Appleton Estate Rare Casks 12-Year

Great rum at a great price, pleasant banana notes and one of my go-to sippers. Bravo Appleton!

Bardzo złożony - są i nuty beczki (wanilia, dębina), i cukier trzcinowy, melasa, nieco kakao. Finisz długi, słodycz przełamana nutami drewna. Całość zbalansowana, nuty słodkie przełamane tanicznymi. Bardzo dobry.

I find this rum very smooth but it hits hard...also it's very oaky but with some hint of vanilla which helps a bit.

Lovely overripe fruit, toffee, caramel notes. Esters are not overpowering. A great example of a Jamaican pot still rum.

Nice dark gold in color. Almonds and caramelized nuts on the nose. A bit spicy at first on palate, then turns to mellow fruits and sugary notes. Taste lingers long time with a oak and spicy end.

Appleton 12 Year is great in a Mai Tai blend, a staple for cocktails, and good enough to enjoy neat. You get more oakiness from the age, but there's still a mild funkiness that will come through in a mixed drink.

Interesting. Tiramisu taste. Not so sweet, but very flavoured.

initial alcoholic note, drinkable on its own, a daily rum

oh my - didn't expect to like it this much but the rum ratings community steered me in the right direction again. One of my top 10 picks for the moment.

I was not a huge fan of the Appleton Rare Blend 12 as a sipper, but this is slightly better. Great for a Mai Tai to get that required Jamaican funk, but doesn't suit my palette for drinking neat. Tasted next to Plantation Xaymaca, which I liked better.
