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.

A good rum for the price and a good mixer with cola

While decently smooth, this bottle had a little kick to it both in bite and flavor. It was like drinking spiced rum but it was good. That said, as far as I'm aware, this bottle no longer exists. Bummer...

Tastes good, the aroma is rich and it’s very smooth!
Аромат
Сразу бросаются яркие ароматы эстеров, животные жиры и щетина, кокос, никаких ацетоновых тонов, жженая карамель, мокрый картон, очень сложный, газонная трава, тростник, камыш (в общем, много травянистых тонов), землистый, ваниль.
Вкус
Сладко-кисло-горький, продолжение носа, такой же сложный и насыщенный, сладость 7 из 10, такая же щетина, можно добавить клубничное варенье, специи, кокос.
Послевкусие
Кокос, древесное, деликатная горечь и лимонад колокольчик.
Итого
Как бы не критиковали его за сухость, но тут сухость вполне сбалансирована со сладостью. А сладости не так и мало. Отличный и уже довольно сложный ром за свои деньги. К тому же, открытая бутылка продолжает дышать, развиваться и улучшаться со временем.

It’s a beautiful blend of rums. Clearly not an everyday rum.

Nose: Quite soft. Light toffee that acts as a harbinger for a more distinct yet still soft acetone. The funk easily gives way to strawberry skins, dried mango, and baked bananas - interlaced by brief hints of earthiness. Mint chocolate. Turmeric and cardamom show up near the end.
Palate: Still delicate, beginning with honey and cacao. Dried figs leads a transition to coconut husk and chocolate rocks before a more refreshing layer of ginger ale and the strawberries and mangos from the nose. Bubbly mouthfeel with a medium body.
Finish: A very pleasant burst of singed wood, dark chocolate, and dried blueberries. The finish rarely surprises me, yet this one does.

Not as smooth as many, flavourful, but needs a mixer and lime/lemon
