftertaste that's not bad but a bit unbalanced. I believe it can work really well, but only if you're into all of the above.
