Appleton Estate Rare Blend 12-Year

This is in my opinion the twin-brother of the 12-year Appleton. I could not taste if there is any difference. As Appleton 12-year is at this moment my no. 1 favourite sipping in is price class I will purchase both bottles again and compare it at the same time. So this review will be updated.

Un ron intenso, los aromas de naranja y chocolate están excelentemente definidos, en copa posee un gran cuerpo que se transmite en boca con un sabor fuerte y donde se aprecia el 43% de alcohol. Preferible a las rocas donde aligera su nivel de alcohol y con una pequeña rebanada de naranja para magnificar sus olor y sabor cítrico.

A personal choice for me, discovered this rum while on holiday in Jamaica. It has got me drinking rum ever since.

Very pure no gimmicks. Nice and oaky, heavy mollasses and caramel, yet smooth as it goes down.

Definitely not for beginners.But still I prefer the El Dorado.

Good when you need somehing to sip on. Not the best i have had from them

Not too easy to drink, strong, no sugar and the taste is same as the nose. The full body dark molasses rum. Increasing warm in your throat lasts long, there is no sugar to stop it, thankfully, you need to enjoy it till the end. It is amazing experience each time I drink it, it is rum for a real man. That is how I call it, I know it is not for everybody (especially for beginners) they will hate it and rate it very badly.

Very similar to the 21 year in taste. I prefer to drop an ice cube or two in this one to mellow out the strong presence of alcohol. The finish is sweet but not as lo g last g as the 21. I buy this one for my daily sipper and save the 21 for special occasions.

Очень даже не плохой ром, до 12 летнего эль дорадо или Пирата ХО не дотягивает конечно, но продукт качественный.
Хороший, приятный вкус. После первых глотков показался слегка жгучим во рту, но выпив ещё - все встало на свои места. Этот ром не отличается каким-то особо богатым вкусом на мой взгляд, но в целом я и не могу сказать ничего плохого о нем. Стоил около 30 евро за бутылку, за эти деньги он занимает адекватную позицию в своём классе.

6,5 - 7

Not as deep and complex flavor as my favorites. Tastes a bit like a whiskey. Still a very good sipping rum, though.
